Boost Your Self-Esteem – Build Confidence and Embrace Your Worth.
Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy or doubt? Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Do doubts and negative self-talk hold you back from pursuing your goals?
Low self-esteem is a common challenge, but it doesn’t have to define you. We can help you build confidence, embrace your worth, and live a more fulfilling life.
With Self-Esteem Counselling at Skills4LifePsychology, we understand how critical your self-esteem and confidence are to your overall psychological wellbeing. We are here to help guide you through the complex journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Here are some signs you might be struggling with low self-esteem:
Do you frequently self-criticising, blaming, and putting yourself down, even if there is evidence to the contrary?
Do you compare yourself to others and always feel like you come up short?
Do you avoid challenges or opportunities for fear of failure?
Do you struggle to accept compliments or praise?
Are you highly self-conscious?
Do you find yourself withdrawing from social situations due to feeling insecure?
Have a pessimistic view on life?
Do you feel depressed, guilty, or ashamed
Feelings of loneliness or being misunderstood by others
Sensitivity to criticism, taking comments more personally than intended
Reluctance to express your needs or set boundaries
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone. It is important to remember that these judgments we make about ourselves are opinions and not facts. Low self-esteem is a common challenge, but it doesn’t have to define you. Each of these feelings can be a sign that it’s time to explore ways to bolster your self-esteem.
Understanding Self-Esteem:
Self-esteem is how we value, perceive, and feel about ourselves. Low self-esteem can impact various aspects of our lives, including our relationships, career, and overall happiness. It’s important to remember that negative self-beliefs are often learned patterns and are not always based on reality.
Low self-esteem and confidence can stem from various life stages and experiences, notably during adolescence or times of significant stress. It’s crucial to recognise that the negative judgments we hold about ourselves are not reflections of reality but rather perceptions that can be challenged and changed.
