Self esteem and inner critics can be disabling in life. I am passionate about supporting and empowering you to deeply believe in who you are whilst building the strongest relationship with self.
Overcoming self-esteem issues is a common human experience, you are not alone. With expertise in this area, I provide a supportive environment to address and heal past traumas while rebuilding self-worth. I offer personalised strategies tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to challenge negative self-talk, build self-confidence, and foster a positive self-image. Together, we'll explore underlying factors, develop practical skills, and pave the way for a more empowered and fulfilling life.
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
When our self-esteem is low it can feel like everyone else in the world is 'getting it' but us. To my mind, low self-esteem, self-judgement, shame and isolation all co-exist cosily together and create fertile ground for each other. Because self-judgement will undermine our self-esteem, and lead to us feeling ashamed of ourselves. This happy combination then naturally leads us to draw inwards, away from the gaze of the world around us, and into isolation where nobody can see how 'worthless' we are (or believe ourselves to be).
Addressing this inner critic or inner judge is one of the keys to reclaiming our self-esteem.
Self-esteem is built every day. Our thoughts and behaviours either serve us and our self-esteem or erode us and our self-esteem. As a therapist, I help my clients address any self-limiting beliefs they might have about themselves and their abilities. We will also address their personal self-talk to change it from negative to positive if needed.
