Much of our self esteem is originally developed through a healthy interactive relationship with our parents or caregivers during childhood. Interruptions, abuse or neglect during childhood creates a break in the development of self esteem. This can be addressed in therapy, changing self-defeating beliefs formed as a result of how you were treated, and creating ways to build your self esteem in adult life.
How do you begin to feel good enough about yourself? With the help of psychotherapy there is a route to feel better. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.
Perhaps you have had a big knock in your self esteem or maybe it's always been shaky. I find struggles with self esteem are often linked with having a strong critical voice which doesn't truly help us. I naturally see the best in people and can work with you to be more on your own team. We can work to increase your confidence by changing how you see yourself and talk to yourself. Together we can create a more compassionate and encouraging voice towards yourself that drives you more to live the life that you want.
