What are the dangers of low confidence and self worth?
Low self- confidence and esteem dramatically affect one’s well-being and quality of life. The result could be higher anxiety levels, depression, and trouble with relationships. People experiencing such issues are more susceptible to negative self-talk, self-sabotage, and difficulty making decisions. The avoidance of challenges and opportunities prevents personal and professional growth. This could further isolate them, thus creating a negative cycle that prevents them from achieving their full potential. It can also leave them vulnerable to manipulation and abusive relationships.
Individuals with low self-esteem often face various challenges, for example:
-
- Shyness and difficulty talking to people
- Fear of speaking out in front of others
- Feelings of worthlessness
- Negative feelings about themselves
- Inability to take risks
- Boundary setting
- People pleasing
- Worry and anxiety

How Hypnotherapy can help increase confidence
We can often be our own worst critic with that little voice inside our head telling us we are not as good as we should be. This voice often exaggerates our weaknesses while ignoring our strengths. It tells us we are stupid, ugly, boring, or these and sets us up for failure.
Hypnosis for discovering self-confidence
Working with a hypnotherapist allows you to access the subconscious mind to make positive changes. It does this by using the power of suggestion to stop those negative thoughts from holding you back. Hypnotherapy utilises the confidence you already possess that a past event has affected. You already have some skills to help yourself. You just need to know how to identify and use these skills.
You can use hypnotherapy for general confidence building or specific problem such as:
-
- Public speaking
- Acting
- Networking
- Exams or Driving Test
Hypnosis won’t magically transform you into a different person. Although it can be very helpful in helping you become the person you want to be, it cannot change your personality. It is impossible to become someone you are not.
You will also need to put in some effort. You can make changes relatively quickly, but you must be prepared to work at reinforcing what you want to change.
Here are a few ways to build your confidence and self-esteem.
Be kind to yourself
Practise self-compassion. It is ok to fail. Failure the ways we learn and grow. No one is perfect, so stop expecting it of yourself.
Stop comparing yourself to others
Never forget that you have your own distinct identity, and it is this uniqueness that makes you special.
Practice positive self-talk
Rather than succumbing to self-doubt, counteract your inner critic by acknowledging and embracing your many strengths.

What is hypnotherapy and how does it work for low confidence?
Hypnotherapy can be a wonderful tool in helping you increase your confidence. It provides a safe and supportive environment to explore what is holding you back to develop a more positive self-image, ultimately leading to increased confidence.
It uses guided relaxation and focused attention, allowing users to access their subconscious minds. This allows for addressing the root causes of low confidence, such as negative self-talk, limiting beliefs, and experiences, and replacing them with positive suggestions and empowering beliefs.

The effects can be long-lasting, especially when combined with other self-improvement techniques. However, to keep the positive changes, continued practice and regular reinforcement will increase long-term success.

Hypnotherapy can be very effective for helping increase self-confidence, boosting self-esteem, and improving one’s overall sense of self-worth. I’ve found considerable success treating this problem; it’s the one I encounter most often in my practice. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee any treatment as everyone is reacts differently. I promise to give 100% and if you match that commitment, we should succeed.
What happens during a session?
The first session begins with a careful assessment of your needs, followed by a discussion about your treatment goals. Then, a standard hypnotherapy session typically starts with a confidence-building exercise offering practical tools and techniques. This is followed by a relaxing hypnotherapy session which will focus on a specific issue that is holding you back.
How many sessions will I need?
It all depends on your circumstances. The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the complexity of the issues. Positive changes may appear quickly for some, while others may need more sessions. I usually recommend five sessions. Your initial session will assess needs; following sessions focus on solutions.
