Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Many of us are conditioned in different ways that result in us not loving ourselves and having low self-esteem. Working through our conditionings leads us to more self confidence, self love and more fulfilling relationships.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Self-esteem concerns can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a feeling of not being “enough,” no matter how much you achieve or how hard you try. You might find yourself second-guessing decisions, comparing yourself to others, or feeling disconnected from your innate worth. Often, these patterns develop over time through our early experiences, relationships, and internalized messages about your value.
In our work together, we’ll explore the roots of these beliefs and how they continue to shape the way you see yourself today. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll pay attention to both the emotional and nervous system patterns that maintain self-criticism and low self-worth. We’ll focus on developing a compassionate, more embodied sense of self-acceptance and internal safety.
I draw from approaches such as IFS, ACT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work on reducing self-criticism, strengthening self-compassion, and building a stronger sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Individuals with low self-esteem often have an intense fear of being judged. Their thoughts typically involve beliefs around incompetence or inadequacy, and some clients with low self-esteem may even believe that they are defective.
These harsh self-judgments often interfere with the ability to live a fulfilling life largely due to avoiding new behaviours that may re-affirm feelings of incompetence or inadequacy. In therapy, I help clients gain insight into some of the thoughts and emotions that prevent the establishment of self-worth and self-love.
Through various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive restructuring and a focus on values-oriented work, we work collaboratively to help move away from self-defeating behaviours, such as avoidance, and closer toward experiences that promote healing.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Self-esteem is shaped by more than your thoughts about yourself. It's built through nervous system experiences, attachment history, and the social and cultural messages absorbed long before you had words for them. I work with clients on all of that together, not just the internal critic, but the conditions that created it and the body that still carries them.

Olivia Fermi
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RTC, ConRes Cert
Together we'll look at both sides of self-esteem -- your self image and your relationships with others. I will support you to look at family of origin, culture of origin, and religious programming to understand how your sense of self and of boundaries has been conditioned. With understanding you'll come to a place where new choices are natural. Homework between sessions will help you integrate healthier self-esteem. I'll be there with you as you come into your genuine self with authenticity.

Shelley Westergard
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling Psychology, MACP, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, BA, Addictions Certificate
Working with a client's self esteem comes with unpacking the background around what has happened for them. I will want to hear your story, I will ask questions to go deeper, I will pause you to rest on underlying hidden emotions, I will ask more questions to evoke more of all of this. It can take deep work to unpack what has hurt our sense of self, and beautiful work to recover it.

Rosemary Laurel
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Self-worth and self-compassion. These are the key words here. I don't just work at the surface level - I do a deep dive with you into what is at the root of your feeling of not being good enough. And all along the way, every moment, every experience is an opportunity for remembering self-compassion. This isn't an easy journey. It's not a quick fix. But the difference between beating yourself up and loving yourself is the a shift that can change everything. I can help you feel safe to connect to all your inner parts that have been pushed away, rejected, and repressed, so that you can hold space for them with love and allow them to integrate their hidden wisdom back into your whole person.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Self-esteem comes from being resilient from being in environments that support who we are as 95% of how we think-feel-act comes from the environment we grew up in (home-school-society). Self-esteem, knowing/liking who we are, & resiliency can grow when doing neurofeedback, hypnosis and counselling.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
True self-esteem isn't about constant confidence; it’s about having a grounded, compassionate relationship with all parts of yourself. Drawing on over 15 years of experience, I help you move beyond the 'inner critic' to understand the roots of the shame or self-doubt that holds you back.
We explore how your sense of worth may have been shaped by early life experiences and survival strategies that no longer serve you. By using a Parts Work lens, we work to unburden the parts of you that feel 'not enough,' replacing old patterns of self-criticism with a resilient sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you cultivate an internal security that allows you to show up authentically in your life and relationships.

Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
Low self-esteem often develops from long-standing patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, or early experiences that shaped how you understand your worth. It can show up as chronic doubt, shame, or feeling “not good enough,” and may contribute to anxiety, depression, or even addictive coping. Using Internal Family Systems and Compassion-Focused Therapy, I help clients explore these inner beliefs with curiosity and warmth—understanding the protective parts that formed over time and learning to relate to themselves with greater kindness.
