At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we understand how low self-esteem and lack of emotional resilience can affect many aspects of life. These issues can leave individuals struggling to manage stress, develop relationships, and maintain a sense of self-worth.

Our expert therapists provide comprehensive support to help you build self-esteem and emotional resilience, empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life.

What is low self-esteem?


Low self-esteem refers to having a negative perception of oneself, which can manifest in feelings of worthlessness or self-doubt. It often leads to anxiety, depression and various emotional challenges. People with low self-esteem may find it difficult to value themselves and often base their worth on external validation.


Common low self-esteem symptoms:


  • Negative self-talk: Constantly criticising or doubting your abilities.

  • Low self-worth: Feeling inferior compared to others.

  • Avoiding social situations: Fear of judgment or failure.

  • Lack of confidence: Struggling to take risks or make decisions due to fear of making mistakes.

  • Poor self-image: Seeing yourself as unattractive or unworthy.


Understanding the symptoms of low self-esteem is vital for identifying and addressing this issue before it leads to further emotional or psychological distress. Therapy is essential in breaking the cycle of low self-worth symptoms and helping individuals build a healthier self-image.


The impact of low self-esteem on mental health


Low self-esteem doesn’t exist in isolation—it often leads to or exacerbates other mental health issues. People who struggle with self-worth often develop anxiety, depression, or stress-related disorders due to their inability to manage life’s pressures. Without effective self-esteem therapy, individuals may experience:


  • Increased anxiety: Social anxiety and other forms of anxiety are common when individuals lack the confidence to engage with others.

  • Depression: A poor self-image can lead to feelings of hopelessness, which is a hallmark of depression.

  • Chronic stress: When you feel inadequate, even small challenges may feel insurmountable, leading to mental and emotional exhaustion.


Addressing low self-esteem treatment is crucial for preventing these issues and helping individuals regain control over their mental health.

Therapy for low self-esteem at Schoen Clinic Chelsea


At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer tailored treatment plans to help individuals address their self-esteem issues. Our therapists utilise a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, designed to challenge negative thought patterns and foster a more positive self-image.



CBT for low self-esteem is a highly effective method for helping individuals recognise and challenge the negative beliefs they hold about themselves. By focusing on how thoughts influence emotions and behaviours, CBT enables clients to break the cycle of negative self-perception and adopt healthier ways of thinking.


  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy


Mindfulness is an essential tool for improving self-esteem, as it helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment. This approach encourages clients to focus on the present moment and develop a more balanced view of themselves.


Emotional resilience: key to thriving through life’s challenges


While self-esteem deals with how we perceive ourselves, emotional resilience refers to our ability to bounce back from difficult situations. Resilience is essential for managing stress, overcoming adversity, and facing life’s inevitable challenges with confidence and composure.


At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer comprehensive support for building resilience.


Signs of low emotional resilience:


  • Struggling with stress: Easily overwhelmed by even minor challenges.

  • Difficulty adapting to change: Finding it hard to cope with life transitions.

  • Emotional exhaustion: Feeling drained and unable to cope with emotional demands.


Developing emotional resilience is crucial for maintaining mental health and well-being, especially in the face of ongoing challenges. Our resilience therapy programs focus on building the skills and strategies needed to manage stress effectively and develop a positive, proactive mindset.

How our therapy for resilience and self-esteem works


At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we provide a holistic approach to therapy that focuses on improving both resilience and self-esteem. Our experienced therapists use a combination of cognitive and behavioural techniques to help clients identify the root causes of their low self-esteem and develop practical coping strategies.


Key elements of therapy:


  • Identifying negative beliefs: Therapy helps individuals uncover and challenge the unhelpful thoughts that lead to low self-esteem.

  • Building self-confidence: Through structured activities, clients learn how to gradually build confidence in themselves and their abilities.

  • Emotional regulation: Learning to manage emotions effectively is a core part of resilience therapy, helping clients develop healthier responses to stress.


Our approach also includes assertiveness training and problem-solving skills, which enable clients to handle challenging situations with greater confidence and resilience.


Group therapy and support


In addition to individual therapy, Schoen Clinic Chelsea offers group therapy sessions that provide a supportive space for clients to share experiences, learn from others, and practice new skills. Group therapy can be especially beneficial for clients struggling with social anxiety or fear of judgment, as it helps build social confidence and fosters a sense of belonging.


How low self-esteem affects resilience


A lack of self-esteem can directly impact an individual’s resilience, making it harder for them to recover from life’s challenges. When you don’t believe in your abilities, every setback can feel insurmountable. Our integrated approach to resilience and self-esteem therapy focuses on improving both self-confidence and emotional strength, allowing clients to face adversity with greater ease.


Benefits of Resilience and Self-Esteem Therapy:


  • Improved self-confidence: As clients begin to believe in themselves, they naturally become more resilient in the face of challenges.

  • Better stress management: Therapy provides tools and techniques to cope with stress more effectively, reducing the likelihood of emotional burnout.

  • Enhanced problem-solving skills: Clients develop the ability to approach problems with a calm, rational mindset, which is essential for building resilience.
