Self-Esteem vs Self-Confidence: What’s the difference?
Self-esteem and self-confidence are often confused. While they do overlap, they are still different and need to be treated separately. Self-confidence is your belief in yourself and your abilities. This could mean feeling positive and confident in your own abilities and life or negative and critical. Â
Self-esteem refers to whether you appreciate and value yourself. It’s essentially another word for self-love. This can develop and change with your life experiences and interactions with people. How you value yourself can influence and impact many aspects of your lifestyle such as home and work life, personal and professional relationships, and mental and emotional health.Â

Self-esteem therapy and counselling
Low self-esteem is when we place little value on ourselves. Often a person suffering from low self-esteem may have developed a negative of life making it feel hopeless or pointless. This is where we can help. We will work with you to explore and understand the root causes around your low self-esteem, and together work out a strategy to build your esteem through a combination of therapies.
We always approach each of our clients as an individual, we do not operate a ‘one-size fits all’ way of thinking. We will tailor your therapy to your needs and circumstances. Counselling can explore the way you feel and change your view of yourself and others. We offer a holistic, integrative route to therapy and draw on a combination of therapies
including hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and talking therapies such as psychotherapy and counselling techniques. One of the primary treatments we recommend for self-esteem is CBT.
What is low self-esteem?
When you have low esteem you tend to see yourself, the world, and your future more critically. You may feel sad, anxious, or unmotivated. You may doubt yourself and your
abilities to meet life’s challenges. You may talk harshly to yourself, telling yourself you are stupid or cannot do something. You are likely to go into a task or challenge with a negative mindset, expecting yourself to fail because you feel worthless. You might also be trying to always please other people and try to accommodate others' needs above yours. This is a fragile place to be as you will quickly start to feel low, overwhelmed, and anxious.
It is important to remember that self-esteem is a spectrum. For some, low self-esteem may only affect them in certain situations with certain people, whereas for others it affects every aspect of their lives and everything they do.
Signs of low self-esteem
Low self-esteem is the negative opinions you hold about yourself and may develop from poor life experiences such as:Â
- Punishment, abuse, or neglect: Those who experience this often assume they are bad and must deserve what has happened to them.Â
- Lack of love, praise, affection, or love: Sometimes lack of positive experiences and connections is enough for a person to develop low self-esteem.Â
- Feeling different: Fitting in with a group or tribe builds self-esteem. Not belonging can be lonely and isolating. Â
- Not meeting people’s expectations: Feeling that you have failed can seriously impact those with self-esteem issues.Â

How we help
A person suffering from low self-esteem may have developed a negative lifestyle making it feel hopeless or pointless. This is where we can help. We will work with you to explore and understand the root causes around your low self-esteem, and together work out a strategy to build your esteem through a combination of therapies. Â
By using therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychotherapy and counselling, we will work together to understand the negative messages making you feel the way you do and then take steps to address them. This includes recognising and reframing the negative messages as well as acknowledging the positive things in your life. Â
It is also important to discuss your past and explore where these negative attitudes come from. That’s why we’ll guide you through your past to events that may have been locked in your subconscious, tackle the root cause and increase your self-esteem. Now, you’ll be able to challenge any negative thinking that contributes to feelings of low self-esteem, helping you to grow in a more positive and assertive manner, proving your inner-critic wrong, and accomplishing things that you never thought you could. Â
