Low Self Esteem Counselling

Low self esteem can mean debilitating thoughts and assumptions about yourself. You feel constant negative messages about how others perceive you. These messages are deeply embedded and seem impossible to remove.

This can leave you feeling worthless and with low self confidence. When you meet new people or start a new job you may not  believe you are likeable or talented. Many find it difficult to accept and be proud of the person they are. Without realising they may have found strategies to make life work and feel more comfortable. But all the time suffering from this uncertainty inside.

– How your past affects you

The circumstances of your past and present life can be significant in how you now feel. If you received unhelpful negative messages in the past that created this lack of self esteem your current environment may perpetuate those assumptions. You may have found that you have been prone to bullying, that you feel insignificant and that compliments and praise for and about you are difficult to accept and believe.
