Counselling and Mental Health Service

This session is a face to face session, taking place in Wellbeing Rooms, 1.63 Large Group Room, Simon Building.

This CBT informed psychoeducational workshop is the first of a two part workshop for low self-esteem. It is likely to be suitable for you if you relate to some or most of the following:

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

Part 1 of understanding low self-esteem is designed to consider how life experiences and the meanings we give them contribute to low self-esteem. We will then identify patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviour which can further reinforce our negative sense of self.

Once you have this understanding, if you would like to develop strategies on how to break out of these patterns and improve self-esteem, please feel welcome to register for Understanding Low Self-Esteem part 2: how to improve it.
