Self Esteem Counselling in South London
I am a group analytic psychotherapist offering both group and individual psychotherapy. I work from London Bridge and various spots around South East London and kent Borders and of course through Zoom and Teams if that is what you prefer.
My work is grounded in the belief that emotional difficulties are shaped within relationships, social contexts, and the wider world we live in—and that healing often happens from there too.
I offer a thoughtful, collaborative space to explore distress, patterns of relating, and questions of meaning, whether these show up in your personal life, work, or relationships.

Every individual has their own unique journey towards self-acceptance. In our work together, I will help you gain deeper insight into the challenges you are facing and consider ways to bring about meaningful change. We will mutually agree on a pace that feels right for you to start looking more deeply into what is causing you to suffer. Together, we'll explore ways to challenge negative or harmful patterns and identify healthier alternatives. My approach is primarily person-centered, though I may also draw from other therapeutic styles using a holisitic/psychospiritual lens to support the shift towards healing the whole self.

As a result, clients seek support because they struggle with anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, and/or physical health issues.
Sometimes you may feel able to talk to trusted family or friends. However, at this moment, a private, secluded space may be what you need if you feel depressed, low, anxious, scared, or hopeless because of a current situation or something that happened in previous relationships. As a result, unwanted thoughts or images keep feeding overwhelming feelings and unwanted behaviours. These feelings, thoughts, and behaviours can feel too difficult to understand, manage, or share with anyone, leaving you feeling alone or misunderstood. I offer privacy and a trusted space where you can share your experiences at your own pace.

Taking that first step to therapy can feel daunting, but talking to someone who isn't involved with your everyday life can help you untangle your thoughts and feelings and find much needed space to reflect and make changes in your life. Through counselling, I believe we learn to access the innate knowledge of what we each need to heal and engage in life more fully. My approach is collaborative and down to earth and along side traditional talking therapies, I use the creative imagination, the body and mindfulness techniques to create a way of working that best suits you.

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.
