Hi I'm Liz and I work with adults and children/young people who are struggling with grief, anxiety or low self-esteem. Does that sound like you or your young person? I can help. Together we can be curious about what is troubling you - we can identify coping strategies or perhaps look more deeply into root causes e.g patterns of behaviour learned in childhood.

The anticipated outcome from our therapeutic relationship would be for you to find healing and wholeness in the work we do together. My training and experience means nothing, unless the real me can reach out to the real you with genuine care, empathy and understanding. I am interested in being part of your journey, to help empower you to fully engage in what life has to offer rather than being trapped within pain, trauma or unhappiness which can be devouring. Nothing makes me happier to see the broken get in touch with their true selves, their cause of emotional pain or anxieties, and to share that growth, change and healing.

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.
