Self Esteem
Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Low self-esteem is often rooted in the stories we have come to believe about ourselves. You may question your worth, minimize your needs, seek approval from others, or feel like you have to earn love and acceptance. These patterns can affect your relationships, decisions, and overall well-being.
Together, we'll identify the beliefs that no longer serve you, reconnect with your strengths and values, and build a stronger foundation of self-worth. As your self-trust grows, so does your ability to set healthy boundaries, communicate with confidence, and make choices that reflect the person you truly are.

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.

Luq Adejumo
Registered Psychotherapist, MUKCP, MBACP
A key focus of my work is help my clients find a better way to relate to themselves. I believe that the expectations and conditions that family, friends and society put on us can directly affect our ability to tap into who we really are and what we want from our lives. I work with my clients to engage with their inner expertise with a view to having a better relationship with themselves.
