Self-esteem is the way you look at yourself and speak to yourself each day. It is that inner voice that can encourage you or, on the contrary, make you feel small and insecure. When self-esteem is healthy, you feel worthy, accept your imperfections and face life with confidence. But when it is low, you may find yourself doubting yourself, fearing the judgement of others, or believing you do not deserve what you long for.
Often, the roots of low self-esteem lie in past experiences: constant criticism, bullying, abandonment, dysfunctional relationships. Perhaps you have learnt to hide your true self for fear of rejection or you always feel “not good enough” even when you achieve your goals.
In therapy, we will explore the origins of these beliefs together and you will learn how to transform your inner dialogue. It is not just about repeating positive phrases, but about discovering who you truly are, recognising your worth and building a new sense of self-confidence. With patience and respect, you can regain the sense of security and well-being you deserve.
