Confidence
Overview:
It’s a myth that confidence is a fixed trait - that some people are simply born with it and others aren’t. Confidence can be developed.
Thanks to the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself through neuroplasticity, hypnotherapy can be a highly effective way to grow confidence from the inside out.
Most of us need a confidence boost from time to time - whether it’s for a work presentation, a wedding speech, or an exam.
Sometimes, life presents bigger transitions that call for a deeper reconnection with self-belief - navigating parenthood, changing careers, or stepping back into the dating scene.
Self-esteem goes hand in hand with confidence. Self-esteem is your intrinsic sense of self-worth, independent of your accomplishments, while confidence is your belief in your ability to succeed in specific tasks or skills.
It’s possible to have high self-esteem but low confidence (and vice versa), and during hypnotherapy we’ll work with both to create lasting change.
Most of the time a lack of confidence isn’t about what you consciously think - it’s what your subconscious mind believes. You may notice:
Feeling hesitant or self-critical even when you “know” you can succeed
Avoiding opportunities or challenges that would stretch you
Repeating the same patterns of self-sabotage or comparison
Struggling to trust your own decisions
Feeling nervous, anxious, or “stuck” in situations where you wish you could feel confident
Hypnotherapy works by gently accessing these subconscious beliefs, helping you release what’s holding you back, and allowing your confidence to grow naturally and effortlessly.
Facts:
Only 1 in 10 UK adults feel highly self-confident.
70% of UK adults are battling against an ‘inner critic’ that’s damaging their self-esteem.
32% of UK adults state that a lack of confidence affects their mental wellbeing.
How hypnotherapy can help you:
During a Hypnotherapy Session, we work with both your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.
You will be gently guided into hypnosis, where you’ll experience a state of deep, blissful relaxation - a space where the nervous system can soften and the mind becomes more receptive to change.
At the heart of this work is a shift from force to flow - from effort, pressure, and inner conflict to ease, calm, and inner peace. When we stop fighting ourselves, space is created for change to unfold naturally and sustainably.
While in hypnosis, you will receive direct suggestions, gently leveraging your brain’s neuroplasticity and encouraging the formation of new neural pathways - an essential part of long-lasting change.
We use ego-strengthening techniques to support a healthier sense of self, increased self-trust, and a stronger sense of inner stability and purpose.
Together, we work to identify and replace negative thought patterns and self-limiting beliefs with more supportive, empowering ones.
We will gently explore your specific triggers, learning how to manage - and often reduce or eliminate - their emotional charge.
Where appropriate, formative memories may be revisited and softly re-coded, allowing the subconscious mind to update old responses that are no longer serving you.
We also identify and challenge any secondary gains - the hidden reasons a pattern may have been unconsciously maintained.
Alongside hypnosis, we explore practical coping tools including NLP anchoring, tapping (EFT), breathing techniques, and grounding practices you can use in everyday life.
Some clients find it particularly helpful to work with their inner child, rebuilding a sense of safety, reassurance, and self-compassion, or to reconnect with their intuition - sometimes referred to as inner guidance - strengthening their ability to trust themselves and their choices.
Between sessions, you will be encouraged to listen to a bespoke audio recording and, where helpful, engage with reflective practices such as a positivity journal to support integration.
When you feel ready to complete your therapy, you will receive a Longevity Plan designed to help embed the changes you’ve made and support you in moving forward with confidence and independence.
