CBT for Low Self-Esteem
Online support to build confidence and self-worth
Low self-esteem can affect how you see yourself, relate to others and approach everyday life. You might be highly self-critical, doubt your abilities, or feel “not good enough” — even when others don’t see you that way.
CBT offers a structured, compassionate way to understand and change these patterns.
How CBT Helps With Low Self-Esteem
CBT focuses on the beliefs and rules we develop about ourselves, often shaped by past experiences.
In therapy, we explore:
Where self-critical beliefs come from
How they’re maintained in daily life
The impact they have on your emotions and behaviour
Ways to develop a more balanced and supportive self-view
Change doesn’t happen overnight, but many people notice a gradual shift in how they speak to themselves and how they feel in social or work situations.
Common Difficulties Linked to Low Self-Esteem
Fear of failure or criticism
People-pleasing
Social anxiety
Perfectionism
Difficulty asserting needs or boundaries
These are understandable responses — and they can be worked with.

Online sessions provide a private, accessible space to explore these difficulties without added pressure. Many clients find it easier to open up when working from home.
Moving Towards Self-Confidence
