In modern life, we often feel that self-esteem is something that comes from our achievements, successes and how we are perceived by others. We often fall into the trap of believing that other people are the cause of our low self-esteem. However, self-esteem flows from the inside-out. What this means is that as we get back in touch with who we really are and allow ourselves to flow from that space our self-esteem naturally begins to increase.
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.

All of us are a unique combination of things we do well, and things we do not do well. People with low self-esteem have a flawed understanding of themselves. My objective in psychological counselling is to help my clients engage in a realistic appraisal of their strengths and weaknesses, and truly celebrate themselves. Many of us have endured experiences sometimes at the hands of family and/or at the hands of peers that have damaged our ability to achieve an objective understanding of what we do well. I believe the goal of counselling is to correct this.
