Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Low self-worth is often experienced as a belief - something to be challenged, reframed, or worked on. In practice, it tends to live deeper than that: in the body's habitual posture, in the contraction that happens before speaking in a group, in the felt sense of taking up too much or too little space. This work reaches those layers and creates the conditions for a different experience of yourself to emerge - not as an idea, but as something your body actually registers as true.

Georgie Gee
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
I think it is helpful to work on an individuals relationship to the self and how one can have misconceptions about how you are seen in the world and how to develop a better appreciation and understanding of the self. If you feel rejected or marginalized by society do you continue to put yourself down or do we learn how to engage in a different kinder relationship with the self? This is the premise that I try to develop in my work.

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.

I hear the struggle you're facing with self-doubt and its impact on your life. It's heartbreaking to feel like you're not reaching your full potential due to a lack of self-confidence. This can affect every area of your life, from personal relationships to professional achievements and social interactions.
