LOW SELF-ESTEEM PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELLING ONLINE

Struggling with self-esteem is increasingly common, and it can have a profound impact on your quality of life. Speaking with a qualified therapist can help you understand where these feelings come from, rebuild your confidence, and change how you see yourself.

What is Self-Esteem?

Self-esteem is the opinion we hold of ourselves. Everyone experiences times of self-doubt, but when low self-esteem becomes long-term, it can harm both your mental health and daily life.

With healthy self-esteem, you feel more positive about yourself and life in general, making it easier to face challenges. When self-esteem is low, you’re more likely to view yourself critically, avoid risks or new experiences, and withdraw from social situations.

Living with low self-esteem can contribute to:

• Anxiety and depression
• Loneliness and isolation
• Unhelpful coping habits such as smoking, drinking, or overworking
• Difficulty pursuing opportunities or relationships

What Causes Low Self-Esteem?

Low self-esteem often develops in childhood through repeated criticism, unrealistic expectations, or a lack of support and encouragement. Messages from parents, teachers, siblings, peers, or even the media can reinforce the idea that you’re “not good enough.”

It can also develop later in life, triggered by:

• Stressful or traumatic events
• Illness or bereavement
• Experiences of failure or rejection
• Personality traits, such as perfectionism or tendencies toward negative thinking

Over time, these experiences shape how you see yourself and can make it difficult to believe you are capable, worthy, and deserving of good things.

How Can Online Therapy Help?

Talking therapy is highly effective in treating low self-esteem. Together, we will:

• Explore the root causes of your self-critical beliefs
• Identify your real strengths and values
• Challenge unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck
• Build new habits and ways of thinking that foster confidence
• Develop resilience to handle future setbacks more positively

Over time, you’ll start to feel stronger, more self-assured, and able to take ownership of your life with greater confidence.
