Self-esteem & Self-worth

If you have low self-esteem, you may view life in a negative way which makes things seem hopeless or pointless. You might think you are worthless, and that other people are better than you. You may have difficulty saying what you really feel, or you may lack the confidence to be assertive. As a result, you may feel that people take advantage of you and treat you badly. Therapy can help you explore the way you feel and change your view of yourself and others.

Self-esteem is how we value ourselves. We may feel positive and confident in our own abilities and our lives, or negative and critical.

It can influence many aspects of our lives, including work and relationships with family and friends.People often want a counsellor to help them boost their lack of self-esteem and explore with them how to build their confidence.Or sometimes people go to see a therapist to seek support for another problem, and it emerges during therapy that the underlying issue is their low self-esteem.
