Overview

Self-Esteem & Body Image

Low self-esteem can affect how you see yourself, your relationships and the choices you make. You may be highly self-critical, compare yourself with others, struggle to accept compliments or feel that you are somehow not good enough.

Body image difficulties can involve feeling uncomfortable or preoccupied with your appearance, comparing your body with others, or finding that your sense of worth has become closely tied to how you look.

Therapy can help you explore where these beliefs and feelings have come from, understand the patterns that keep them going and develop a more compassionate and balanced relationship with yourself. We can also look at the influence of relationships, past experiences, social media and wider expectations around appearance and self-worth.
