Our self-esteem is our overall opinion of ourselves. Having low self-esteem means that we place little value on ourselves, and may have developed a negative view of life which can make it seem hopeless.

Stress is a normal response, and can be good at motivating us. However, if we’re overwhelmed by this stress for a long time, it can have an impact on both our mental and physical health. Stress, and the effects of stress, can feed itself, meaning that it can quickly dominate your life. We can help you understand the causes and support you in finding solutions to tackle them.
