Stress and Self Esteem

Stress and low self esteem often go hand in hand. When life feels relentless you might struggle to switch off, sleep or concentrate, and a harsh inner critic can leave you feeling not good enough. Counselling offers time to step back, be heard and start treating yourself with more kindness.

​

How counselling can help with stress and self esteem

• Making sense of the pressure: Together we can look at what is causing your stress, from work and money to family and relationships, and how it is affecting you.

• Understanding your inner critic: Many people carry critical beliefs about themselves from earlier in life. Counselling offers a space to notice and question those beliefs.

• Finding your own ways to cope: In person centred counselling I won't hand you a list of techniques. I will support you to discover what genuinely helps you feel calmer and more grounded.

• Building self worth: Feeling accepted and understood in counselling can help you recognise your strengths and value yourself more.

• Setting boundaries: As confidence grows, many people find it easier to say no, ask for what they need and protect their wellbeing.
