← What we help with

Self-esteem

For the voice that says you’re not good enough, however much you do.

What it can feel like

Putting yourself down before anyone else can. Finding compliments hard to hear. Working twice as hard to feel half as good. Low self-esteem often goes back a long way, so it can feel like just who you are.

How talking can help

Counselling helps you notice the critical voice and where it learned its lines. Over time, many people find they can treat themselves with a little more of the kindness they give to others.

What sessions are like

Megan uses CBT exercises if you’d like something structured. Helen works in a more open, exploratory way. Both are fine, and you can change your mind.

Talk it through first
