Self Esteem Counselling in West London, London

In my experience every client comes to therapy with a unique set of life circumstances. Sometimes these contribute to personal and emotional problems which can feel overwhelming or even insurmountable. Often, it is at this point that a person reaches out for professional help. They may identify that low mood, negative thinking, stress or relationship problems are impediments to living a good life and they will want help to restore healthy self-esteem, confidence, balance and self-worth. Often clients are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental, compassionate and caring professional to guide them on their journey to wellbeing.

Welcome to my page, I am Belly Elisabeth and I would be happy to assist you. My clinical experience includes working with a diverse population and range of issues, such as domestic violence, trauma issues, couple relationship , anxiety, depression, and divorce, self-esteem, anxiety, panic attacks bereavement... As a French citizen, I am also able to offer therapy in French.

I work with a range of clients who are exploring questions of meaning and identity and seeking ways to live a more fulfilling life. Many of the clients who come to me are feeling overwhelmed and are looking to make changes in their lives, but do not know where to start and often have never had enough emotional support or space in which to explore their process and the recurring patterns in their life. Together, we work to understand issues such as anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation, authenticity, loss, or low self-esteem and look for a path to healing and growth.

Do you suffer from counterproductive, intrusive thoughts? Are you critical of yourself, ignoring your achievements and strengths? Do you struggle with self-confidence and believing in yourself? Perhaps, you strive to make changes to your life, but no matter how hard you strive, you find that the same thinking patterns and responses occur to you repeatedly. You may find yourself stuck, or returning to lacklustre, even toxic relationships. You may find that you struggle with your self-image, whether physical, financial, interpersonal, spiritual or social.

As a people pleaser, you are used to putting others before yourself. People often describe you as the Nice Guy/Girl and often confide in you with what they are going through but you don’t really have the someone to do the same for you. You often feel lonely, lost, unappreciated and unseen. You wonder when will I be seen and appreciated for all I do and who you are? When will I find someone to help me as much as I help others. What if that could all change?

Do you find yourself not saying or doing what you really want to out of fear for what other people would think? Do you struggle to make decisions, overthink and second guess yourself? Do you struggle to communicate your needs or experience lack of confidence in any area of your life? Do you feel that you have repeat cycles in certain areas of your life and you feel stuck? If so, I can help you work through these. I support you to find your own unique voice, self esteem, overcome long-standing confidence issues and break through those repeat cycles.

Issues such as pressure at work, relationship difficulties, significant life changes, loss or bereavement may be among the many challenges and complexities life brings up. In response, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress may arise. Additionally, feelings of isolation and difficulty in finding a sense of meaning and purpose can emerge. Perhaps you are experiencing any one or a mixture of these challenges, amongst many others. You might equally want to engage in a deeper process of personal growth and change. Therapy can offer you a space to feel heard, understood, and supported to work through, process and move forward.
