Self Esteem
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.

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.

Self esteem is the core of our well being. We often lose it through life experience but we can regain it. I find EMDR particularly helpful in developing greater Self esteem

Are you struggling with the idea that you should be happy and believe that you are important? Do you blame yourself for negative actions that have happened in the past? Low self-esteem can affect your ability to make decisions and manage your life. It can also prevent you from moving on from negative experiences. This is why it's important that you identify the root cause of your low self-esteem and develop strategies to improve it.

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.
