CBT for Self Esteem
Silence your Inner Critic

CBT for Self Esteem
Has your self-critical voice persuaded you you’re not good enough, a failure, stupid or ugly?
You’ve accidentally become your own worst enemy. And the worst part is that you can’t even escape your own thoughts, they follow you everywhere. It’s exhausting and it’s demoralising.
But it doesn’t have to be that way, CBT for Self Esteem can change all that.
CBT for Self Esteem will help you to:
- You can’t accept compliments
- You doubt that others like you
- You’re stuck in your comfort zone
- You overcompensate
- You people-please
Confidence Coaching for High Achievers
Ironically, high achievers are often the ones that struggle with confidence the most. Feeling like an imposter, comparing yourself to others, and never feeling good enough despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Here at Hannah Paskin Therapy, I specialise in working with high achievers who struggle with self-confidence, perfectionism, imposter syndrome and people pleasing. My non-fluff, straight-talking, and results driven approach to therapy will help you to develop confidence at work, socially, and within yourself so that you can discover life with self-belief.

What is Low Self-Esteem?
Your self-esteem is basically what you think of yourself. Good self-esteem can provide you resilience for the ups and downs of life, protect you against criticism, and allow you to celebrate your achievements. Low self-esteem on the other hand forces you to live with a cruel bully voice that never shuts up. Low self-esteem can infiltrate every area of your life, causing self-doubt at work, questioning yourself when socialising, and in general just hating everything about yourself. It makes enjoying life pretty impossible, and it’s knackering.
Low Self Esteem Therapy
Because low self esteem is unfortunately so common, it can feel like it’s normal. And when something feels normal, we wrongly think that therapy isn’t appropriate. But honestly, so many people would benefit from low self-esteem therapy, and many wish they’d started sooner.
Signs that it’s time to start therapy:
- You can’t accept compliments
- You doubt that others like you
- You’re stuck in your comfort zone
- You overcompensate
- You people-please
- You avoid conflict or criticism
- You undermine yourself
- You accept poor behaviour from others
- You constantly compare yourself to others
- You put yourself down & make jokes at your own expense
- You call yourself useless, stupid, a failure, ugly, boring etc
If you read through that list going “that’s me”, “that’s me”, “that’s me too”, it’s definitely time to start therapy and learn how to build your self-belief.

Self-Esteem at Work
Your job can be a hotbed for self-esteem problems. You are more likely to hear about the things you are doing wrong and need to improve, then the things you are doing right – which is pretty normal in business. But that’s a huge issue if you already feel like you’re not good enough, not smart enough, not knowledgeable enough, or not experienced enough. Any slight criticism amplifies your inner critic to epic proportions
Unfortunately, it doesn’t just stop with the self-critical voice, it also seeps into your decisions and actions. This can result in
- Not applying for promotions & limiting progression
- Not speaking up in meetings
- Taking on too much
- Difficulty saying no
- Refusing praise and credit
- Excessive checking and planning
- Excessive time on tasks & redoing tasks
- Overcompensating with work hours
- Difficulty asking for help
- Difficulty developing social connections at work

Self-Esteem Therapist for Business Owners
Just because you’re a business owner, doesn’t mean you have confidence. So many businesses owners struggle with self-belief and self-assurance – I talk to them every week.
The impact of low self-esteem as a business owner:
- Procrastinating decisions
- Difficulty delegating
- Excessive worry
- Preoccupation with any negative feedback
- Constant comparison to competitors
- Over-delivering & under-charging
- Difficulty closing sales
- Avoiding promoting your service
Confidence Coaching
How It Works
Confidence isn’t something you have or don’t have. It’s something that’s learnt and developed. Confidence is easier for those who had a supportive upbringing, were encouraged to step outside their comfort zone growing up, and who didn’t experience bullying. But confidence is something that is available to everyone.
Confidence Coaching will:
- Help you identify the root cause of your lack of confidence
- Teach you how to change your negative self-beliefs
- Support you to step outside your comfort zone
- Ensure you build confidence
Private CBT Therapy
As a logical thinker, CBT Therapy really fits with how my brain works, and lots of my clients say the same. It’s packed full of useful self-insight that stem from psychological theories and has a vast volume of effective coping strategies that allow me as a therapist to hand-pick what will work for you.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at your thoughts and beliefs and enables you to rewire your mind. Alongside this we will look at stuck patterns of behaviour and how to change these.
Private CBT Therapy is a valuable investment to free yourself from your inner critic and learn how to thrive with confidence.
