Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Our sense of self-worth underpins everything we do and all decisions we make. I love the description of self-esteem as "the ability to like yourself when you lose, just as much as when you win". Few of us have ever done anything so truly awful to merit the level of self-loathing that some people place on themselves. Why limit yourself, your opportunities and your time in this world because of low self-esteem when we are all equally worthy of love and respect simply for being, regardless of achievements, success, looks, weight or whatever else you base your self-esteem on.

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.

Kajal Sohal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP-C
Do you find yourself constantly questioning your abilities, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you're never quite good enough? Low self-esteem can affect nearly every part of your life, from your relationships and career to the decisions you make and the opportunities you're willing to pursue. You might struggle to set boundaries, seek approval from others, or hold yourself to impossible standards while overlooking your own strengths and accomplishments.
I offer affordable, compassionate counselling to help you develop a healthier, more confident relationship with yourself. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and person-centred approaches, we can explore where negative self-beliefs originated, challenge patterns of self-criticism, and begin developing a more balanced and compassionate understanding of who you are.
I also recognize that self-esteem can be influenced by cultural expectations, family dynamics, past experiences, and feeling different from those around you. My culturally responsive, neurodivergent-affirming approach creates space to explore these influences while honouring your individuality, values, and personal identity.
Together, we can work on building self-confidence, strengthening boundaries, reducing people-pleasing behaviours, and learning to recognize your worth without constantly seeking external validation. You deserve to feel comfortable being yourself, expressing your needs, and pursuing the life you want.
I offer counselling in English and Punjabi and would welcome the opportunity to help you recognize your strengths, trust yourself, and develop a lasting sense of self-worth.

Self esteem is the core of our well being. We often lose it through life experience but we can regain it. I find EMDR particularly helpful in developing greater Self esteem

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Our overall wellbeing is affected by our level of self-esteem...to what degree we value ourselves as worthy of respect, are self-confident, are able to use our voice to set our boundaries and ask for our needs to be met. Negative thoughts we carry about ourselves at our core can cause our self-esteem to be low. The goal of therapy is to understand these core beliefs we hold about ourselves and reframe them or alter them in line with the present so that we can engage with life in a healthy way that brings us peace and happiness.
