Therapy for Actors

My experience transitioning from headshot photographer to therapist has given me a distinct and personal insight into actors' lives — their vulnerabilities, hopes, and dreams. I understand first-hand the unique pressures you face: the thrill of a successful audition, the anxiety before stepping onto a stage or in front of a camera and the emotional turbulence of navigating rejection in such a competitive industry.

Acting is rewarding yet demanding. You're often riding a rollercoaster of emotions, moving rapidly between highs and lows. Whether it's the anticipation of an audition, the vulnerability required for a role, or the stress of career uncertainty, therapy can become a powerful ally.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT can help you manage audition nerves, reduce performance anxiety, and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that might limit your potential. By identifying and shifting these patterns, you'll be empowered to approach auditions, performances, and career decisions with greater confidence and clarity.

Transactional Analysis (TA)

TA helps you better understand yourself and how you relate to others, including fellow actors, directors, and agents. Through exploring your past experiences and personal history, TA supports you in connecting deeply with your emotions, enriching your emotional range and bringing authenticity to your characters. By gaining insight into your emotional triggers and motivations, you'll be able to create more nuanced and compelling performances.

Positive Psychotherapy

Positive Psychotherapy focuses on harnessing your individual strengths, building resilience, and fostering lasting self-confidence. It supports your personal and professional growth by enhancing your sense of well-being, helping you maintain balance and positivity even amidst industry pressures.

Additionally, therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore complex emotional responses stirred up by challenging roles. By identifying connections between your personal experiences and the characters you portray, therapy helps you channel these insights effectively into your performances.

In an industry defined by bright spotlights and hidden pressures, therapy is your dedicated space to recharge, reflect, and grow. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored specifically to your life as an actor, helping you thrive both on stage/screen and off.
