Confidence & Self Esteem Counselling Northern Rivers, NSW

Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Do you compare yourself to others and feel like you don’t measure up? If you’re struggling with low self-esteem or lack of confidence, counselling can help.

In today’s fast-paced, social media-driven world, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others and feeling like you’re not good enough. But the truth is, everyone has their own unique gifts and talents. You are just as worthy and deserving as anyone else.

Low self-esteem can negatively impact your relationships, your career and your enjoyment of life. When we don’t feel good enough it holds us back in life, we avoid social interactions, we deny ourselves the gifts of loving relationships and we don’t back ourselves for that promotion at work. 

You may notice that you play small, hide your true self, avoid challenging situations or please others to feel validated. However, these strategies only serve to disempower you further and keep you locked in cycle of low self-worth. 

Boundaries, decision-making, priortising your needs, asking for support and showing vulnerability are all signs of someone with healthy self-esteem, along with healthy internal beliefs and an affirming mindset of self. These traits and behaviours can all be learnt and internalised with practice. 

If you’re struggling with low self-esteem or lack of confidence, then Confidence & Self Esteem Counselling can help. We’ll work together to help you grow and accept your innate worthiness.  You will experience yourself in a more positive light and develop healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with negative thoughts, painful emotions and unhelpful behaviours.

Confidence & Self Esteem Counselling FAQ’s

Confidence and self-esteem counselling is a supportive process that helps you explore how you see yourself, uncover negative beliefs that may be holding you back, and build a healthier sense of self-worth. At Northern Rivers Counselling, we work with you to increase confidence in both personal and professional areas of your life.

You may benefit if you often doubt yourself, feel unworthy, struggle to speak up, or avoid opportunities because of fear or low confidence. Many people also seek support when negative self-talk, perfectionism, or comparison to others is affecting their wellbeing.

Counselling can help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, strengthen self-compassion, and develop tools to face challenges with greater resilience. We work on setting achievable goals, celebrating your strengths, and building trust in your own abilities over time.

They’re related but slightly different. Self-esteem is how you value yourself overall, while confidence is more about belief in your ability to do specific tasks. Counselling addresses both, so you feel more capable and positive about yourself in a wide range of situations.

We may use approaches such as cognitive-behavioural techniques to challenge negative thoughts, mindfulness to increase self-awareness, and practical exercises to build self-confidence step by step. All strategies are tailored to your personal needs and goals.

It varies for everyone. Some people notice positive changes after a few sessions, while others prefer longer-term support to create lasting change. We’ll regularly review your progress to ensure counselling is helping you move forward.

Yes. At Northern Rivers Counselling, you can choose between face-to-face and secure online sessions, so support is available wherever you are in the Northern Rivers region or across Australia.
