About us

As psychologists, we have the absolute privilege of watching people show up and tell the truth about their lives. We see the courage it takes to say, “I’m really not ok.” To be vulnerable. To be messy. To let all the parts of you be seen.​ And for a long time, we quietly believed that to hold that space for other people, we had to have it all sorted ourselves. Together. Complete. Strong. Unshakeable.

​

We carried that belief out of the therapy room and into our own lives. We felt the pressure to look like we were managing it all, work, relationships, expectations, emotions. And in truth? We obviously weren’t. No one is.

​

As our friendship grew, we started saying the bits out loud that we usually kept to ourselves. Admitting we felt overwhelmed, that we felt like imposters, and we regularly felt like we should just be ‘better’, whatever that means. We both felt the split of being the ‘professional’ in one room and the very human woman in another.

​

The more we talked, the more we realised something that didn’t sit well: we were holding ourselves to standards we actively challenge in our work. We were encouraging other women to be whole, imperfect and honest, while quietly trying to keep ourselves polished.

​

And we know it isn’t just psychologists. Our stories might look different, but so many women are doing the same thing. Showing up capable on the outside, while carrying doubt, pressure and exhaustion underneath. Juggling roles. Holding things together. Wondering why it feels so heavy. It is exhausting!

​

We wanted to rebel against that. To create a space where messy isn’t something to hide. Where being thoughtful and flawed can coexist. Where strength means being real, not holding it together. Where all parts of every woman belong.

​

The Imperfect Psychologists grew from that place.
