Counselling
Counselling for low self-esteem
The inner critic that runs the diary — Katie Green on confidence work that is not a pep talk.
What this can look like
Saying yes until you disappear. Replaying a sentence for days. Choosing partners, jobs or friendships that confirm the worst story about you.
How counselling can help
We slow the critic down enough to hear where it was learned. Integrative work can include how you think and how you feel in the body. It is not a weekend of affirmations. A free 30-minute call comes first so you can decide if my way of talking fits.
When it is more than counselling
If the critic is accompanied by not eating, not sleeping, or not wanting to be here, involve your GP. Therapy is one strand.
