YOU’RE NOT BROKEN.
YOU’RE JUST F*CKING EXHAUSTED.
Lived-experience mental health mentoring for the ones who are done pretending they’re fine. No fluff. No bandaids. Just real shit that actually helps.
I GET IT. NOT IN A ‘I READ IT IN A BOOK’ WAY.
I spent 20+ years navigating anxiety, identity loss, burnout, and the kind of quiet unravelling that nobody talks about.
I’m not a therapist. I’m not going to hand you a worksheet and tell you to think more positively. I’m the person who’s been in the shit-storm, come out the other side, and now helps other people do the same – with honesty, depth, humour, and zero fluff.
Mental Health, Done Differently.
BESHU – Be Seen, Heard & Understood – exists because the traditional mental health system lets too many people fall through the cracks. And I’m done watching it happen.
Based in Perth, Western Australia. Mental health mentoring worldwide online.

Mental health support that meets you where you are.
Recognise Yourself?
No one’s ever just one of these. But if any of them give you the “wholly shit…that’s me!” – let’s chat.
The Anxious AF & Completely Over It
You’ve tried the apps, the podcasts, the books. You can quote the “tools” verbatim. None of it touches the noise inside your head. You’re done with surface-level solutions.
The People Pleaser
You wish you could stop giving so many fucks about what everyone else thinks. You wish you could trust yourself – without needing everyone’s permission first.
The Confident-On-The-Outside, Crumbling-On-The-Inside
People think you’ve got it all together. You spend your nights lying awake worrying about everything. You just want your outside to match your inside.
The “What The F*ck Am I Doing With My Life”-er
Groundhog day after groundhog day. Doing all the things. None of it lighting you up. No idea where to start – just a feeling that something has to change.
The Perfectionist
You wish you could just let shit go. But you spend hours making things “perfect” that nobody else would even notice. You’re exhausted holding yourself to standards you wouldn’t dare hold anyone else to.
The Self-Doubter
Self-doubt is your anxiety’s best friend. The voice that fills your head with “you can’t, you shouldn’t, who do you think you are.” You’re so over second-guessing every decision.
The Overwhelmer
The constant anxious-overwhelmed-shit-storm cycle. Things you know don’t matter still consume your energy. You’re moody, irritable, and you hate how it’s affecting your relationships.
The “But I’ve Done THE WORK”-er
You’ve seen the psychologist. Done the inner-child work. Read all the books. Your self-help shelf is starting to feel like a graveyard. You’re still stuck – and that might be the worst part.
Mental health doesn’t give a shit about your gender, your age, your job, or how “together” you look from the outside. It comes for all of us. If any of this hit a nerve – even a little – send me a message.
No obligation. No pitch. Just a real chat to see if I can help you through where you’re at.
HI, I’M LOU.
Mum. Mentor. Recovering people-pleaser. Professional overthinker turned calm-in-the-chaos.
I spent two decades drowning in anxiety I couldn’t name, performing a version of “fine” that nearly broke me, and ‘game-facing’ my way through life while everyone told me how strong I was.
Spoiler: I wasn’t strong. I was surviving. And the moment I stopped pretending – everything changed.
Now I help other people do the same. Not with textbook advice or toxic positivity. With real talk, lived experience, and the kind of support I wish I’d had.
Real conversations.
Zero filter.
Getting Vulnerable is the podcast for the people who are sick of toothless mental health content. Real stories. Lived experience. The conversations everyone’s having in their heads at 2am – out loud.
Want to Talk First?
No pressure. No pitch. Just 20 minutes to suss if I’m the right kind of human for what you’re navigating. We chat about where you’re at, what you’ve tried, and whether the work I do fits what you actually need.
Worst case: we find out we’re not a fit. Best case: you finally feel heard.
