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.
Believe in yourself. Create healthy boundaries. Acceptance of yourself. Developing necessary skills. These are the four foundations of self-esteem. Step by step we will build the building of your self-esteem.
In my experience, self-esteem is closely linked to the limiting beliefs we hold, often formed in childhood. We tend to think we need to wait until we feel confident to take action and assume everyone else is already confident. This isn't true. We also tend to compare our worst selves to others' best versions of themselves. Together, we will address your inner critic, which mistakenly believes that criticizing you is keeping you safe. This is not true. We build self-esteem by addressing our limiting beliefs and assumptions, changing how we relate to ourselves, and by doing the things we are scared of but long to do.

Confidence and self esteem are areas we work with all the time. I run a Self Confidence seminar which helps people understand and to learn how to deal with their issues in this area.
