Therapy For Self Esteem
New Client SCREENER

Self-Esteem

​We all have times when we lack confidence and don’t feel good about ourselves. But when low self-esteem is a severe, long-term problem, it can have a harmful impact on our mental health and lead to depression and anxiety. Self-esteem is the opinion we have of ourselves. When we have healthy self-esteem, we tend to feel positive about ourselves and about life in general, and we can deal with life’s difficulties. However, when our self-esteem is low, we tend to see ourselves and our lives in a more negative and critical light. We also feel less able to take on the challenges life throws at us.
​
TREATMENT: Therapy can help you improve your self-esteem and see yourself in a more realistic and balanced way 
(minimum 5-10 therapy sessions recommended). Available treatments include:
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT): Teaches you how to challenge/change problematic thought patterns and unhelpful behaviours that contribute to symptoms.
CBT for Core Beliefs: Helps you examine, challenge, and change  unhelpful core beliefs or schemas that usually start in childhood.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT): Teaches you how to be in the present moment, on purpose, in a non-judgmental way.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT): Teaches you how to accept the present and commit to improving your life at the same time. Also involves identifying and living according to your values.
Problem-solving therapy: Helps you solve complex problems in a strategic way.

"The most important opinion you have is the one you have of yourself, and the most significant things you say all day are those things you say to yourself."
