Confidence & Low Self-Esteem
When the inner critic is loud, it can be hard to believe good things about yourself. You might doubt your decisions, compare yourself to others, find it hard to speak up, or feel like you’re never quite enough.
Low self-esteem often has roots in earlier experiences, and over time it can quietly shape relationships, work, and the chances we allow ourselves to take.
How therapy can help
Together, we can explore where that critical voice comes from, notice the strengths you may have overlooked, and find kinder, more balanced ways of seeing yourself. Change often starts small, and we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
Choosing how we work
There are three ways we can work together. You choose whichever feels right, and you can change your mind at any point: integrative work is flexible and built around your needs and wishes.
- Counselling on its own. Space to understand how you came to see yourself this way, and to explore what feels authentic to you. I can weave in CBT, solution-focused approaches and mindfulness practices where they help.
- Hypnotherapy on its own. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, focusing on what you’d like to feel and do differently, with guided relaxation in hypnosis, using positive suggestions to support a calmer, more confident outlook.
- A mixture of both. For example, talking things through in counselling, with hypnotherapy sessions alongside or later on.
