Understanding this concern
Self-esteem is how we see and value ourselves. A period of self-doubt is common; when negative beliefs become persistent, they can affect daily life and may occur alongside anxiety or depression.
This guide is educational and cannot diagnose an individual.
What you might notice
- Harsh self-talkRepeatedly judging yourself more severely than you would judge someone else.
- Avoiding opportunitiesHolding back from people, activities or goals because you expect to fail.
- Difficulty setting boundariesSaying yes despite your needs or fearing others' reactions to a reasonable no.
- Persistent comparisonFeeling less worthy when measuring yourself against others.
Approaches to ask about
Methods vary by professional. Check each profile and ask what they offer.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Can help notice and challenge unhelpful beliefs about yourself.
Counselling and reflective therapy
Offers space to explore experiences that shaped your self-image and relationships.
Practical experiments
Small, chosen steps can help test old assumptions and build confidence over time.
Your first conversation
Your first conversation
You can describe situations where self-doubt shows up and what you would like to feel more able to do. The specialist may ask about your experiences and help you set a realistic, personal goal.
Common questions
Is low self-esteem a diagnosis?
No. Low self-esteem is an experience, not a diagnosis on its own. A professional can help explore whether another difficulty, such as anxiety or depression, is also present.
Can therapy help with self-confidence?
Talking therapies, including counselling and CBT, can help people work with negative beliefs and avoidance. Progress varies and depends on your goals and circumstances.
What can I bring to a first session?
A recent example of self-doubt is enough. You can also bring questions about the professional's approach, privacy and how sessions are structured.
Do I have to share my whole history?
No. You and the professional can agree on a pace. You can begin with what is happening now and decide together whether older experiences are relevant.
