Self Esteem
Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Our sense of self-worth underpins everything we do and all decisions we make. I love the description of self-esteem as "the ability to like yourself when you lose, just as much as when you win". Few of us have ever done anything so truly awful to merit the level of self-loathing that some people place on themselves. Why limit yourself, your opportunities and your time in this world because of low self-esteem when we are all equally worthy of love and respect simply for being, regardless of achievements, success, looks, weight or whatever else you base your self-esteem on.

Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
Many life events or experiences can trigger and contribute to low self-esteem. Low self-esteem can also be a symptom of mental health issues. I can work with you to develop your self-worth and self-esteem (low self-worth and self-esteem can go hand in hand). As a person-centred counsellor, I'll work to help you feel part of a safe, trusting and supportive relationship. I can offer a non-judgmental and compassionate space to explore your thoughts and feelings, as well as any underlying experiences that may be affecting how you see yourself, such as bullying, sexual or domestic abuse, body image issues, ill health, disability or relationship problems. If you'd like to explore counselling together, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.

Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
In modern life, we often feel that self-esteem is something that comes from our achievements, successes and how we are perceived by others. We often fall into the trap of believing that other people are the cause of our low self-esteem. However, self-esteem flows from the inside-out. What this means is that as we get back in touch with who we really are and allow ourselves to flow from that space our self-esteem naturally begins to increase.

Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
How we value ourselves can affect our self esteem.
If we feel negative and critical about ourselves and our abilities then we will experience low self esteem.
Low self esteem can affect how we fit in the world, how we feel with family, friends and relationships and how this impacts on us. It could spring from our childhood or adult experiences, school and friendship influences or our partners. We can sometimes feel inadequate or be made to feel inadequate by those around us and even by social media and current socio-environmental expectations.
Working with a counsellor enables you to explore where some of these influences have stemmed from. Acknowledging, accepting and moving through these feelings and looking at changing the negative inner voice, can help build your confidence and self esteem.
