Self-Esteem Counselling in Heanor
with Dr Ranjana Mitra, Counsellor at Acorn Natural Health Centre
Self-Esteem
The relationship you have with yourself can influence many areas of life, including your confidence, your choices, and the way you relate to other people at home and at work.
When self-esteem is low, it can lead to constant self-doubt and a sense that you are not good enough. Some people find themselves questioning their abilities, avoiding opportunities, or feeling overly critical of themselves.
These feelings often develop over time and may be linked to earlier experiences, expectations placed upon us, or patterns of thinking that have gradually become ingrained.
Many people also experience a gap between how they see themselves now and the person they feel they should be. When this gap feels too wide, it can lead to frustration, disappointment, and ongoing unhappiness.
Counselling offers a supportive space to explore these thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Through talking therapy, people can begin to:
• understand where their self-doubt may have developed
• recognise patterns of negative self-talk
• develop a more balanced and realistic view of themselves
• build greater confidence and self-acceptance
Over time, this process can help strengthen self-belief and allow people to approach life with greater confidence and clarity.

Hello! I am Ranjana, a trained and experienced relationship therapist, specialising in Couples Counselling.
I came into Counselling over 13 years ago,from a background in Psychology. I have trained as a Relationship Counsellor and have worked for the last decade at Relate – a charity that specialises in relationship work.
After completing my Master’s degree in Psychology, I started working with a clinical population. But I soon became more interested in the challenges that a large number of people live with, which may not be problematic enough to merit a label of an illness, but still problematic enough to make everyday life difficult. Things such as insecurities, anxieties, and low mood –can make everyday life and relationships unfulfilling. Feeling frustrated and conflicted in our relationships with family and friends can make us unhappy. Sometimes it is our lack of self- confidence and self- doubt that sabotages our relationships.
If you are not feeling good about yourself, content in your relationships, or where you are in life, it is worth making the effort to change. It is a shame to live with regrets when it is possible to be happy and fulfilled. Counselling can help you find a way to happiness.
Alongside Counselling, I also continue to work with vulnerable people – such as older people, those living with mental health challenges, physical and learning disabilities – and find it inspiring to see how people can enjoy their lives when they can work with - as opposed to– against their challenges.
