How we value ourselves can affect our self esteem.
If we feel negative and critical about ourselves and our abilities then we will experience low self esteem.
Low self esteem can affect how we fit in the world, how we feel with family, friends and relationships and how this impacts on us. It could spring from our childhood or adult experiences, school and friendship influences or our partners. We can sometimes feel inadequate or be made to feel inadequate by those around us and even by social media and current socio-environmental expectations.
Working with a counsellor enables you to explore where some of these influences have stemmed from. Acknowledging, accepting and moving through these feelings and looking at changing the negative inner voice, can help build your confidence and 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.

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.

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.

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
Low self-esteem often develops through early life experiences, relationships, or messages that lead us to question our value. Through trauma-informed coaching, we explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, bringing awareness to the patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we work to build self-compassion, challenge limiting beliefs, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and develop a sense of confidence that comes from self-acceptance rather than external validation.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for low self-esteem and issues related to self-worth, including persistent self-criticism, feelings of inadequacy, shame, and difficulty recognising or trusting your own value. Many people I work with struggle with an internal sense of not being “enough,” which can affect relationships, decision-making, boundaries, and overall emotional wellbeing.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, providing a safe and reflective space to explore how these beliefs about the self may have developed over time. Together, we may look at early attachment experiences, relational dynamics, and internalised messages that have shaped how you see yourself and relate to others.
I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising how experiences such as emotional neglect, criticism, rejection, or relational trauma can contribute to ongoing difficulties with self-esteem. Therapy offers a space to gently explore and begin to shift these patterns, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
I also integrate somatic awareness to help you notice how self-critical beliefs and emotions are held in the body, supporting greater grounding and self-regulation. Psychoeducation may be used to deepen understanding of these processes, and where appropriate, I may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional processing and reduce intensity of self-critical states.
Therapy is collaborative and focused on developing a more compassionate, stable, and realistic sense of self, supporting you to relate to yourself with greater acceptance, confidence, and ease over time.

London's scale, pace, and cost of living create a high-pressure environment where therapists are in strong demand for burnout, anxiety, work-life imbalance, and the social isolation that can accompany life in a global megacity. The city's extraordinary diversity means therapists with cross-cultural competence and multilingual capability are particularly sought after, especially for communities navigating immigration stress, identity, and belonging. The NHS offers mental health services through its IAPT programme, though many Londoners seek private therapy for greater continuity of care and therapist choice. London's therapy community is one of the largest and most professionally diverse in the world, with practitioners trained across psychodynamic, CBT, integrative, and humanistic traditions.
