Understanding and Working With Low Self-Esteem in Voice Users
Tuesday 21st July 2026
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
(London Time)

Understanding and Working With Low Self-Esteem in Voice Users

Dr Luke Aldridge-Waddon

Join Dr Luke Aldridge-Waddon as he introduces a cognitive-behavioural approach to understanding and working with low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is associated with a range of psychological and physical health difficulties, including issues relevant to voice disorders and vocal performance. The presentation will first define low self-esteem before discussing psychological factors relevant to its development and maintenance. Luke will review existing research which characterises low self-esteem as a commonly reported experience across voice use and voice disorder groups, with some suggestions for how this might then be approached within a voice clinic and voice coaching context.
