What is Self Esteem?
Self esteem is the way you think and feel about yourself. It influences your decisions, relationships, career growth, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life.
Healthy self esteem allows you to:
- Accept your strengths and weaknesses
- Express your opinions confidently
- Handle criticism without feeling defeated
- Build healthy relationships
- Take healthy risks and embrace opportunities
Low self esteem can make even simple situations feel overwhelming.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have low self esteem?
If you constantly doubt yourself, avoid opportunities, fear criticism, compare yourself with others, or rely heavily on external validation, counselling can help you understand and improve your self esteem.
Can counselling really improve confidence?
Yes. Confidence improves when the underlying beliefs, emotional experiences, and thought patterns causing self doubt are addressed through professional psychological interventions.
How many counselling sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your concerns, personal goals, and progress. Some people notice improvement within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer support.
Is low self esteem related to anxiety?
Often, yes. Many individuals experiencing anxiety also struggle with low confidence and fear of failure. Addressing both together usually leads to better outcomes.
