AREAS OF FOCUS
Career-focused psychological services designed to help you unleash your potential.
Self Confidence
What would it feel like to feel more confident and authentic at work? Does your mindset often hold you back? This area of our practice includes working through impostor syndrome, people-pleasing tendencies (i.e., unassertiveness) and a general focus on building confidence to shine in your job and life.
Public Speaking Confidence
Are you struggling with the pressures to perform or speak up at work? Or maybe you are looking to optimize your performance? In this area of our work, we focus on building high-performance habits and decreasing work-related performance anxiety (such as public speaking & interview anxiety).
Entrepreneur GOAL SETTING
Are you wanting to elevate your leadership skills? Become more focused on your goals as an entrepreneur? We work with entrepreneurs to focus on building leadership skills and emotional intelligence, biohacking your schedule to support your success and monthly/quarterly goal-setting.
CAREER COUNSELLING
Do you want to build a meaningful career? Perhaps you're considering a career move or looking for support with creating a career plan for yourself. We work with you on career goal setting & exploration, resume development & branding, mock interview prep, and supporting the creation of onboarding plans.
hello, i’m amanda
I'm a Toronto-based psychologist passionate about helping my clients build soul-filled and purposeful careers with less fear.
I founded my practice in 2019 with the main goal of helping leaders, professionals and students overcome public speaking anxiety, develop confidence in their careers and unleash their full potential. My #1 goal with my clients is to support them in building their own personal toolkit of strategies to help them with presentations, business meetings, job interviews and in their day-to-day performance of their jobs.
Do you have benefits for a psychologist?
For residents of Ontario: you can check with your provider if your services qualify for insurance coverage.
Let’s work together
1:1 Psychological
Services
We schedule at least two 1.5 hour sessions in the discovery phase of our work together. After that, the sessions are typically 1 hour and are generally a mix of reviewing exercises, discussing strategies, and progress you’ve made. We apply solution-focused strategies rooted primarily in mindfulness, neuroscience and cognitive behavioural methods.
At this time, all appointments are virtual and take place over a secure encrypted platform.
Group Psychological
Services
We’ve designed a 10-week online group program to help you fear less and speak more. This signature program combines psychoeducation, science-based strategies, in-class activities and group-based learning to help individuals develop their own personalized toolkits for coping with public speaking. This program is structured yet dynamic; while it is lecture-based, you will have plenty of opportunities for questions, participation and sharing (as much or as little as you want!)
Psychological Services for Organizations
We have designed several webinars and workshops delivered to organizations and groups of all sizes on topics including public speaking self-confidence, growth mindset, goal-setting, and mitigating stress in the workplace. At this time, all workshops and webinars are virtually delivered.

Fear less, not fearless: Why accepting our fear of public speaking is the pathway to personal success
When we meet for the first time, most of my clients say their goal is to totally extinguish their fear of public speaking. However, this not only sets you up for black and white thinking—’either I get rid of my public speaking fear, or I don’t!’—it also makes the goal less attainable and reinforces the idea of the fear being a ‘bad’ thing.
