Calm Mind Sessions for self-esteem
and confidence in Dubai
Change how you talk to yourself. Low self-esteem can show up as constant self-criticism, fear of getting things wrong, difficulty saying no or turning down opportunities because you doubt yourself. Dr Fouzia offers Calm Mind Sessions for self-esteem and confidence, helping you notice the beliefs behind self-doubt, examine how accurate they are and practise new ways of thinking and acting.
Self-doubt may show up as.
Notice what keeps self-doubt in place.
A belief such as “I am not good enough” can lead to avoiding a challenge or overpreparing for it. That can make it harder to learn what you are capable of. Calm Mind Sessions offers a structured way to look at these patterns and test them gradually.
Practise a fairer way of seeing yourself.
Sessions can focus on beliefs that affect work, relationships or everyday choices. You agree what feels useful and may try small exercises between sessions.
Identify recurring beliefs and the situations that bring them up
Look at evidence for and against a self-critical thought
Practise responding to yourself in a more balanced way
Try small behavioural experiments to see what happens
Work on assertiveness and setting boundaries where relevant
Focus on what matters in your day-to-day life.
The focus is mainly on current patterns and practical goals. Earlier experiences can be discussed if they help make sense of a belief, but you do not need to talk through every part of your past.
Your safety comes first.
If you have thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life, or feel unable to keep yourself safe, get urgent help now. In the UAE, call 998 for an ambulance or 999 for police or go to the nearest emergency department.

No. It describes how you think and feel about yourself. It can occur alongside low mood or anxiety, and a clinician can help you consider what support fits.
