'I don't seem to be capable of doing the work'

Are you unable to do a task because you don't have some necessary knowledge? If so, check your course materials and track down the information you need.
Are you unable to do something because you've missed classes? Students who don't attend often have difficulty understanding the requirements of a task. Sometimes they get so far behind that they don't even know how to catch up!
Where studies have been unavoidably disrupted, you should approach your faculty.
Make sure that you understand all feedback. Read it thoroughly and ask your tutor for further explanation where necessary. Then take the steps necessary to improve! Remind yourself of this feedback when working on further assignments.
If you can't find a way forward, ask your tutor for guidance.
Is this more a matter of low self esteem? If so, remember that yoru faculty spends a great deal of time selecting suitable candidates for its courses. By accepting you, staff are confident that you have the talent to succeed.

UWE's Counselling Service sometimes runs workshops on developing self esteem, and offers one-to-one sessions for individuals. See their web site for details.
