Our esteem of ourselves is always relational, meaning when we assess our value or worth, it's in relation to others. With low self esteem the 'other' is always so much better. More industrious. More intelligent. Better looking.
My four part program allows you to see the inaccuracy of your judgments and to value yourself more highly.

Illume Psychology is a boutique psychology practice that offers a nurturing space to meaningfully and collaboratively work through your inner troubles. Through the transformative potential of an ongoing therapeutic conversation we will seek to understand your self-esteem and make helpful discoveries that bring about meaningful and sustained change in your life.
Self esteem and inner critics can be disabling in life. I am passionate about supporting and empowering you to deeply believe in who you are whilst building the strongest relationship with self.
You are so much greater than you can ever know! if only we could see ourselves the way others see us. Everyone is deserving of love, supportive relationships (friendships, lovers, meaningful connections) and fulfilment. It would be my honour to sit beside you and empower you to find your source of inner truth, without the loud critical voice in your head directing you away from your essential nature. Let us meet your particular flavour of greatness.
When life takes an unexpected twist be it in your profession or personal lives this can significantly impact on your self-esteem, worthiness and confidence level. Low esteem may result in you not feeling good enough in life, with yourself, your relationships or the career that you deserve.
I have helped many individuals overcome the inner critics and limiting beliefs that hold them back in life. Using a variety of modalities, I help you to develop more self-awareness, how to value yourself to boost your confidence level. We will work together to create a healthier relationship with yourself, reconnect with the inner self so you can reclaim your power back and regain your self-esteem.
How we think and feel about ourselves drives many of our behaviours and interactions with others, and often determines our internal motivation and sense of control. Working on self esteem through understanding contributing factors throughout our development can revolutionise our sense of self, allowing barriers to achievement to be minimised and helping to create a purposeful and rewarding internal world that matches what may be acted out externally, leading to authentic self-esteem that contributes to happiness and satisfaction.

Many people struggle with self esteem issues. This may be a result of conditioning or negative experiences. I work with clients to identify the root cause and apply relevant therapy to achieve lasting results. Therapie may include EMDR, CBT and clinical hypnosis.
Self esteem is about liking yourself! It's when we can think about ourselves and feel positive. This is very hard to do if we have a strong inner critic and lack self understanding and self compassion. I work with clients to increase awareness of this critic, understand ourselves so that we 'make sense', which makes self love so much easier.
