i agree more with lurkette. she basically told you that you are the one who can help her. there's actually a sad story which i have about my first girlfriend that this reminds me of...
when i first met her, she was very shy, very introspective, not quite self loathing, but the whole "i'm fat and ugly" deal.
we were together for a year (almost exactly) and through the course of events as i kept reassuring her that she's not fat or ugly, she stopped bringing it up less and less, and i could feel a burst of confidence in her.
of course in the end she dumped me for some other guy after cheating on me with him right around our one-year anniversary.
just make sure you let her have other friends, encourage it. If she doesn't have very many friends, introduce her to some of your friends (even if the little jealous voice in side your head starts screaming "NOOO").
your reassurance and the company/attention of others should help her gain confidence.
