Self Esteem
Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
There are a variety of factors which contribute to low self esteem and each person experiences and describes this phenomenon differently. While we are social creatures, we are also protective of our own needs and safety. I will collaborate with you to form a non-static treatment plan that meets you where you are at.

Self Esteem
Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Self-esteem can often be very difficult to build, especially when our first natural tendency is to focus on other's perception of us. I work on turning client's focus on the self through self-care practices, processing and exploring past difficulties and emotional injuries. This helps clients to heal and build self-esteem by developing their uncompromisable self and learning how to set boundaries with themselves and others.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
A compromised self-esteem, that is, the way one sees themselves and the beliefs one holds about themselves, can have an extreme impact on one's quality of life; it shapes how they see the world, others, and the potential for what happens in the future. No one is born with poor self-esteem, it is learned; being able to unlearn these negative, maladaptive, and dysfunctional beliefs, and how to build one's self-esteem up so that an individual can believe, care about, and take care of, themselves, is imperative to a positive quality of life.

Kaleidoscope Counselling Collective
Registered Social Worker, RSW
We are often our own worst critic, holding ourselves to unrealistic standards and then beating ourselves up when we don’t meet them. When we are feeling low and disappointed, that’s when we would benefit from self-kindness the most. But feeling low is often a catalyst for even more criticism! It’s a bit of a vicious cycle. When we criticize ourselves, stress hormones are released and that, in combination with the increase in negative thoughts, can have a significant impact on our mood and functioning. Learning to speak to ourselves with kindness, and supporting ourselves when we are struggling, like we would with someone we care about, helps us to feel better in difficult times. It also helps us deal with life’s challenges in a healthier way.
Our therapists can help you explore past messages that have impacted your self-esteem, and current self-criticism that keeps you from feeling good enough. Your therapist will guide and support you as you make the changes you need to start feeling more confident and better about yourself overall.

Lori Ralko
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.A., RSW
Recently, I was watching a video clip of Brene Brown, the renowned social worker and shame researcher. She talked about empathy as the antidote to shame. Whereas shame that is hidden is permitted to grow and thrive, shame that is shared with an understanding and empathic ear has the opportunity to transform. My hope is that if you're struggling with negative feelings about yourself, you'll be able to share your thoughts and feelings with me when you feel safe to do so.

Philippa Klein
Counsellor/Therapist, PSW, MSW
We all struggle with confidence and self esteem issues. In my opinion, a therapeutic space is the ideal space to grow a better and more grounded sense of self. Through judgement and a compassionate and validating environment , it is never too late to unpack our deeply held inner critic.

Kathleen King
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Registered Social Worker
Self-esteem, self-confidence and sense of self are rooted in so much of our mental and emotional well-being. When we struggle with self-esteem, we tend to also struggle with boundaries, being assertive, and people pleasing. I will help you to re-connect with your most confident self; it's what I love to do the most. In my work with clients, I have noticed that when people express deep wounds in their self-esteem, it doesn't take much to help them realize who they are and what they want. Together, and with some humor, we will challenge the unhelpful thoughts that have you believing that you are not enough or that something is wrong with you, and have you feeling more confident, assertive and self-assured.

Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
The outside world too often gets to dictate how we feel about ourselves. We learn to rely on this external validation and approval in order to feel good, and never learn how to give it to ourselves. We walk around thinking we are not doing enough, working hard enough, exercising enough, eating healthy enough- simply put we believe we are not enough. Working together we will deepen your understanding of how this belief system or other narratives show up in your own personal experience; as well as focus on related feelings and behaviours that keep you feeling stuck. We will also explore tools to engage and connect with your Self to build trust and confidence and positive self-esteem.
"The more we give our inner voice a platform to be our guide, the more we generate feelings of inner worth and trust that we are enough." ~ Leigh
