Self Esteem
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with self-esteem, you may carry a quiet narrative that you are not enough. You might second-guess your decisions, compare yourself to others, or feel that your value depends on performance, approval, or appearance. Over time, this internal dialogue can shape how you show up in relationships, work, and leadership.
At Selah Counselling, we approach self-esteem with depth and compassion. Low self-worth is often rooted in early attachment experiences, repeated criticism, trauma, or chronic stress. Together, we explore where these beliefs began and gently challenge the patterns that keep them in place. We focus on strengthening self-awareness, regulating the nervous system, and building a stable identity that is not dependent on external validation. Our goal is to help you develop confidence that is grounded, resilient, and aligned with your true strengths and values.

Self-esteem can affect every aspect of our lives, from our relationships with others to how we think about and treat ourselves.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed approach, issues with self-esteem and self-worth are manifestations of unresolved trauma that has resulted in becoming disconnected and feeling unworthy, broken, incomplete or not enough. The work we can do together will include helping you better understand yourself, developing self-love, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance, and processing the unresolved trauma so you can ultimately reconnect to yourself.

Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
The way we think or talk to ourselves can greatly impact our overall self esteem. Many do not realize how hard we are on ourselves and how much that feeds into negative self talk. This can further impact our self worth. Therapy allows us to discover coping strategies, often resulting in changing the language we use within ourselves.

Self Esteem
Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Low self-esteem often feels like a loud, relentless inner critic that narrates your every move, pointing out your flaws and questioning your value. It can show up as chronic self-doubt, a tendency to "shrink" in social spaces, or a feeling that you are fundamentally "not enough." In our work, we move beyond simple affirmations to unpack the profound impact your history and environment have had on your sense of self.
Using an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, we’ll get to know the parts of you that carry the weight of old labels and criticisms. By weaving in psychodynamic and relational insights, we explore the origins of these beliefs—often finding that they were once survival strategies designed to protect you. My goal is to help you shift from a place of self-judgment toward radical self-compassion, unburdening the "not enough" narrative so you can step into your life with a genuine, grounded sense of your own worth and agency.
