What low self-esteem feels like

Low self-esteem affects more than just how you think about yourself -  it can shape your entire experience of 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 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 learn to see yourself differently.

How self-esteem therapy can help

Low self-esteem often builds up over time - shaped by early experiences, relationships, and the quiet ways we learn to doubt ourselves. But those patterns can change.

In therapy, we’ll work together to understand where these beliefs came from, how they affect your daily life, and how to build a more compassionate and confident sense of self.

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 and what you bring.

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

Self-esteem therapy isn’t about quick fixes - it’s about making space for the parts of you that feel unworthy, and learning how to meet them with kindness.

Why work with me?

I’ve spent over 20 years helping people overcome low self-esteem and build lasting confidence - both online and in person. My approach is:

Supportive: a non-judgemental space to work through self-doubt at your own pace.

Practical: grounded tools to help you feel more confident day to day.

Personalised: therapy for self-esteem that adapts to your unique needs.

LGBTQI+ friendly: a safe, inclusive space for all.

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 help me?

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 self-esteem therapy 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 self-esteem therapy?

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 really improve my 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.

What if I find it hard to talk about myself?

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.
