Self Esteem Psychologist Melbourne
Dandelion Lane Psychology is a Self Esteem Psychologist in Melbourne offering face to face support in Richmond and telehealth across Australia.
The Importance of Self Esteem
A healthy self-esteem is important to optimal overall functioning and wellbeing. When self esteem is low it can have a significant negative impact on a person’s sense of self-worth and capacity to cope with life’s challenges. Self-criticism, negative self-talk, perfectionist tendencies and unfavourable comparisons with others can become prevalent and affect self confidence, lead to social avoidance or withdrawal, relationship difficulties and decision making based on seeking the approval of others rather than living by one’s own values.
In Australia low self-esteem disproportionately affects women and young adults. Low self-worth is a major trigger for psychological distress.
