Self Esteem
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.

Donna Mitchell
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Perhaps you have had a big knock in your self esteem or maybe it's always been shaky. I find struggles with self esteem are often linked with having a strong critical voice which doesn't truly help us. I naturally see the best in people and can work with you to be more on your own team. We can work to increase your confidence by changing how you see yourself and talk to yourself. Together we can create a more compassionate and encouraging voice towards yourself that drives you more to live the life that you want.

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?

Dr David Tilbrook
Psychologist, Chartered Clinical Psychologist Specialising in Psychotherapy with Senior Practitioner Status
Getting back on our own side, being there for our self, interested in our self, wanting good things for our self, requires undoing processes that have probably become entrenched habits of being self critical or ignoring and dismissing our self. Once we see that we have got stuck in such ways of treating our self, we can work hard together to take a stand against these processes, and reconnect with our healthy self love and care.
