What Is Low Confidence?
Low confidence means not feeling very sure about yourself or what you can do. People with low self esteem often hold negative thoughts about their abilities, even when they are smart or capable.
It’s normal to feel unsure sometimes, but if someone feels this way a lot, it can stop them from feel good or enjoy life. Low confidence can come from being criticised a lot, comparing yourself to others, or going through tough experiences.
The good news is that there are ways of improving your self esteem and build confidence with a range of psychological approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy and schema therapy. With realistic goals, support, practice, and changing your thought patterns anyone can build health self esteem in the long term.
Do you experience low self esteem?
- Constant negative self talk, criticism, or perfectionism
- Feeling "not enough" despite achievements
- Pressure to meet family or cultural expectations
- Difficulty setting boundaries or saying "no"
- Comparing yourself to others or feeling invisible
- Fear of judgment or “losing face”

Common habits lowering your confidence
- Setting yourself up to a high standard and criticising yourself harshly when you don't meet them
- Thinking that others will think you are mean or rude if you speak up for yourself
- Minimising your skills and achievements, whilst maximising those of others
- Focusing on the negatives of a situation too much
- Automatically thinking that things will fail before you even start
- You might look at other people and think they’re better than you. But you’re only seeing part of their story—not everything they struggle with.
Why Confidence Can Be Hard to Build
For many women, confidence is often shaped by a lifetime of being told to be quiet, accommodating, or “perfect.”
For some, cultural norms around humility, sacrifice, and success can create internal pressure. You may feel torn between honouring your culture and honouring yourself.
Therapy helps you find your voice without losing your values. Together, we explore what confidence looks like for you—on your terms.
