Low self-esteem can deeply affect a client’s quality of life, influencing their relationships, career, and overall sense of wellbeing. When someone holds a poor view of themselves, it becomes difficult to achieve personal and professional goals, engage in healthy relationships, and maintain a positive outlook on life.

For clients dealing with low self-esteem, it’s essential to address these negative self-perceptions and help them build a more accurate and compassionate view of themselves.

The Self-Esteem Worksheet is designed to help your client explore the roots of their self-esteem issues and begin the process of change. By guiding them through self-reflection and cognitive restructuring, you will help your client break down harmful beliefs and replace them with more supportive and realistic thoughts.

While working through the exercises in the worksheet, you and your client will explore key questions like:

  • What is self-esteem? Guide your client to define self-esteem in their own words and reflect on its importance in their lives.
  • What influences your self-esteem? Explore both negative and positive influences that have shaped their self-esteem over time.
  • How can negative beliefs be challenged? Help your client identify and challenge negative beliefs about themselves, fostering a healthier self-image.

As you and your client work through the Self-Esteem Worksheet together, you’ll see the benefits of:

  • Greater self-awareness: Encourage your client to reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, leading to greater self-understanding.
  • Improved therapist-client collaboration: Work together to uncover the underlying causes of low self-esteem and develop tailored strategies for improvement.
  • Support for goal-setting and progress tracking: Guide your client in setting specific goals for enhancing self-esteem and monitoring their progress over time.

Use this worksheet to help your client rebuild their self-esteem by guiding them through self-exploration, providing concrete steps for change, and encouraging them to see themselves in a more positive and realistic light.

Encourage your client to regularly revisit and reflect on the insights gained from the Self-Esteem Worksheet and support them as they work towards a healthier sense of self-worth. An editable version of this worksheet is free to members of Uncommon Practitioners’ TV.
