I didnât know how to be kind to myself. Therapy gave me the space to start listening to my own voice.â
â Anonymous client, self-esteem therapy at Eleos Counselling
âWhen I first came to Eleos, I was emotionally drained. I doubted myself constantly, second-guessed everything I said, and felt like I was always falling shortâat work, in friendships, even with myself.
In therapy, I learned to slow down and really pay attention to how I spoke to myself. It wasnât about fixing who I was. It was about understanding why I felt so unworthy, and learning to meet those feelings with compassion instead of shame.
Over time, things began to shift. I still have hard days, but now I notice the critical voiceâand I know itâs not the truth. I feel more grounded, more confident, and more like myself.
It hasnât been easy. But now I know how to stand up for myself gently, without apologising for existing.â

What Low Self-Esteem Can Feel Like
Low self-esteem often develops over time. It may begin in childhood or arise after repeated criticism, rejection, trauma, or pressure to be perfect. Rather than being a passing mood, low self-worth becomes a lensâone that distorts how you see yourself and your place in the world.
Here are some common signs:
-
Ongoing self-doubt â Frequently questioning your decisions or abilities
-
Fear of failure â Avoiding new experiences in case you donât measure up
-
Critical inner voice â Harsh self-talk that chips away at confidence
-
People-pleasing â Saying yes too often in order to feel liked or safe
-
Social anxiety â Feeling overly sensitive to judgement or rejection
-
Difficulty with boundaries â Struggling to say no or ask for what you need
When left unaddressed, these patterns can lead to anxiety, depression, or burnout. However, you donât have to stay stuck in these beliefs. With the right support, you can start to shift how you think and feel about yourself.
How Therapy Rebuilds Confidence
Therapy is not about âfixingâ you. Instead, itâs about uncovering the internal stories that hold you back and helping you build a new foundationâone based on truth, self-compassion, and realistic belief in your own worth.
Through counselling, you can:
-
Explore your past â Understand the roots of low self-esteem and how your early experiences shaped your inner voice
-
Challenge unhelpful beliefs â Learn how to spot critical thought patterns and replace them with supportive ones
-
Develop self-compassion â Begin treating yourself with the same kindness you offer others
-
Strengthen your voice â Learn to speak up clearly and calmly, even when it feels uncomfortable
-
Build emotional resilience â Respond to setbacks or criticism without falling into self-blame
As you begin this process, youâll notice small changesâmore clarity in decisions, more ease in conversations, and a growing sense of stability within yourself. Over time, these shifts can lead to a greater sense of purpose and confidence in your day-to-day life.
Why Eleos Counselling May Be Right for You

You Are Not the ProblemâThe Story Needs Rewriting
Itâs easy to believe that something is wrong with you when you live under the weight of self-doubt. In reality, most people struggling with confidence have learned these patterns through years of difficult experiences. Therapy offers a chance to rewrite that story.
Instead of constantly apologising for who you are, imagine living with self-respect, clearer boundaries, and the ability to trust your own judgement. Thatâs not just possibleâitâs within reach.

You donât need to have it all figured out. Starting is enough.
