Low self-esteem is a common mental health issue that affects people of all ages. Low self-esteem occurs when people develop negative beliefs about themselves and their abilities, leading to feelings of worthlessness, guilt, and shame. Low self-esteem can be a root cause of anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems that affect people in daily life. So we can take a look at the route of the low self-esteem via talks about the past and perhaps challenging some of these long held beliefs. Other clients have told me they didn't want to do that. They preferred to look forward, set goals and strive toward that. They have mentioned that doing so have meant they have been so focused that they have left their issues behind and like to keep pushing on forward. This illustrates well 2 points. The first is that you choose the way you would like to work. And then, that no two clients are the same or would choose the same psychotherapy. You're unique and so it follows that your treatment would be unique too.

Counselling is a highly effective tool for treating low self-esteem. Counselling helps people identify and challenge negative beliefs about themselves and develop positive self-talk, building self-confidence and self-esteem. As counsellor I can provide strategies to help people manage negative emotions and develop healthy relationships. Research shows that psychotherapy can be an effective treatment for low self-esteem, with long-term benefits to mental wellness.
