Self Esteem
Mairead Cleary
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
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Low self-esteem can quietly shape every decision, the relationships you accept, the opportunities you pass on, the voice in your head that's always a little too critical. If you're ready to build a stronger, kinder relationship with yourself, let's work together to help you get there.
The first step in working on self-esteem is understanding that your worth was never up for debate. It's the beliefs about yourself that need examining, not you. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where these beliefs took root and build a more grounded, compassionate sense of self. My approach focuses on self-compassion, accountability, and practical steps toward genuine confidence.
You don't have to do this alone. Let's take the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with yourself.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
