Therapy for Low Self-Esteem and Low Self-Confidence
Trauma Therapy for Women and the LGBTQIA+ Community in Huddersfield and Slaithwaite
Are you fed up with feeling dismissed at every turn, especially by those you thought had your back?
Maybe a recent argument with your partner has left you seething — confused, hurt, and wondering why you feel so alone.
Or perhaps you were overlooked for a promotion at work again, and it's stirred up old wounds of not feeling seen, heard, or valued.
You may be hitting constant creative blocks, or simply need a place to scream about the unrelenting weight of chronic pain, illness, or exhaustion.
Or maybe you’re struggling just to make simple decisions, keep up with daily tasks, or remember who you were before all of this.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
Withdrawal from social life and forgetting when the last time you reached out to a friend was.
Intense self-criticism of your work performance, with persistent fear of being “caught” for not being good enough.
Spiralling at work when receiving any feedback that isn’t high praise
Therapy for Low Self-Esteem and Low Self-Confidence
It may feel impossible right now, but lasting confidence is something you can cultivate. You can feel like yourself again — grounded, clear, and no longer trapped in paralysing self-doubt. And I’m here to help you get there.
Counselling for low self-esteem and low self-confidence can help you:
1. Rebuild trust in yourself
It’s well known that low self-confidence is connected to low self-esteem. But what’s often overlooked is how deeply both are tied to self-trust. This is where we’ll begin.
Together, we’ll explore how to trust your own impressions, opinions, and bodily sensations again. By gently tuning into the physical experience of emotion, pain, and pleasure, we begin to uncover your truth, placing strong emphasis on validating your reality as it is, not as others have told you it should be.
2. Reclaim your wants and needs
As you reconnect with your inner knowing, we’ll begin to map out what you may want more of in your life: joy, connection, rest, challenge. Step by step, I’ll support you in making that truth more visible, first to yourself. This is the beginning of lasting change.
3. Let your truth be seen — safely
When you feel ready, we’ll work on allowing your truth to be visible to others. This means honouring and protecting the parts of you that are still afraid of exposure, rejection, or failure.
This protection is key. By identifying and allowing these fearful parts permission to be as they are, and giving them a safe haven, you’ll learn to quiet the inner critic and soften the self-doubt that’s been holding you back.
You don’t have to live life feeling invisible and undervalued.
I can help you get there.
