What is Self-Esteem Counselling?

Self-esteem counselling can support you in identifying the cause of your low self-esteem issues and help you regain control of your mindset.

Self-esteem issues can occur due to a number of factors in your life. If you develop low self-esteem, counselling can help you reduce negative self-talk and stop thinking negative beliefs about yourself.

Causes of Low Self-Esteem

From internal self-worth issues to external issues that may induce negative thoughts, low self-esteem can be caused by several factors. Some of these factors may include:

Lack of confidence due to poor performance in a work or school environment.
Overwhelming stress due to financial or living situations.
Mental health illnesses like depression or anxiety.
Physical medical issues such as a disability, pain, or serious illness.

Common Signs & Symptoms of Low Self-Esteem

Low self-esteem can be projected in a multitude of ways and can look different depending on how you cope.

Here are some common behavior signs and symptoms that may indicate you may have low self-esteem:

Focusing on times of defeat rather than achievements.
Feeling depressive symptoms such as feeling worthless, guilt-ridden, or anxious emotions.
Thinking you aren’t worthy of gaining good things in life.
Making negative jokes about your feelings or appearance.

Avoiding environments where you may make mistakes because you fear failure.
Blaming yourself for issues regardless of whether you have control over them or not.
Thinking that every person thinks you are not good enough.
Constantly talking down about yourself to peers or to yourself.

Effects of Self-Esteem Issues

Individuals with low self-esteem are more likely to develop mental illnesses due to self-doubt. Feelings of anxiety, loneliness, depression, stress, and other problems can cause barriers in relationships with others and your relationship with yourself. It’s important to gain the support you need to help you reduce these mental blocks.

Why You Should Seek Help for Low Self-Esteem

You may notice that you mask your pain due to feelings of shame, and you may seek treatment in hopes of releasing your negative opinions of yourself.

Loving yourself through your flaws and weaknesses is extremely important. It’s also important to know that you matter and you are loved regardless of what your internal thoughts are letting you believe. If you have difficulty acknowledging the support you have, it’s crucial to reach out for help so you can begin to reform that loving relationship with yourself and others.
