Searching for a Glasgow Counsellor to help with low self-esteem?

With so many problems (redundancy, stress, anxiety, depression …) it is not hard to see why so many search for a Glasgow counsellor to help with low self-esteem.

Although life events can often trigger feelings of inadequacy or “What have I done wrong this time?” low self-esteem often starts in childhood. As a Glasgow counsellor I have seen this effect many times, when children feel judged by everyone, the world seems to have too many problems and if there is not praise, the child becomes self-critical.

You need to be realistic about yourself; you need to build your self-esteem by taking little steps each day.

As a Glasgow counsellor I often recommend keeping a journal, but not a normal journal, rather one which concentrates on achievements or feelings when you feel low. By recording these swings in feelings and the successes in your life you can look back later and decide to accept the successes or see if there was a different way to look at a poor situation.

Often low self-esteem can be associated with taking too much of our self-image, our self-belief from others – but as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “If you put a small value on yourself, rest assure that the world will not raise your price”

Sobering stuff, if you feel you are worthless then relying on the world to make you better, it  may prove a long wait.

For those of you living and working in the West of Scotland, (and by Zoom elsewhere) as a Glasgow counsellor I am well placed to offer you a safe space where you can begin to look at how you feel about yourself and your life and its direction and perhaps be honest about it without fear of judgement.

We will look at your relationships and the acceptance of those who love us and value us. Look at achievements and what drags you down. Together we can challenge those negative thoughts and together look at ways to improve.
