I am a professional counsellor with lived experience of addiction and mental health challenges. This lived experience has given me a unique perspective that I bring into my counselling practice. Alongside my professional training, it allows me to connect with clients in a way that is authentic and compassionate. I understand that recovery and personal growth are not always straightforward, and that everyone’s journey is different. My role is not to judge or tell you what to do, but to work alongside you as you explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.

Many people face feelings of stress, anxiety, or low mood, alongside the challenges that life can bring. Issues such as grief, trauma, questions of identity, career uncertainty, or navigating life transitions and ageing can feel isolating or difficult to manage alone. Often, there is a desire for relief—a greater sense of stability, confidence, and peace—and a need for a supportive, understanding space where it is possible to feel heard and respected while moving forward at a comfortable pace.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.

What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.

What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.

How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
