Self Esteem
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with clients regarding building self esteem both in a person centred way, feeling heard and validated, as well as at times using CBT in order to reframe thoughts in order to change feelings and work towards more empowering behaviours. These behaviours in turn encourage more supportive and compassionate self talk which enables the client to feel better about themselves.

Self Esteem
Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Self-esteem is your overall subjective evaluation of your worth, value, and competence. It reflects how much you respect, appreciate, and believe in yourself. While self-confidence relates specifically to your belief in your ability to succeed in a particular task or situation, self-esteem is a deeper, foundational sense of whether you feel worthy of happiness, love, and respect just as you are.
High vs Low Self-Esteem
Healthy Self-Esteem: Involves an accurate, balanced view of yourself. You recognise your strengths while accepting your flaws and limitations without harsh judgment. It allows you to bounce back from setbacks and set healthy boundaries.
Low Self-Esteem: Involves chronic self-doubt, harsh internal criticism, and a persistent belief that you are inadequate, unlovable, or a burden. People with low self-esteem often measure their worth entirely by external achievements, others' approval, or perfection.
Common Signs of Low Self-Esteem
Habitual Comparison: Constantly comparing yourself to others and always feeling like you fall short.
Fear of Failure & Rejection: Avoiding new challenges, social gatherings, or opportunities because you assume you will fail or that people won't like you.
Difficulty Accepting Praise: Downplaying compliments or attributing your successes to luck rather than your own skill and effort.
People-Pleasing: Prioritising everyone else's needs, opinions, and comfort over your own out of fear of conflict or rejection.
Internalised Blame: Automatically blaming yourself when things go wrong, even if it was outside of your control.
Where Does Self-Esteem Come From?
Self-esteem is shaped over a lifetime by early childhood experiences (such as parenting styles, family dynamics, and peer relationships), school or work environments, major life events, and ongoing internal self-talk. Because it is learned over time, you can also unlearn and rebuild it.
Cultivating Self-Compassion
Building healthier self-esteem isn't about forced positivity or pretending you are flawless; it is about developing self-compassion—treating yourself with the same kindness, understanding, and patience you would offer to a good friend when things get difficult.
Remember: Your worth is not up for negotiation, and it does not fluctuate based on your productivity, mistakes, or other people's opinions. You are inherently worthy of care and respect simply because you exist.

Self Esteem
Julie Jenner
Counsellor/Therapist, BA(Hons), NCS Senior Accredited
Self-esteem, and confidence, can be so fragile and we can allow it to be taken from us without knowing we have a choice. If you hear a version of yourself often enough, eventually you believe it. Positive attention throughout our childhood can carry us a long way, just as unhealthy attention can be just as far reaching. We live in a society that thrusts expectation in front of us nearly constantly, and trying to live up to it can be painful and demoralising. How would you like to be able to know who you are and start living your life how you want it? Through questioning your self-beliefs, and where they come from, you can begin to feel better with who you are. By not trying to live up to standards and expectations set by others, you can find strength in doing it your way. Is low self-esteem about not being good enough, or about you trying to be somebody or something that you are not?

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.
