Therapy for self-worth

When it’s hard to give yourself the same care you give other people

You might brush off a compliment, apologize before asking for something, or replay one awkward moment long after everyone else has moved on. We can get curious about where those habits came from, what they’ve helped you get through, and how you want to respond to yourself now.

What we can work on together

• Notice how self-criticism shows up in ordinary moments and what tends to set it off.

• Get clearer on your preferences and needs, especially when someone else wants something different.

• Practise responding to a mistake or disappointment in a way that feels honest and fair to you.

What if talking about myself feels uncomfortable?

We can begin with a situation you remember well, like saying yes when you needed time to think. You decide what you’re ready to share, and we can work from there.

If self-criticism tends to show up around work, achievement, or rest, you can also explore therapy for perfectionism and burnout.
