Low self esteem Counselling NZ
Self-esteem is how you think and feel about yourself; this may be positive, negative or move between the two points. This usually dictates how you live your life and the decisions you make – and how you view others too.
Self esteem is linked to self confidence. Confidence is related to action, it’s a belief that you can succeed at something. So, you can be confident about one area of your life, but totally unconfident about another.
Self esteem is the value you see yourself having in the world. It is related to a broad sense of personal value or self worth. If you have high self esteem at work, you probably have it in other areas of your life too, because this is a reflection of how you see yourself.
Self-esteem is about our own relationship with ourselves and how we feel deep down about who we are.
Symptoms of low self esteem
The more positive feelings you have about yourself, the higher your self-esteem is; the more negative feelings you have the lower your self-esteem is.
Symptoms of low self-esteem:
- feeling worthless
- feeling incompetent and unrealistic about our abilities
- feeling unloved
- being overwhelmed with fear and negative thoughts
- being unrealistic about goals
- being drawn into destructive relationships
- fear of change
- distorted views of self and others.

I firmly believe there is hope in almost all difficult situations, and that positive change is within each individual’s power.

I offer non-judgemental and effective counselling and coaching, helping you gain insights and teaching you the skills to help you deal with what you are facing.

I am so excited to share my story and mission with you. It is my background combined with my experiences that bring me here today.
I have been a holistic practitioner for many years now and have had so much satisfaction in guiding many beautiful souls on their journey to health and healing.

I help people navigate life’s challenges, who think being unhappy must be the way it is, are often at their wits end, and have tried “everything”.
Specialty areas include: Virtual Gastric Band, The Fertile Body Method and HypnoFertility, Menopause Relief, Overcoming Sugar Addiction, Relaxation Therapy and Training.
I have helped people with a wide range of presenting issues including anxiety, low self esteem, panic attacks, stress, pain management, recurrent headaches and migraines.
