Self Esteem
Audra McKellar
Counsellor/Therapist, MNCS (accred), Prof.Dip.Psy.C, SMACCPH
Do you struggle to believe that you matter, that you deserve to be happy? Are you reluctant to assert yourself and make decisions, do you struggle to move on from mistakes and blame yourself for negative things that happen? Having low self-esteem can affect you in every part of your life but it doesn't have to be like that forever. I can help you work out why your self-esteem is low and then we can work on strategies with tools to make it better.

Self Esteem
Mihaela Nicolaescu
Registered Psychotherapist
Self-esteem issues are often deeply rooted in past experiences, such as childhood criticism, trauma, abuse, or negative social comparisons. We begin by exploring the origins of these beliefs, identifying patterns of negative self-talk, and understanding how they developed. This can involve discussing early relationships, family dynamics, or significant life events that shaped the client’s view of themselves.
A major component of self-esteem work is fostering self-compassion and self-acceptance. Often, clients with low self-esteem are overly self-critical and harsh. I guide them through exercises that help shift their internal dialogue toward kindness and empathy, much like they would offer to a close friend. Techniques like mindfulness or compassion-focused therapy help develop this skill.

Self Esteem
Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
We all relate to ourselves in varied and sometimes fluctuating ways - sometimes critically and harshly, other times in more gente and forgiving ways. This relationship is influenced by past and current experiences and what we have 'taken in' from those (especially with caregivers and other important people in our lives). A punitive, demeaning stance to one's own self, which has been there for a long time and is hard to shift, is what brings many people to therapy. Both because of the suffering it inflicts internally, as well as the impact it has on the way a person relates to the external world.
If this is something you struggle with and would like to explore the option of psychotherapy to address this, please get in touch.

Self Esteem
Ulrike Nau-Debor
Psychologist, CPsychol, AFBPsS, HCPC registered
In my experience, self-esteem is closely linked to the limiting beliefs we hold, often formed in childhood. We tend to think we need to wait until we feel confident to take action and assume everyone else is already confident. This isn't true. We also tend to compare our worst selves to others' best versions of themselves. Together, we will address your inner critic, which mistakenly believes that criticizing you is keeping you safe. This is not true. We build self-esteem by addressing our limiting beliefs and assumptions, changing how we relate to ourselves, and by doing the things we are scared of but long to do.

Self Esteem
Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
All of us are a unique combination of things we do well, and things we do not do well. People with low self-esteem have a flawed understanding of themselves. My objective in psychological counselling is to help my clients engage in a realistic appraisal of their strengths and weaknesses, and truly celebrate themselves. Many of us have endured experiences sometimes at the hands of family and/or at the hands of peers that have damaged our ability to achieve an objective understanding of what we do well. I believe the goal of counselling is to correct this.
