Emilita works with professionals experiencing burnout, chronic stress and overwhelm, particularly those who have reached a point where constantly pushing through, achieving and holding everything together is no longer sustainable.

For some clients, ADHD may contribute to longstanding difficulties with attention, organisation and managing competing demands. Emilita supports clients to better understand these patterns and develop more sustainable ways of navigating work and everyday life.

Note: Emilita does not conduct ADHD assessments; her focus is on supporting those living with ADHD.

Emilita supports doctors and other health professionals to work in demanding careers with high levels of responsibility. She supports clients navigating:

• Perfectionism, shame, and self-criticism

• Burnout, stress, and overwhelm, and navigating a sustainable work/life balance (esp. where study may also be involved)

• Managing ADHD and its impact in a health professional role, including challenges with attention, organisation, prioritisation, and managing multiple competing demands.

• Self-organisation of the health professional workload, including time management during consultations, note-taking and reports, transitions between tasks (administrative and clinical), and avoiding work accumulation.

• Anxiety and overthinking regarding performance

Emilita is particularly experienced in working with high-achieving professionals from culturally diverse backgrounds, including those who have grown up with strong family and cultural expectations around achievement, success and responsibility.

Many of her clients navigate perfectionism, self-criticism and the pressure to live up to expectations that can be difficult to step away from.

Emilita works with high-achieving individuals who experience anxiety around public speaking, presentations and performance. She understands that these challenges are often driven by perfectionism, fear of judgement and the pressure to perform flawlessly. Her work supports individuals to better understand these patterns, develop greater confidence and ease, and feel more comfortable and authentic when speaking or performing in front of others. 

She is trained in the delivery of Speaking Volumes, The Skill Collective’s signature six-week structured program for public speaking anxiety, which combines mindset work with practical strategies to strengthen public speaking skills and build confidence. 

Emilita works with individuals to understand how patterns developed in early relationships can continue to influence self-esteem, expectations and relationships in adulthood.

These longstanding patterns may once have been protective, but can become unhelpful over time. Emilita helps with developing new ways of relating to others and understanding self and the world in order to thrive in life.

Emilita supports clients navigating significant life changes, including relationship breakdown, loss, migration and career transitions.

She appreciates that changes in life involve so much more than a change in circumstances - rather, identity, routine, relationships, and sense of sel can all shift.

Therapy can provide space to process change, adjust to new circumstances and explore the changes in this new stage.
