Our self-esteem is essential for taking care of our mental health. working with low self-esteem through an emotionally focused perspective focuses on addressing the emotional experiences that contribute to feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. Low self-esteem often arises from early attachment injuries, such as experiences of rejection, criticism, or abandonment, which can leave individuals feeling insecure in their relationships and disconnected from their true selves. Emotionally focused work aims to help individuals explore and identify the emotional patterns that maintain low self-esteem such as self-criticism, fear of vulnerability, or emotional withdrawal. The goal of our work is to rebuild emotional safety and connection, which over time will contribute to developing a deeper sense of self-worth and confidence, which increases self-esteem and improves our overall emotional well-being.

During therapy, we work with scripts that have left you feeling less than, not enough or broken. We help you challenge these assumptions and find a centre of acceptance and appreciation for the unique qualities you bring to the world.
Many people have an inherent negativity bias, that is, they are much more drawn by the negative and much likelier to notice and thus remember negative life occurrences. I believe that this is a large contributing factor to low self-esteem, as it is oftentimes much easier to notice our own faults and wrong doings, while taking for granted our accomplishments and positive qualities that make us a unique inhabitant of this earth. In my work with clients, I aim to shed light on the positives in an effort to help client’s re-story their lives from a narrative of lack to one of abundance.

Specializing in self-esteem issues, I provide a nurturing environment to explore and challenge limiting beliefs, supporting you in cultivating a positive and resilient self-image.
My approach to enhancing self-esteem is rooted in expressive arts therapy, recognizing that self-expression is fundamental to developing a positive self-image. This method encourages clients to explore and articulate their inner experiences through various creative modalities.
Key aspects of our work include:
Utilizing diverse artistic mediums to externalize and process self-perceptions
Expanding the range of creative expression to broaden self-awareness
Translating creative insights into daily life practices
Challenging limiting beliefs through artistic exploration
Through guided creative exercises, we work to uncover and reinforce positive aspects of the self that may have been overlooked or undervalued. This process aims to build a more comprehensive and authentic self-image.
The goal is to empower clients to develop a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence. By fostering creativity and self-expression, we seek to cultivate a more resilient and positive self-concept, ultimately supporting overall emotional well-being and healthier relationships with oneself and others.
I am offering an effective approach for individuals struggling with low self-esteem. We all understand the importance of how we perceive and value ourselves. “Who am I? What are my goals? What are my priorities? What do I want, like and where do I go? Do I deserve this or that?” – that’s what we explore and build in the therapy. You learn to accept yourselves, cultivate self-awareness and self-compassion, and build a more positive and realistic image of yourselves.
Do you struggle with low self-esteem and low confidence? Do you feel stressed in your roles and relationships because of your poor self-worth? You do need to continue to suffer when you can work on improving self-esteem which had benefits in multiple domains of your life. Psychotherapy can help!

If you have low self-esteem, you might be always trying to people-please or go ‘above and beyond’ at work or with your friends and family. As long as you keep meeting these standards you may feel okay, but there will inevitably be times when it’s not possible to do so, and this can quickly leave you feeling low and anxious. Therapy can help her these patterns rooted often from childhood.
