As a bilingual culture-sensitive counsellor I work with feelings, thoughts, attachments in a person-centered way, exploring the issues/difficulties that clients presented with. The Transtheoretical Model gives a perfect frame that enables us to measure progress and also assists us to identify issues at multiple levels. With my 5 years experience in mental health and my qualifications (BSc in Psychology and MSc in Psychotherapy) offers me a good understanding and an appropriate set of skills to work with clients. Being emphatic, approachable, friendly and positive are essential to good practice.

Is your self-worth holding you back? Are you looking for a safe space to speak openly, separate from your usual connections. Do you find yourself moving between overwhelm and shutdown, one moment everything feels too much, the next, you feel disconnected or unsure of yourself? Would you value support with discovering tools for emotional regulation and self-care. Maybe you're here looking at counselling profiles because you’re ready to explore what’s holding you back, discover your voice, what matters to you. My experience is rooted in supporting self-esteem, personal/work stress, anxiety, worry, and historical relational trauma.

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.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. It’s a deeply personal choice—and it matters that you feel safe, supported, and like you have a voice in the process. I believe therapy should be a collaborative journey, not something done to you, but with you. Together, we will work toward building the self-awareness and critical thinking that can help you navigate life with more clarity and confidence. As a wife and mother of three, I understand the complexities of real life. I bring that grounded perspective into the therapy space, creating an experience that feels deeply respectful of your individual values and story.

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.
