Low Self-Esteem Therapy
Rebuild Confidence & Embrace Self-Worth
Professional Therapy for Patients with Low Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can affect how you see yourself, how you interact with others, and how you navigate life’s challenges.
If you often feel inadequate, struggle with self-doubt, or engage in negative self-talk, you’re not alone—many people experience difficulties with self-esteem at some point in their lives.
Our compassionate psychologists are here to help you rebuild confidence, develop self-acceptance, and create a more positive self-image.
Understanding Low Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is the way we perceive and value ourselves. It is shaped by past experiences, relationships, societal expectations, and personal beliefs. When self-esteem is low, it can lead to feelings of unworthiness, perfectionism, fear of failure, and difficulty setting boundaries. These struggles can impact your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
At Hendriks Psychology, we provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the root causes of low self-esteem. Through evidence-based therapy, we help you develop healthier, more constructive beliefs about yourself by:
- Addressing negative self-talk and unhelpful beliefs
- Developing self-compassion and self-acceptance
- Strengthening assertiveness and boundary-setting skills
- Building resilience to navigate setbacks and challenges
- Encouraging healthy ways of thinking
- Encouraging healthy ways of responding to self-criticism
