I welcome you to my site which is the result of lots of hard work and much careful thought! The aim of this site is to provide you, my guest, with helpful information, articles, tips, courses and recommended products which will enable you to improve your self esteem and confidence. This website is really a labour of love. My motive is simple. I am trying to do something positive and helpful in the hope that you may benefit from what I have learned about dealing with low self esteem and confidence. I write the majority of information you find here from many years of personal experience and have designed the site which I hope allows you to find what you are looking for easily. Please contact me and tell me what you think and what needs to be improved and I will do my best to correct or modify according to your suggestions.

Over the years I have received many comments, (happily mostly positive!), and always welcome feedback from you about the website and its content. To read some of those comments click here

Who am I? - thought you'd like to know!

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am English but since 1994 I have been living in Izmir (Western Turkey) and am married with two children Daniel 15 and Ebru 23. My son Daniel also has a keen interest in computers and one day I hope he will help me out in running this site. I have worked in Electronics, Sales and now Teaching. I am not a mental health professional or doctor just someone with a lot of life experience to share. I have been asked to elaborate on my life experience, so here goes...

I have lived in Australia, England, Italy and Turkey and moved around a lot especially when I was 5-11 years old. This created a number

of problems even at that young age. I speak Italian, Spanish and Turkish. I have overcome low self esteem, inferiority, depression and much more in my life and as a result of my experiences felt that I could help others overcome and defeat these debilitating problems. In 1994 I moved to Turkey from England having married two years earlier with a five month old baby boy. That year I also took my final exams at University. The culture shock I have faced and change in lifestyle have presented real challenges and difficulties.

Life constantly provides you with opportunities to improve yourself and I believe that problems such as self esteem and lack of confidence are at the heart of your ability to help yourself grow. Everyone needs help and I hope that this website can help you take steps to help yourself by offering you the information you need to decide what to do next.
