Low Self‑Esteem Counselling

Low Self‑Esteem Counselling - Building Confidence Through Therapy

Low self‑esteem can affect every part of life, from how you see yourself in the mirror to how you connect with others. When you feel “not good enough,” avoid situations, or fear change, it can leave you stuck in cycles of self‑criticism and loneliness. Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore these feelings and begin building confidence step by step.

Body Image and Negative Self‑View

Many people with low self‑esteem struggle with body image and a harsh inner critic. You may find yourself:

• Comparing your appearance to others.

• Focusing on perceived flaws.

• Feeling unworthy or undeserving of care.

Counselling helps you challenge these negative self‑views and begin to see yourself with more compassion.

Feeling “Not Good Enough”

Low self‑esteem often creates a constant sense of inadequacy. You might:

• Doubt your abilities at work or in relationships.

• Avoid opportunities because of fear of failure.

• Struggle to accept compliments or achievements.

Therapy provides space to explore where these beliefs come from and how to gently shift them.

Avoidant Behaviours and Fear of Change

When self‑esteem is low, it’s common to avoid situations that feel risky or uncomfortable. Change can feel frightening, even when you long for it. Counselling supports you to:

• Understand the roots of avoidant behaviours.

• Explore fears of change in a safe environment.

• Build confidence to take small, manageable steps forward.

Loneliness and Connection

Low self‑esteem can make relationships feel difficult, leaving you isolated or lonely. Counselling offers:

• A safe space to talk openly without judgment.

• Tools to rebuild confidence in social situations.

• Support to reconnect with others in ways that feel authentic.
