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?

Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
In modern life, we often feel that self-esteem is something that comes from our achievements, successes and how we are perceived by others. We often fall into the trap of believing that other people are the cause of our low self-esteem. However, self-esteem flows from the inside-out. What this means is that as we get back in touch with who we really are and allow ourselves to flow from that space our self-esteem naturally begins to increase.

Daniel Sherman | Psychotherapeutic Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACCPH - Member Accredited Counsellors Coaches Psychotherapists & Hypnotherapists
Self esteem issues are deeply personal & can be incredibly debilitating. How we 'feel' about ourselves is key to balance & happiness. So having low self esteem is therefore, very difficult to live with. I have many years of helping people see themselves differently to the internal image they originally had & that was hampering them. Change can be made & together we can shift those negative thought patterns & stuck beliefs.

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.

Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Our sense of self-worth underpins everything we do and all decisions we make. I love the description of self-esteem as "the ability to like yourself when you lose, just as much as when you win". Few of us have ever done anything so truly awful to merit the level of self-loathing that some people place on themselves. Why limit yourself, your opportunities and your time in this world because of low self-esteem when we are all equally worthy of love and respect simply for being, regardless of achievements, success, looks, weight or whatever else you base your self-esteem on.
