Self Esteem
Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Low self-esteem isn't about lacking confidence. It's about carrying a deep sense that something's fundamentally wrong with you. You might be good at your job, have people who love you, tick all the boxes—but inside, you're convinced you're not enough. That if people really knew you, they'd see through the performance.
This feeling didn't come from nowhere. Somewhere along the line, you learned that who you are isn't acceptable. Maybe you were criticized, dismissed, or had to earn approval that should have been freely given. Your nervous system learned: "I have to be perfect/invisible/useful to be okay."
We work to understand where that belief got installed and why it's still running. Not through affirmations or telling you you're great—that doesn't work because you won't believe it. Instead, we look at what happened that taught you to see yourself this way, and then we start dismantling it.
Real self-worth isn't built through positive thinking. It's built through understanding why you learned to reject yourself, then slowly learning you don't have to anymore.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for low self-esteem and issues related to self-worth, including persistent self-criticism, feelings of inadequacy, shame, and difficulty recognising or trusting your own value. Many people I work with struggle with an internal sense of not being “enough,” which can affect relationships, decision-making, boundaries, and overall emotional wellbeing.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, providing a safe and reflective space to explore how these beliefs about the self may have developed over time. Together, we may look at early attachment experiences, relational dynamics, and internalised messages that have shaped how you see yourself and relate to others.
I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising how experiences such as emotional neglect, criticism, rejection, or relational trauma can contribute to ongoing difficulties with self-esteem. Therapy offers a space to gently explore and begin to shift these patterns, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
I also integrate somatic awareness to help you notice how self-critical beliefs and emotions are held in the body, supporting greater grounding and self-regulation. Psychoeducation may be used to deepen understanding of these processes, and where appropriate, I may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional processing and reduce intensity of self-critical states.
Therapy is collaborative and focused on developing a more compassionate, stable, and realistic sense of self, supporting you to relate to yourself with greater acceptance, confidence, and ease over time.
