Therapy for Self-Esteem
Understanding and Improving Self-Esteem
Therapy for self-esteem at Fruition Counselling is dedicated to helping you explore and transform how you view yourself.
Self-esteem is a concept that speaks to how we feel about ourselves. When one has high self-esteem, they feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often feel critical of themselves and are unworthy of love or praise.
If you frequently feel inadequate, compare yourself unfavorably to others, or struggle with feelings like shame and self-doubt, this therapy is designed for you. By addressing the root causes of low self-esteem, I provide supportive guidance to help you build a healthier, more resilient self-image that empowers you to lead a fulfilling life.

Addressing the Complexities of Low Self-Esteem
At Fruition Counselling, therapy for self-esteem is deeply focused on addressing the nuanced ways in which low self-esteem can manifest and impact your life. Individuals with low self-esteem often develop coping mechanisms that can further complicate their emotional and mental health:
Imposter Syndrome: Individuals may present a facade of confidence while internally struggling with intense self-doubt. This often affects perfectionists who set unattainably high standards for themselves or procrastinators who avoid tasks for fear of failure.
Rebellion: Some people may react to feelings of inadequacy with defiance, sometimes expressing their frustration through anger or antisocial behaviors. This defiance can mask their true feelings of vulnerability.
Victimhood: Feeling powerless in dealing with life’s challenges, some individuals adopt a victim mindset, which can lead to a dependency on others for support and validation.
Low self-esteem consistently leads to challenging outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and a pervasive lack of joy. It often manifests as anger, guilt, sadness, self-doubt, loneliness, and isolation, which can contribute to eating disorders, codependency, and self-harm.
The treatment I provide aims to unearth the deep-seated origins of these self-esteem issues, often developed in childhood, and to challenge and change the pervasive negative thought patterns.
With a compassionate and understanding approach, I guide you through recognizing and replacing destructive beliefs with affirmations of self-worth and self-compassion. Together, we will work on strategies that foster a realistic and positive view of yourself, building resilience and enabling a more joyful, confident way of living.

FAQs
In therapy, I work with you to uncover the root causes of your low self-esteem, which often stem from past experiences and internalized negative beliefs. We then address these through practical strategies aimed at changing your thought patterns, enhancing your self-awareness, and ultimately boosting your confidence and self-worth.
I utilize a range of therapeutic techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which is effective in challenging and changing negative thinking patterns, and narrative therapy, which helps reshape the stories you tell about yourself. I also incorporate mindfulness practices to improve self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Many clients begin to experience positive changes within a few sessions as they learn and apply new skills, but lasting self-esteem improvement might require a longer-term commitment to therapy.
