For some people 1-2-1 counselling is not a solution, as they don't want to have the focus on them. It may be that a road to recovery might be just being part of a group of people with similar experiences, who have empathy and offer support, along with a place to belong. It may be that as well as 1-2-1 you want a holistic approach hearing about others experiences as well as privately talking through your own. Or you may want to help others by sharing your journey. All of these scenarios are why I have created my self esteem groups, in two different age groups.

For people 19+ who would benefit from a group setting to process issues, learn coping techniques and share healing. Self-esteem group counselling for adults offers a supportive space where individuals can share experiences, build confidence, and learn healthier ways of thinking about themselves. By hearing others’ stories and practicing new skills together, participants often feel less alone and more motivated to grow. Group exercises help challenge negative self-beliefs, strengthen communication skills, and foster a sense of belonging. Over time, this collaborative environment can lead to greater self-acceptance, resilience, and improved overall well-being.

Self-esteem group counselling for girls aged 13 and older provides a safe, encouraging environment to explore feelings, build confidence, and develop a strong sense of identity.
Sharing experiences with peers helps reduce isolation and normalizes common challenges faced during adolescence. Through guided discussions and activities, participants learn positive self-talk, healthy coping skills, and ways to navigate social pressures. The group setting also strengthens communication and friendship-building skills, supporting girls as they grow into more resilient, self-assured young people.
Being able to talk to others who have had similar life experiences under the guidance of Melanie has been invaluable. To know I am not alone in my feelings and triggers has helped me make sense of how I react to things. I have also made friends with people who see me for who I am.
