Self-Esteem Counselling London

What is Self-Esteem?

Self-esteem is the opinion that you have about yourself. It is something that tends to fluctuate and most people experience moments of low self-esteem, at some point in life. This can be a perfectly normal response to external events, from time to time.

However, when low self-esteem becomes a long-term habit, it can harm your relationships with others, kill your confidence, stunt your ability to assert yourself and feed a cycle of increasing frustration and unhappiness. In fact, research has shown a correlation between low self-esteem and depression.

Benefits of Counselling for Low Self-Esteem

For many people, the biggest benefit of counselling for low self-esteem, is gaining the ability to live their lives with a stronger feeling of freedom and confidence, to be who they truly are. Here are a few of the other benefits KlearMinds self-esteem counselling can help you bring about:

  • Discover how to become more assertive.
  • Learn how to create more balanced, mutually respectful and satisfying relationships
  • Discover how you can feel confident enough to achieve what you want in life.
  • Gain a deeper understanding of yourself and what makes you happiest.
  • Discover how certain behaviours, feelings, and thoughts that are contributing to your low opinion of yourself.
  • Uncover the root causes of your low sense of self-worth and how to address them.
  • Learn how to improve your self-image and reduce self-doubt.
  • Experience a significant decrease anxiety levels.

Issues That Self-Esteem Therapy Can Help With

  • Being drawn into unhealthy or destructive relationships
  • Low levels of confidence in areas including career and relationships

Overcoming Career Anxiety & Work Stress
I had never thought I was someone who would need counselling or therapy, as I had always been very strong. However when my career wasn’t going quite as I had planned it, I found I was becoming very negative and mentally spiralling out of control – in fact turning myself into a victim. Maggie was outstanding at providing me with what I needed, not as a “quick fix” but by giving me the tools to use whenever I may need… Read More

Empower Yourself – Building Self Confidence
Before meeting with Maggie, I had been feeling demotivated, lacking focus and very lonely…. Counselling was something I only considered when I felt there was nothing I could do.

Maggie’s questions…helped me… I now realise… Read More
