Self-esteem refers to how you see yourself and your worth. When you have low self-esteem, you often struggle with negative thoughts about yourself, doubting your abilities, low self confidence and feeling undeserving of success or happiness. This can create a cycle of self-criticism, making it difficult to lead a fulfilling and confident life.
Struggle with constant self-criticism or negative self-talk.
You often judge yourself harshly, feel like you're never good enough, or find it difficult to recognise your strengths. Therapy can help challenge unhelpful beliefs and develop a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself.
Avoid opportunities due to fear of failure or rejection. Low self-confidence may stop you from speaking up, trying new things, or pursuing goals. CBT and EMDR can help you understand where these fears come from and support you to build confidence in everyday life.
Rely heavily on others for reassurance or approval. If your self-worth depends on what others think of you, it can feel exhausting and unstable. Therapy offers space to explore these patterns and strengthen your internal sense of value and identity.
Feel held back by past experiences or ongoing shame. Low self-esteem is often linked to difficult past events, such as bullying, criticism, or trauma. Therapy can help you process these experiences and begin to rebuild a healthier relationship with yourself.
