What is low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a pattern of negative beliefs about yourself—feeling unworthy, inadequate, or fundamentally flawed. It often develops over time through experiences, relationships, and messages received during childhood or later in life. Low self-esteem can affect confidence, decision-making, and how you relate to others.
How can therapy help with self-esteem?
Therapy can help you identify the roots of negative self-beliefs and challenge the critical inner voice that keeps you stuck. A therapist may use approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize distorted thinking patterns and develop more balanced self-perception. Over time, you may feel more confident and self-compassionate.
What should I expect when working on self-esteem in therapy?
Your therapist will likely explore where your self-image comes from and how it affects your daily life. Sessions may involve examining negative thought patterns, practicing self-compassion, and gradually building a more realistic view of your strengths and worth. Change happens gradually as you learn to treat yourself with more kindness.
How do I find a therapist for self-esteem?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who work with self-esteem and self-worth. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of their approach before booking. Credentials are verified during onboarding, and you can book your first session directly online. Book a free consultation to get started.
Is self-esteem therapy right for me?
If you frequently doubt yourself, struggle to accept compliments, or feel like you're not as good as others, working on self-esteem in therapy can be helpful. You don't need to be in crisis—if negative self-talk is holding you back, that's a valid reason to seek support.
