Supporting clients in rebuilding self-esteem involves several approaches:

  • Strengths Identification: Work with clients to identify their strengths, talents, and positive qualities. This can help shift their focus from negative self-perceptions to recognising their inherent value.
  • Positive Affirmations: Encourage clients to practice positive affirmations and self-compassion exercises. Remind them to challenge negative thoughts and replace them with constructive, affirming statements.
  • Constructive Relationships: Discuss the importance of surrounding themselves with supportive and affirming individuals. Encourage clients to seek out relationships that uplift rather than diminish their self-worth.
