Self-esteem issues arise when you have a negative or low perception of yourself. People with low self-esteem often struggle with feelings of worthlessness, self-doubt, and insecurity, which can affect their mental health and relationships.

Therapy helps identify the root causes of low self-esteem, such as past experiences, negative self-talk, or societal pressures. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and other evidence-based approaches, you can learn to build self-confidence, develop a healthier self-image, and improve your overall well-being.

Common signs include constantly doubting your abilities, focusing on flaws, avoiding challenges due to fear of failure, negative self-talk, constant negative beliefs about yourself and difficulty accepting compliments. These patterns can lead to anxiety, depression, or social withdrawal.

The length of therapy depends on the individual and the severity of the self-esteem issues. Some clients may see improvements within a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy to address deeply rooted beliefs and behaviors.

Low self-esteem can stem from various factors, such as childhood experiences, criticism or bullying, trauma, social comparison, or unrealistic expectations. Therapy helps you understand and work through these influences to rebuild self-worth.
