Hi, I'm Natalie. I'm an award-winning Senior Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Coach, also known as The Perfectionism Therapist. Happy reading...
Low self-esteem is a common but often overlooked problem that can have a significant impact on an your mental health and quality of life. However with the right understanding and treatment, you can learn to improve your self-esteem and cultivate a more positive self-image. In this blog post, we’ll explore what poor self-esteem is, common symptoms, effective treatment options, and how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help you overcome low self-esteem.
Low Self-Esteem is having a negative overall view of yourself, judging and evaluating yourself negatively, and holding negative beliefs about yourself as a person. Common beliefs include not feeling good enough or feeling unloveable. People with self-esteem issues experience frequent self-criticism. And they tend to ignore any positive qualities they have or that others notice.
If your self-esteem is low it can often create negative emotions and you’ll often find yourself in cycles of anxiety and/or depression. It’s not uncommon for poor self-esteem to have a big impact across several areas of your life. For example work, relationships and self-care.
Have you ever found yourself wondering ‘do I have low self-esteem?’. Here are the most common symptoms of low self-esteem I see in my clients:

CBT provides you with the tools and support you need to develop healthier self-esteem and and lead a more fulfilling life free from anxiety and low mood.

CBT offers numerous benefits for individuals struggling with self-esteem issues, providing tools and support needed to challenge negative beliefs and build self-confidence. By developing healthier coping strategies, you can learn to value yourself more fully and live a life without low self-worth.
Here are some of the therapy benefits my self-esteem clients find most powerful:
If you or someone you know is struggling with self-esteem problems, consider reaching out to a qualified therapist who can provide support and effective treatment. With the right help and support, it is possible to overcome low self-esteem and live a life free from the constraints of anxiety and low mood.
I specialise in working with perfectionists. It’s very common for perfectionists to have self-esteem issues, even if it’s ‘dormant’ and sometimes not always as noticeable. As a result I have lots of experience in helping clients successfully overcome low self-esteem. If you’re looking for a BABCP Accredited Senior CBT Therapist you can book an appointment here.
