I help eldest daughters who grew up being the ‘good girl’ and struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism to live their lives feeling calm and confident, with a grounded nervous system!

If you have it “all together” but still feel pretty anxious, I get it. I’ve been you. I work with high-achieving eldest daughters tired of feeling anxious, overthinking, and self-doubt. Women who are feeling overwhelmed, stresse, or struggling with constantly pleasing others, being perfect, and never asking for help.

Hi, I’m Irene Evangelou, I am the owner and director of Irene Evangelou Therapy. I grew up in Greece. When I turned 18, I decided it was time for a change and I moved to my other home, here in Australia.

Even though I seemingly looked ‘perfect’ on the outside, I was experiencing crippling anxiety with bouts of depression and was not enjoying my life – I always knew I wanted something ‘else’.

My professional background in Psychology, Counselling and Rapid Transformational Therapy taught me a lot, especially how to live my life in balance with my wants and needs and feel grounded in the moment so I can enjoy the journey and appreciate the people in my life.

But I wasn’t always like that. I was all about the hustle, striving to get everything, feeling the pressure to be what everyone expected me to be, comparing my ‘achievements’ to people with different means and support systems, judging my shortcomings, and never feeling good enough! Since hitting my lowest point, I have been deeply committed to my own personal journey of overcoming anxiety, self-discovery, and growth. I believe that through my own personal journey and experiences with counselling and hypnotherapy (RTT), I have truly seen how it has worked, not just on me, but on the clients I have worked with.
