Self Esteem Therapists in Guelph, ON
Whether you find yourself going through a rough time, or you finally have the capacity to address ongoing issues, now is your moment to focus on you. Every person has inner resources and gifts to help them heal and find balance, and sometimes we also need a little help and guidance along the way. I bring to my work authenticity, humour and compassion that focuses on truly understanding your unique story and goals, while supporting you to nurture the strengths you already possess. I provide counselling services to individuals age 18 and older, and couples counselling inclusive of all relationship models.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to access a version of you that feels trapped within? You are not alone. Specializing in facilitating growth in adolescents and adults, I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression stemming from self-worth concerns, past hurtful experiences, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wounds from hurtful experiences can significantly impact how we perceive ourselves, the world, and others. These wounds may prevent you from living a life aligned with your true wants and values.

As a film and book lover, I’ve always been fascinated by the power of stories to shape our lives. Just like the characters we connect with on-screen or in a novel, the stories we tell about ourselves can have a profound impact on how we see the world and our place in it. In my practice, I bring this passion for storytelling into our work together, helping you explore and reshape your own story in a way that feels authentic and empowering. Whether it's finding new perspectives or rewriting old narratives, I believe that understanding and owning your story can be a powerful tool for change.

You second-guess yourself, struggle to feel “good enough,” and often feel anxious in relationships or social situations. Maybe you’re stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, guilt, or self-doubt. You’re constantly battling that voice in your head that always finds something wrong and feeling like you have something to prove.

Navigating the complexities of life, career, and relationships can be overwhelming. I foster a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore more about experiences and emotions. Our lives are a tapestry where experiences, relationships, and inner battles intertwine which shapes our identities influencing our paths.

You might find yourself caught between longing for connection and fearing what it might bring. Maybe you notice repeating patterns, old wounds that won’t heal, or a deep sense that you are “too much” or “not enough.” Whether it shows up in body image struggles, disordered eating, relationship conflict, or the weight of childhood wounds, attachment trauma can leave you stuck in cycles of self-protection. Healing isn’t about fixing, you are not broken; it’s about feeling seen, understood, and supported as we explore your past, honour your present, and build a freer, lighter future.

You are not alone. We know it hasn’t been easy these past few years and we see the impact on youth mental health. Early intervention for youth is so critical for better health outcomes later in life. When youth are empowered towards a greater sense of wellness they interact with the world around them in a positive and dynamic way. Providing a safe space where youth can talk openly about their lived experiences as they work towards their mental health goals is transformative in itself.

Adulting is tough at times; different life stages, different goals and opportunities. Much of our personal history influences how we approach challenges in life and how we interact with others. Family can be a source of support, or not. The same can be said about those who surround us; work, social and friend groups. I believe we have the tools within us to deal with what life throws at us. It may be a tweak or a subtle shift of thought that will make the difference, or it may take a while due to previous traumas.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and burnt out? Do you find yourself so caught up in the ‘what ifs’ that you struggle to enjoy what is? Perhaps you put on a carefree mask for the outside world, but inside you’re quietly suffering from racing thoughts, feelings of dread, and a harsh inner critic. When fear and self-doubt take over, they can drive you to avoid the things that make life most meaningful, like taking risks, having hard conversations, and building deeper relationships. I'm here to help you overcome these unhelpful patterns to create a life of more connection and fulfillment.

Frustrated with hitting the same walls again and again? Can't find the right kind of help? Men are less likely to seek mental health support because they believe it will be ineffective, invasive or belittling. At Cogent, we provide evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment, delivered by a qualified professional in a secure format to get you back on track.

My name is Dave Robinson. I am known to many as the “Go-to-Guy for Helping Guys” and I have been coaching and counselling men for nearly 2 decades. I offer individual therapeutic counselling for men, 18 years and older. I wholeheartedly believe that my clients are experts in their lives. That stated, I focus on helping men of all stages, ages, orientations and cultures awaken to their highest potential (to become the best partner, father, son, friend, and brother) by helping them discover and develop the mature masculine aspects of their character that have either stalled, or have yet to be discovered.
