Our services are person centred. We are working with people, assisting them to recognise and identify their strengths, qualities, and inner resources. In our sessions we plan for success and help people to identify their pathway to develop a positive self-identity. We also assist in exploring and rehearsing a wide range of effective confidence building strategies in support of emotional wellbeing.
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.

Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
My focus is to go beyond the symptom and to understand early and later childhood history, since problems of self esteem are generally long standing. I encourage peoplel to be able to gain insight into earlier family relationships and to begin to develop a sense of self in which they can acknowledge their self worth
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, Advanced Clinical Skills in Gestalt Psychotherapy
While we largely 'inherit' our self esteem from the developmental experience we have as children, it is not a static entity but rather an ongoing project. Psychotherapy supports clients to nurture and build the self esteem they want for their lives.
