Navigating life is a challenging task at the best of times and there are times when life may feel like anything BUT the best. Hi, my name is Yaela, and I work with clients on finding their inner strength and wisdom in order to navigate through life and its challenges. Aloneness brings suffering and shame but in finding the language to make sense of your experience and sharing what you are going through with a professional, your struggles can be transformed and can create new depths in your life. As a therapist I am trained to listen deeply and ask questions that may encourage you to think differently about parts of yourself.

I love my work and am blessed to be able to work with clients at a crossroads in their lives and help them break through current difficulties by understanding how ingredients in their past are obstructing their progress and their decision making. We work together to unlock unhelpful beliefs and find freedom from dynamics that are holding them back, at home and in the workplace, in relationships with partners, family members and friends. No problem is ever too small and it is often the ones you feel embarrassed to bring that are key to unlocking the problem.

Life can be a whole lot harder and more overwhelming than many like to admit, and reaching out for support is no easy task. So well done on getting this far- you don't have to struggle on your own anymore. The therapy I offer is an opportunity to share your truth and be seen, in the compassionate, non-judgemental space I hold for you each week. I will endeavour to be alongside you with whatever it is you need to share, whatever the emotional weather. Together we will begin to question old narratives that no longer serve you and look at how you operate in the world, in relationship and how you find meaning.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself — trying to keep life together while something deeper feels unheard or unseen. Perhaps you live with anxiety, stress, ADHD, or the lingering effects of earlier experiences that still shape how you relate to others. You might sense you’ve outgrown old coping patterns yet aren’t sure what could replace them. You long for steadiness, understanding, and a therapist who can help you make sense of what’s happening both inside and around you.

Psychosynthesis techniques range through art, guided visualisation, dreamwork, imagination, sub-personality work and much more, so that each individual in their own way, is offered an opportunity to re-evaluate their life and bring about change and personal growth, especially when faced with issues such as self-confidence, meaning, value and purpose in life.
My particular interest lies in guiding and encouraging people towards self-actualization and the integration of their fullest potential in whatever sphere of life they are engaged. This process may be seen as a journey, which we share together for at time and requires only ‘the willingness and the courage to be’. To participate joyfully in life is the goal at the heart of psychosynthesis therapy and coaching – and its achievement often comes in unexpected ways. We focus on developing your potential at all levels of being - body, feelings, mind and spirit - and on your deeper centre of identity as the source of true relationship.

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.
