As a therapist with a Master’s in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I work with individuals who often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, or self-doubt—even if on the outside, they seem to have it all together. You might find yourself overthinking, putting pressure on yourself to be perfect, or feeling like you’re never quite “enough.”
Sometimes, you’re not sure where these feelings come from. You may sense that old patterns, irrational thoughts, or unconscious beliefs are quietly shaping the way you see yourself and the world. You want to break free from that cycle, to feel more connected, confident, and calm.

Hi, I am very much a Person-Centred / Humanistic Counsellor who allows the client to explore their issues and find their own way forward. I believe that sometimes we just need to stop and breath and allow ourselves the space to explore what’s next for us. I understand that counselling is not a 'one size fits all' process so I work on an integrated basis with the client to explore the therapies that will work for them. I have a special interest in bereavement as I have been working with clients who have lost loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic. My own history of loss has helped me a great deal in this area.

I work with clients facing a wide range of presenting issues. Some feel stuck, caught in old, unhelpful patterns. Others grapple with anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt. Some are in emotional pain. Many appear outwardly capable, yet inwardly feel overwhelmed or in turmoil. They’re curious about how their past shapes their present and seek a space where they can truly be heard. Some have experienced trauma that affects their daily lives and relationships. They need space to explore and integrate these experiences. With all clients, I support them in understanding emotional patterns and connecting with their strength and agency.

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.
