Building Self-Esteem & Confidence

A six-week community wellbeing course for women aged 18+ in Leith

Would you like to feel more confident and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself?

Our six-week course, starting on 11th January 2027, offers a supportive space to learn practical, evidence-based techniques to help you develop greater confidence and self-acceptance.

Facilitated by two qualified, experienced counsellors, the course combines accessible psychological education, practical exercises and group discussion.

No previous experience of counselling or psychological techniques is needed.

What will we explore?

  • Understanding low self-esteem and how it develops.

  • Recognising and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns.

  • Developing self-compassion and managing self-criticism.

  • Understanding behaviours that may be keeping us stuck.

  • Building confidence and learning to be more assertive.

  • Developing strategies to maintain progress.

Each 90-minute session combines education, practical exercises and opportunities for group discussion in a welcoming, supportive and non-judgemental environment.

This is a psychoeducational course rather than group therapy, with an emphasis on learning practical skills.
