Self Esteem and Identity
Who am I, really?
Am I enough?
How do I move forward when I don’t like who I see in the mirror?
These are the kinds of questions many people wrestle with — especially during seasons of stress, transition, or after difficult life experiences.
When your sense of self takes a hit, it can affect every part of your life: relationships, work, faith, motivation, and mental health. You might be stuck in patterns of self-criticism, shame, comparison, or perfectionism — constantly questioning your worth and purpose.
You don’t have to stay trapped in that cycle. Counselling can help you rebuild self-esteem, reconnect with your true identity, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Signs You May Be Struggling with Self-Esteem or Identity
You may be experiencing:
Persistent self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy
Harsh inner criticism or perfectionism
Difficulty accepting compliments or positive feedback
Comparing yourself negatively to others
Avoiding challenges or opportunities out of fear of failure
Struggling with identity questions — “Who am I now?”
Feelings of shame tied to past experiences or relationships
A disconnect between how you see yourself and how you want to live
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone — and there is a path forward.
How Counselling Can Help
At BSB Counselling, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore the roots of low self-esteem, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and start building a stronger, healthier sense of self.
Individual Therapy
In one-on-one sessions, we’ll work to identify the factors that have shaped your self-view — including past relationships, life experiences, or cultural messages. Together, we’ll develop tools and strategies to help you build self-compassion, resilience, and confidence in who you are.
Men’s Issues
Many of the men I work with share that they’ve struggled quietly with self-esteem for years — often under pressure to “have it all together” and show no weakness. If this sounds like you, counselling offers a space where you can be real, explore who you truly are, and develop practical skills to show up in life with greater authenticity and strength.
Faith-Based Counselling
For those who desire it, we can explore how your faith can provide a foundation for identity and worth — grounded not in performance or perfection, but in grace, purpose, and deeper meaning. Faith-based counselling can help you realign with values that matter most and embrace a more compassionate view of yourself.
Moving Forward
Your worth is not defined by your mistakes, your past, or other people’s opinions. You have value — and you have the ability to grow into the person you were created to be.
