Self Esteem Counselling in Buxton
Sometimes the difficulties you have in the present are influenced by how things have been for you in the past. How you have coped with the tough experiences, the beliefs you have developed about yourself and the world, your habitual responses. You want to improve things for yourself but you can't see a way through. Maybe you have tried other ways of getting better, maybe with some success, but the underlying problems just turn up in different ways. You are here because you know that you are not out of options. Psychotherapy has helped many people like you. And with me, you are in a safe pair of hands. EMDR is an option for you too.

We live in a world which throws a lot at us, and expects a lot of us. And, very often, we expect a lot of ourselves too. For many of us, it can help to talk through what we’re dealing with, to help us understand what’s going on and find a way forward. Whether you’re dealing with anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression, identity, loneliness, powerlessness, relationship difficulties, or simply want to talk things through, I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore what you’re feeling, and how you can manage it. We’re all different and we all need to find our own way. I can help you do that.

I believe in the potential of all individuals. It is why I do what I do.
When we experience stressful times in life, it can be difficult to see our own strength, resilience and resourcefulness.
I can help you to reconnect with these skills, empowering you to discover your own coping strategies which will serve you now and in the future.
I have a compassionate and warm approach. I will validate your feelings and will listen with empathy and without judgment.

I have experience of working with clients from varied backgrounds covering many different issues including bereavement and loss, stress, divorce, workplace bullying, low self esteem, LGBTQ+ issues and family disagreements.
We can work creatively, we can talk or we can be in silence - the space is yours for whatever you need. Everybody faces challenges in their lives and we don't always have the resources to cope on our own. In these moments, counselling can help.

Hello, I'm Libby and I am a person-centred psychotherapist based in the Peak District near Bakewell.
My particular passion is working with people coping, adapting and living with chronic illness; having my own long-term illnesses has made me aware of the limitations of support available.
I work with bereavement, carers and people with terminal illnesses, with my experience coming from volunteer work at Ashgate Hospice, where I helped individuals with their unique experiences around death and loss.
I also work with clients who have experienced trauma and abuse, helping them to process their experiences and rebuild their lives.

Are you a highly sensitive woman who often feels overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself? Perhaps you're the one who holds it all together - for your family, clients, or colleagues - yet inside, you're exhausted, overthinking, and unsure how to slow down. You might say yes when you want to say no, struggle to rest without guilt, or find yourself numbing with food, alcohol, or endless doing. If you’re longing for calm, clarity, and space to just be, I can help.

Hi, my name is Jeanette. Life can be challenging, difficult & stressful at times, affecting how we feel emotionally. We can become anxious, worried, stressed, depressed or just generally feel overwhelmed. In order to manage how we are feeling, we can develop unhelpful thinking & behaviours which can hinder our growth, leading to us becoming stuck in vicious cycles.
By understanding & recognising our unhelpful thinking & behaviours we can start to look at ways to modify these to improve how we feel. Therapy can help you gain control over thoughts & behaviours; develop healthier coping strategies; build self-confidence & resilience.

Trying to resolve the issues troubling you alone can feel overwhelming. Reaching out for help is a proactive first step in starting to feel better. I provide a welcoming, safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to talk about what is troubling you. It is very natural to feel nervous about coming to counselling for the first time. I understand and never lose sight of this. I offer a complimentary 20-minute introductory telephone consultation. Some new clients prefer to book their first appointment without a call. It about what feels best to you.

Do you feel empty behind the face you show to the world? Do you struggle to identify what you want and need? If someone asks for your opinion, do you often think “I don’t know”? Perhaps it’s difficult to make decisions. Or you might compare yourself to others, but always come up short. Perhaps it feels as though the real you has got lost somewhere along the way. You might be feeling this way after a change in life circumstances. Or perhaps you’ve felt this way since an early age.

For Men Navigating Life's Challenges -
Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or struggling to find your way? As men, we're often expected to "power through" or "tough it out" when life gets difficult. Many of us reach a point where we realize that navigating these challenges alone doesn't have to be the only option.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, or just that nagging feeling that something's missing, I get it. As a male therapist, I understand the unique pressures men face today – because I've faced them too.

How to explain what counselling is... If you're holding a cup of coffee and somebody accidentally bumps into you, you will most likely spill a drop or two, or depending on the bump impact a few spoonfuls or more. If there had been tea or something else in your cup, the result would be the same. Your emotions and feelings are like the coffee, because sometimes when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen to us all) whatever is inside your cup will spill out. Sometimes life can be easier until you get bumped.....but then you may need somebody to talk to, this is where counselling can help.

Supporting all ages in navigating life's changes and self-esteem challenges
You might be feeling overwhelmed — juggling responsibilities, navigating relationships, or just carrying a constant undercurrent of anxiety or self-doubt. Maybe past experiences still affect you in ways you’re only beginning to notice. If you’re finding it hard to feel grounded or at ease, therapy can offer the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, it’s simply about having a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as you make sense of what’s going on day-to-day.

Self Esteem Counsellors
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.
