Free Online Support Group for Improving Self-Esteem
Self-esteem heavily impacts the way we live our lives. It affects our work, our relationships, our parenting, and our ability to deal with stress in general.
Low self-esteem can make us feel pessimistic about everything: life, future, and, above all, oneself.
Other indicators of low self-esteem can include:
- Being overly sensitive to criticism
- Chronic indecision and an exaggerated fear of making mistakes
- Fear of saying “No”
- Social withdrawal & lack of social skills
- Eating disorders & self-neglect
- Reluctance to take on challenges
- Lack of trust in one’s own ability and opinion
- Being overly critical of oneself and a lack of self-confidence
- Low motivation
- Feeling incompetent and being dependent on approval of others
In the support group, participants share their experiences, get feedback and support whilst providing support to others. Guided by an experienced facilitator, the group looks at how to build a healthier level of self-esteem.
Thursdays 6:00 – 7:30pm (Central European Summer Time - GMT+2)

Free Online Support Groups for ME/CFS
Living with a chronic illness like ME/CFS can be very difficult. ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can have a devastating impact on daily life, requiring patients to make significant lifestyle changes and adapt to a series of new limitations. Further to these difficulties, ME/CFS patients also experience an equally challenging emotional upheaval. Feelings of anger, guilt, anxiety, isolation and abandonment are added emotional stress that often makes symptoms worse and recovery harder.
The Free Online Support Groups for ME/CFS aim to provide an online community where people with ME/CFS can share experiences, pool resources, and work collaboratively to improve coping strategies in a supportive and confidential setting.
Facilitated by Counseling Intern Klara Jaeger, the groups discuss topics such as grief, relationship issues, coping skills, depression and anxiety.
These are ongoing support groups, which means that new members will be able to join along the way. Being an online group, members can choose to join in the conversation via phone or webcam. To ensure everyone has the opportunity to speak, places are limited to 4 – 6 participants per session. Each session runs for approx. 60 minutes and take place on a weekly basis. Please note that session times are flexible and can be adjusted according to the group's needs.
