Build Your
Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is the foundation of how you engage with the world. At Clearview Counselling, we help you challenge negative beliefs, embrace your strengths, and build lasting confidence and resilience.
Understanding Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is the foundation of how we view ourselves, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and actions. It affects every area of life, from relationships and work to our overall mental well-being.
Healthy self-esteem means recognizing your worth, accepting yourself as you are, and believing in your ability to navigate life's challenges. Low self-esteem involves a negative self-view that can lead to feelings of inadequacy and difficulty trusting your abilities.
"Challenges with self-esteem are common, and you are not alone."
Negative self-perceptions often stem from past experiences, societal pressures, or inner criticism.

- 1Frequent self-criticism or negative self-talk
- 2Difficulty accepting compliments or achievements
- 3Avoiding challenges or fearing failure
- 4People-pleasing or struggling to set boundaries
- 5Comparing yourself negatively to others
- 6Feeling unworthy, unloved, or inadequate
What Causes Low Self-Esteem?
Low self-esteem is often rooted in life experiences and learned beliefs
Childhood Experiences
Criticism, neglect, or bullying during formative years can deeply affect self-perception.
Societal Standards
Unrealistic expectations and constant comparisons create feelings of inadequacy.
Trauma or Failures
