Confidence and Self Esteem go together like sausage and mash!. They are vital weapons needed to face the challenges of life. Lack of self belief can stop you achieving the things you want to do.

 

Our confidence and self esteem can get dented and bruised over time. Maybe you were bullied as a child, maybe you were made to feel inferior over a sibling, maybe you have been continiously put down, whatever the reason those events have affected your ability to believe in yourself

 

I specialise in helping clients with anxiety based symptoms. Additional to the above, some clients do not know why they have low confidence and low self esteem, they do not know why they have anxiety. All they do know is that the symptoms make them feel down.

 

 

 

 

Hypnotherapy.  To start on the road to recovery the emotion linked to your symptoms need to be addressed. Most of our actions and feelings are subconscious ones so the root of your therapy needs to be addressed at this subconscious level. I will help you to uncover the birth place of your current feelings and thought processes by using hypnoanalysis if the underlying reason cannot be recalled consciously.

 

Additionally to Hypnoanalysis, I use the NLP technique of future pacing. Future pacing helps you to envisage a new way of responding and behaving to situations which presently upset you. In the hypnotic state you are asked to go forward in time and picture the images of your new behaviour. These images are then played through again and again like a movie, on the inside of your mind.

 

 

 

Your present behaviour is one which has developed over time and the intensity of the emotion has got stronger and stronger. In effect a negative habit is present and it is a subconscious action. Future pacing helps to turn that negative behaviour into a positive one by allowing your subconscious mind learn a new behaviour. The more your subconscious sees and feels these images the more it will accept them, if it is your desire and wish. This way, you are creating a new habit with positive intent. You create a positive life change and you can start the final phase of your therapy of raising your confidence and self esteem levels by using the techniques of:

 

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

 

You are helped to look at your thinking and emotions associated with every day events.  Very often these would be negative dysfunctional thoughts. In this case, those negative thoughts and emotions which fuel your current symptoms. You are then helped to create and establish positive functional thoughts to help you empower change.
