Counselling and Mental Health Service

Entry to this group is via Practitioner referral only.

This is a 5 week CBT course and attendance at each session is required.

This course could be suitable for you if you relate to some or most of the following and find that they have a significant adverse impact on your daily life:

Accepting and/or liking yourself can be difficult

Some of your life experiences have made it hard for you to appreciate and value yourself

You find it difficult to treat yourself with compassion and kindness

You have a tendency to be self-critical and self-blaming

You often experience anxiety and/or low mood as result of low self-esteem

You avoid situations/activities for fear of failure

This course will be facilitated by a CBT practitioner using face to face sessions. It will be a closed group meaning that anybody who does not attend the first session will be unable to attend subsequent sessions. We will be using a range of mediums to help us including power point, small group exercises and some larger group feedback. You will develop your own personal understanding of what has contributed to the development of your self-esteem and what processes maintain it. You will be invited to engage in a range of evidence based CBT exercises and strategies, including between sessions, designed to help you improve your self-esteem over time.
