Understanding self esteem
Personal growth is a lifelong journey of becoming the best version of yourself. It’s about developing self-awareness, building on your strengths, addressing areas for improvement, and creating a life that feels meaningful and authentic to who you are. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or simply wanting to reach your full potential, personal growth and development work can help you create positive change and build the life you truly want.
Areas of Personal Growth & Development
Personal growth encompasses many different aspects of your life and self:
- Self-awareness including understanding your values, beliefs, and motivations
- Emotional intelligence and the ability to manage emotions effectively
- Relationship skills for deeper connections and healthier boundaries
- Communication abilities to express yourself authentically and clearly
- Confidence and self-esteem building a strong, positive sense of self
- Goal setting and achievement turning dreams into actionable plans
- Stress management and resilience-building for life’s challenges
- Leadership skills whether in formal roles or personal situations
- Creativity and innovation tapping into your unique talents and perspectives
- Mindfulness and present-moment awareness for greater life satisfaction
- Career development aligning your work with your values and strengths
- Life transitions navigating changes with grace and intentionality
Personal development is highly individual—what growth looks like for you may be different from others.

Freqeuently asked questions

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist at Seed Psychology. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With a MHCP, you may be eligible for rebates on up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be used at any psychology clinic of your choice. To access Medicare psychology rebates, book an appointment with your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan. Most referrals begin with 6 sessions, with the option to access 4 more after a review. Referrals can also be provided by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
