Self esteem is a measure of your relationship with yourself. I can help you redefine that relationship by reviewing your core values, personal expectations and influences on you and your current state, and by providing guidance on how to be kinder to yourself. If confidence levels are low, I can help with very simple but effective ways to help you regain previous levels of self-belief, particularly if underpinned by excessive dependence on perceptions fuelled by social media and the Internet generally.
Do you struggle to believe that you matter, that you deserve to be happy? Are you reluctant to assert yourself and make decisions, do you struggle to move on from mistakes and blame yourself for negative things that happen? Having low self-esteem can affect you in every part of your life but it doesn't have to be like that forever. I can help you work out why your self-esteem is low and then we can work on strategies with tools to make it better.

How you feel about yourself is at the root of many different kinds of mental health difficulties. Feelings like shame can often control lots of different areas of life and I'm here to help you work through it. This kind of work can be deep but very rewarding.
We can use psychotherapy and processing to find potential triggers and reasons for low self esteem. Then we will follow up with a CBT approach and identify some of the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that follow these triggers. Together we can come up with ways to better manage some of these triggers, with goals of replacing unhealthy thoughts and behaviors with more meaningful ones.
