What low self-esteem feels like

Low self-esteem affects more than just your inner voice — it shapes how you relate to others, handle challenges, and see your place in the world. You might find it hard to speak up, trust your decisions, or feel comfortable in your own skin. These patterns often run deep — but with the right support, they can be unlearned.

You might notice:

  • Constant self-criticism or feeling like you’re never good enough

  • Avoiding challenges or doubting your ability to succeed

  • Comparing yourself to others and feeling like you don’t measure up

  • Struggling to accept compliments, set boundaries, or speak up for yourself

  • Relying on approval from others to feel valued or confident

Self-esteem counselling can help you understand where these feelings come from — and gently support you as you begin to build confidence and a more compassionate view of yourself.

How self-esteem therapy can help

Low self-esteem often develops gradually — shaped by early experiences, criticism, or relationships that made you doubt your worth.

But those beliefs aren’t permanent. With self-esteem therapy, confidence counselling, and practical tools, change is possible.

Here's how self-esteem therapy can support you:

Understand the root causes of your low self-esteem - from early criticism to unmet emotional needs.

Gently challenge the inner voice that tells you you’re not good enough.

Build self-compassion and a more balanced view of who you are.

Develop tools and strategies to build confidence and feel more grounded in your daily life.

Whether you’re exploring therapy for self-esteem or confidence counselling, the work is about meeting yourself with kindness — and finding new ways to relate to who you are.

Together, we’ll work to quiet the inner critic - and strengthen your sense of self.

FAQs about self-esteem therapy

Find answers to common questions about self-esteem and how we might work together.

What is self-esteem therapy — and how can it build confidence?

Self-esteem therapy helps you understand where low self-worth comes from, how it shows up in your life, and what you can do to shift it. The goal is to feel more grounded in who you are and more confident in daily life.

Is therapy for self-esteem or confidence right for me?

If you often doubt yourself, struggle with negative thoughts, or feel like you’re never “good enough,” therapy can help. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on and start to shift the patterns that hold you back.

Do you offer online therapy for low self-esteem or confidence?

Yes - I offer self-esteem therapy online as well as in person in Wexford. Online sessions are just as effective and can be a great option if you’re outside the area or prefer the comfort of home.

How long does it take to see progress?

Everyone’s journey is different. Some people start to feel more confident after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.

Can therapy actually help with low self-esteem and confidence?

Yes -  confidence isn’t something you’re just born with. It can be built. In self-esteem therapy, we work on the thoughts, experiences, and beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself - and start to change them.

I find it hard to open up — can therapy for self-esteem help?

That’s completely normal. Many people with low self-esteem feel nervous about opening up. There’s no pressure to share everything at once -  we’ll take things step by step, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Is low self-esteem the same as anxiety or depression?

They’re different, but often connected. Low self-esteem can contribute to anxiety or depression - and vice versa. Therapy can help untangle what’s going on underneath.

You deserve to feel confident in yourself and your life. Whether you’re exploring therapy for low self-esteem or seeking help with confidence, I offer a supportive, tailored space to start that journey.
