Low Self-Esteem

What Is Low Self-Esteem?

Low self-esteem can affect how you see yourself, your abilities and your worth. You may be highly self-critical, doubt yourself, compare yourself to others or find it difficult to accept compliments and recognise your strengths.

These feelings can develop through difficult experiences, relationships, criticism or messages received earlier in life. Over time, they may affect your confidence, relationships, decisions and emotional wellbeing.

Can Counselling Help with Low Self-Esteem?

Yes. Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore where negative beliefs about yourself may have come from and how they continue to affect you.

Your therapist can help you recognise unhelpful patterns, develop greater self-compassion and begin to build a more balanced and confident sense of yourself.
