Self-Esteem & Confidence Issues
Low self-esteem and confidence issues involve persistent negative beliefs about yourself and your abilities. This can affect relationships, work, and overall wellbeing, leading to self-doubt, avoidance of challenges, and fear of failure.
What do self-esteem & confidence issues feel like?
You may experience negative self-talk, difficulty accepting compliments, comparing yourself unfavourably to others, and feeling unworthy of happiness or success. These feelings can lead to anxiety, shame, or reluctance to try new thing.
How to overcome self-esteem & confidence issues with therapy
Therapy, especially cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop self-compassion, and build confidence through achievable goals. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can also help you accept and distance yourself from unhelpful thoughts.
Through self-esteem counselling, you can:
Recognise and change negative self-beliefs
Build self-acceptance and resilience
Develop practical confidence-building strategies
Improve relationships and assertiveness
Step-by-step guide to managing self-esteem & confidence issues
Identify triggers: Notice situations that lower your self-esteem.
Challenge negative thoughts: Question the truth and logic behind self-criticism.
Practise self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding.
Set achievable goals: Build confidence by accomplishing small, realistic tasks.
Seek support: Work with a therapist or join a support group.
