Low Self-Esteem Counselling

Self-esteem is the way we perceive and value ourselves; essentially, it’s the opinion we hold of ourselves. This can be influenced by lots of different things, from past experiences and our childhoods to life events. While these beliefs can be misplaced, they can feel very difficult to change.

The Adlerian Theory is designed to alleviate low self-esteem.

The Adlerian theory is the forerunner of the humanistic therapy approach in the nineteen twenties.

Adler saw the individual as a whole, and he was the first to break away from categorising the individual. He treated each person as a person who is unique as a whole person. The humanistic movement was born.

The Adlerian theory is designed to alleviate low self-esteem.

Typical Symptoms

There are a number of different signs that you could have low self-esteem. You might exhibit some or all of these. They can include (but aren’t limited to):

Saying or thinking negative things about yourself
Being self-critical
Feelings of sadness, depression, anger, anxiety, shame or worthlessness
Blaming yourself for things that go wrong (even if they are out of your control)

Repeatedly joking about yourself in a negative way
Ignoring your achievements in favour of focusing on your mistakes or self-perceived negatives
Avoiding challenges due to fear of failure
Believing others are better than you

Thinking you don’t deserve to have nice things or fun experiences
Refusing to accept compliments
Feeling overly upset by any criticism, disapproval, or negative feedback

When is the right time to seek help?

Building self-esteem and navigating the mental health implications can be difficult to do alone. Working with our counsellors can help you understand where your opinion of yourself stems from and how to challenge limiting beliefs.

Developing more awareness of your personal history and how this impacts who you are today can be eye-opening.

What our clients say.

” Rainer was a great help in listening to what I had to say, and then, gradually, his comments and prompts guided me to a fair amount of self reflection which helped me to realise that there are always other angles and perspectives to our ‘problems’, and that it was within me, myself, to reflect on and identify and choose to adjust my approach to things and choose ‘positive’ options rather than negative ones that may have become bad habits, which we have probably developed from a ‘tunnelled vision’ perspective. All of this has helped me to get less anxious and stressed with ‘life situations’ and to manage them in a more positive way. “
