Low Self-Esteem Therapy Calgary
Overcome self-doubt, fear of failure, and feelings of inadequacy and build confidence and self-worth at Clear Minds Psychology
What Is Low Self-Esteem?
Low self-esteem means having a negative view of yourself and your abilities. You might believe you are “not good enough” or unworthy of success. Over time, this belief can limit your potential and harm your emotional well-being.
Common signs include:
- Constant self-criticism
- Fear of making mistakes
- Difficulty accepting compliments
- Avoiding challenges or opportunities
- Feeling undeserving of happiness
- Comparing yourself negatively to others
- Putting others needs ahead of your own
Causes of Low Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can develop from many life experiences, such as:
- Childhood criticism or neglect
- Bullying or social rejection
- Difficult relationships
- Workplace stress or failure
- Cultural or societal pressures
- Trauma or abuse
Recognising the cause is the first step toward change.
How Therapy for Low Self-Esteem Works
At Clear Minds Psychology Services, I use effective, compassionate approaches to help you rebuild self-worth:
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) – Challenge negative thoughts and replace them with realistic, balanced ones
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Accept imperfections and live in line with your values
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – Process painful memories that affect your self-image
- EMDR Therapy – Reduce the emotional impact of past experiences
- Behavioural Activation – Increase confidence through positive action and achievement
These methods aim to strengthen self-confidence and create lasting emotional resilience.
