Low self-esteem develops because life has falsely taught us that we are unworthy.
I help people who are stuck, in their heads or in undigested emotions, or in difficult life circumstances, relationships and families. I teach that the only person you can change is yourself, but when you do, the ripple effect is massive. Be the change you want to see, never mind what trauma has led to your anxiety, depression etc. We're all addicts: we all have devoted habits or coping mechanisms. After a while these harm us. Find another way. I use a Transpersonal approach because it's v effective. This means I remind you you are connected to something greater than yourself, however you define that - and how to employ that daily.

I work with adults and couples, with a particular focus on the nervous system.
Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain. Often, these experiences are not signs of weakness, but reflections of a nervous system that has been under strain for a long time.

I see you as a spiritual being navigating a human experience that can be challenging.

It isn't about fixing or improving who you are, it's about gently meeting what has been shaped by conditioning, fear and/or protection.

Self-esteem issues having you constantly apologizing to others and not taking up the space you deserve.
Based in Neuroscience, RTT changes neural pathways. Change directed by the conscious mind has its limits. Will power alone can’t break the chains of bad habits or fears. That’s why we find ourselves making the same New Year’s resolution time and again. To change we need more than just will power and logic. We need to go into the cellar of our mind.

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.
