Self Esteem Therapy
CBT-informed therapy for people who want to build healthier self-worth, reduce self-criticism, and feel more grounded in who they are.
Self-esteem is about how you see your own worth
It can be easy to value yourself when life is going well — but much harder when mistakes,
rejection, self-doubt, or setbacks show up.
Low self-esteem can make you focus on flaws, dismiss your strengths, and speak to yourself in ways
you would never speak to someone you care about.
Practical support for self-worth, confidence and self-compassion
Whether low self-esteem has been with you for years or has been triggered by recent life events, we’re here to help.
At Reimagine Psychology, we help you understand the patterns behind self-criticism, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
No shame. No pressure.
Just practical support for building self-worth that feels more steady and real.
How CBT can help with
low self-esteem
CBT can help you notice the critical voice that says you are not good enough, understand where those thoughts come from, and practise responding to yourself in a more balanced and compassionate way.
Notice the inner critic
We help you identify the thoughts, rules, and self-beliefs that keep low self-esteem going.
Challenge unhelpful beliefs
Together, we explore whether self-critical thoughts are true, helpful, or part of an old pattern.
Build balanced self-talk
Therapy can help you practise more realistic and compassionate ways of speaking to yourself.
Strengthen self-worth
We support you to recognise your strengths, tolerate mistakes, and build a more stable sense of value.
Therapy can also support
confidence, self-compassion, boundaries, decision-making, relationships, perfectionism, and everyday self-worth.
Building a kinder relationship
with yourself

A few things to know before booking
You do not need to have it all figured out
You might know your self-esteem is low, or you may simply notice patterns of self-criticism, comparison, or doubt.
Self-esteem can change
Low self-esteem does not mean you are stuck. Therapy can help you build a healthier relationship with yourself over time.
CBT can be practical
Therapy may include noticing thoughts, challenging old beliefs, and practising new ways to respond to yourself.
Fees and rebates are available
Sessions start from $225, and Medicare rebates may apply with a Mental Health Care Plan.
Support for self-worth
that feels practical,
human and kind
At Reimagine Psychology, we understand that low self-esteem is not about being weak or dramatic. It often comes from long-standing patterns, painful experiences, pressure, or years of being too hard on yourself.
Our psychologists offer down-to-earth, evidence-based support to help you understand these patterns and build a more compassionate, stable sense of self-worth.
We will not push toxic positivity or tell you to simply “love yourself.” We work with you to build self-esteem in a way that feels realistic, gentle, and grounded in your real life.

What is low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem can make it hard to feel worthy, valuable, or good enough, even when there is evidence of your strengths.
Can CBT help with low self-esteem?
Yes. CBT can help you notice self-critical thoughts, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build more balanced self-talk.
Do I need to feel confident before starting therapy?
No. Therapy can be a place to begin exploring self-doubt, shame, comparison, and the patterns that make confidence harder.
Is low self-esteem linked to anxiety or depression?
It can be. Low self-esteem may contribute to anxiety, low mood, stress, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and relationship difficulties.
Can I claim Medicare rebates?
Medicare rebates may apply if you have a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.
