What is Self-Esteem and Identity?

Self-esteem refers to the value and respect one holds for oneself, while identity encompasses how individuals perceive and define themselves in the world. Together, they shape how people understand their worth, capabilities, and place in society. Healthy self-esteem and a clear sense of identity are essential for emotional wellbeing and personal development, influencing confidence, decision-making, and relationships.

Why it Helps

Working on self-esteem and identity helps individuals overcome self-doubt, negative self-perceptions, and confusion about who they are. Therapy in this area supports building a positive self-view and stronger personal identity, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and improve overall mental health. It empowers clients to live authentically and make choices aligned with their values.

What is Self-Esteem Counselling?

Self-esteem counselling is a therapeutic approach focused on helping individuals build a healthier, more positive view of themselves. It addresses issues such as self-doubt, negative self-talk, and feelings of inadequacy. Through supportive dialogue and practical strategies, self-esteem counselling aims to empower people to recognise their strengths and develop confidence, improving overall mental and emotional wellbeing.

Why it Helps

Low self-esteem can affect many areas of life, including relationships, work, and personal happiness. Counselling provides a safe space to explore the root causes of negative self-beliefs and challenges these perceptions. By fostering self-compassion and resilience, clients are better equipped to face daily stresses, set healthy boundaries, and pursue goals with confidence.

What is Self-Harm Counselling?

Self-harm counselling is a specialised therapeutic service aimed at helping individuals who engage in self-injury behaviours. It provides a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore the underlying emotional pain, stress, or trauma that leads to self-harm. The goal is to develop healthier coping strategies, reduce harmful behaviours, and promote emotional healing and resilience.

Why it Helps

Self-harm often serves as a way to manage overwhelming emotions or express distress when other forms of communication feel unavailable. Counselling helps by addressing these emotional struggles, reducing shame, and teaching alternative coping mechanisms. This support can break the cycle of self-injury and improve overall mental health, fostering hope and recovery.

What is Social Skills Training?

Social Skills Training (SST) is a structured therapeutic approach designed to help individuals improve their interpersonal communication and relationship-building abilities. It focuses on teaching practical skills such as listening, assertiveness, empathy, and conflict resolution to enhance social interactions. SST is commonly used for people facing difficulties in social settings, including those with social anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, or other challenges affecting communication and social confidence.

Why it Helps

Effective social skills are vital for personal and professional success. Social Skills Training helps individuals overcome barriers such as anxiety, awkwardness, or misunderstandings in social situations. By learning and practising these skills in a supportive environment, clients can build confidence, form meaningful relationships, and reduce feelings of isolation or frustration.

What is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)?

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented therapeutic approach that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. Instead of exploring past issues in depth, SFBT focuses on what is working in your life and how to build on those strengths to create positive change. This approach is collaborative, empowering, and designed to help clients achieve measurable outcomes within a relatively short period of time.

Why it Helps

SFBT helps by shifting the focus away from problems and toward solutions. This change in perspective encourages clients to recognize their existing resources, strengths, and past successes. By identifying what works, even in small doses, individuals gain confidence and motivation to move forward. The structured, future-focused nature of SFBT makes it especially effective for those seeking efficient, actionable support.

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic Therapy is a holistic form of therapy that connects the mind and body to address psychological and emotional challenges. It focuses on bodily sensations and movements to help individuals release trauma, stress, and tension stored in the body. By integrating physical awareness with traditional talk therapy, Somatic Therapy supports healing on a deeper level, promoting overall well-being and emotional balance.

Why it Helps

Many emotional difficulties manifest physically as muscle tension, pain, or anxiety. Somatic Therapy helps by tuning into the body’s signals and releasing stored stress, which can improve mental health. It fosters self-awareness and empowers individuals to regain control over their emotional responses, leading to greater resilience and inner peace.
