Build Greater confidence, Self Belief and Self Acceptance
Low confidence and poor self- esteem can affect many areas of your life. You may find yourself doubting your abilities, holding yourself back, worrying about what other people think or being far more critical of yourself than you ever would be of someone else.
Sometimes you may know logically you are capable, yet still struggle with self doubt or a fear of getting things wrong. Confidence isn’t simply feeling positive all the time. It is about developing a more secure sense of yourself, trusting your abilities and feeling more comfortable taking action even when you don’t feel completely certain.
How Low Self-Esteem Can Affect You
Low self esteem can influence the way you think, feel, behave and respond in everyday situations. You may:
- Second guess your decisions
- Worry about making mistakes or being judged
- Find it difficult to speak up or be assertive
- Avoid situations because you don’t feel confident
- Compare yourself unfavourably with other people
- Struggle recognise your own achievements
- Be highly self critical
- Find it difficult to accept compliments
- Lack confidence at work or in relationships
- Experience anxiety when faced with new situations or challenges
Over time, these patterns can become deeply established and can make it difficult to see your own strengths clearly.
How Therapy Can Help
Improving confidence isn’t about becoming a different person. It is about developing a healthier relationship with yourself and becoming more comfortable with your own abilities.
I use a combination of hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, depending on your individual needs and what you want to achieve.
Therapy can help you understand the pattens that contribute to self doubt, challenge unhelpful thinking and develop more constructive ways of responding to yourself and to situations that previously felt difficult. Hypnotherapy can also be used to support changes in established thought patterns and help reinforce a greater sense of confidence and self belief.
