Self-Esteem Therapy in Bristol

Introduction

At Aaron Shaw Psychology, I provide evidence-based self-esteem therapy for adults across Bristol experiencing low confidence, self-doubt, and persistent negative self-beliefs.

Many people struggle with self-esteem in ways that affect relationships, work, decision-making, and overall emotional wellbeing. This can include feeling “not good enough,” second-guessing decisions, or being overly self-critical.

Therapy provides a supportive and confidential space to explore these patterns and develop a more balanced, stable, and compassionate relationship with yourself.

Common Difficulties

Therapy can support individuals experiencing:

  • Low confidence and self-doubt

  • Harsh self-criticism

  • Fear of failure or rejection

  • People-pleasing behaviours

  • Difficulty asserting boundaries

  • Feeling “not good enough”

  • Comparing yourself to others

  • Sensitivity to criticism

How Therapy Can Help

Self-esteem therapy focuses on understanding how negative self-beliefs develop and how they continue to influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviour.

Together, we may work on:

  • identifying negative self-belief patterns

  • challenging unhelpful thinking styles

  • building self-compassion

  • improving emotional resilience

  • developing healthier boundaries

  • strengthening confidence and self-worth
