Confidence
Confidence is a skill that can be developed and built upon – everyone can enhance their self-confidence. When we feel confident, we believe in ourselves and our abilities. Individuals who have healthy levels of self-confidence are often more optimistic about their skills and have a more positive view of themselves, whereas those who lack this quality generally have negative thoughts about themselves and their abilities. Low self-confidence is something many of us suffer from and can result from many factors like fear of the unknown, low self-esteem and fear of other people’s perceptions. This lack of confidence can hold us back from developing both personally and professionally. This is usually why individuals with low self-confidence seek to build their confidence level.
“Annette is absolutely fantastic, offering a standard that goes above and beyond what is expected in the world of counselling and therapy. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of help and I would urge those in need to find her and get in touch!”
Hypnotherapy assists the client to find strategies to build confidence. For one reason or another, deep-seated false beliefs can end up in our unconscious and deplete our confidence. By using positive reframing, Hypnotherapy allows us to let go of false beliefs, and over time, cultivate healthier and positive view that enables our confidence levels to return to how they would be naturally. This is done by using a combination of talking therapy and Hypnosis. Boosting self-confidence can completely change our personal and professional life for the better. An individual may note this shift by seeing positive changes in their behaviour, body language, voice, and how they react to certain situations, trusting more in their abilities and improving their quality of life. After sessions, clients have noticed knock-on benefits in their careers and relationships, thereby feeling more comfortable in social environments.
What happens in a session?
Following an initial consultation, a typical session lasts 55-60 minutes. First, the goal for therapy is revisited and then, through positive, goal-focused work using questions and suggestive statements, we work together to find solutions and challenge limiting beliefs. Hypnosis is a technique that is used at the end of the session. This is a relaxed state, where the mind is open to suggestions and positive change. In this state, the client ‘cements’ all the work done so far, reinforcing ideas that have been discussed, allowing the unconscious mind to start connecting with the idea that the client is a confident individual. This then translates to the conscious mind, thereby changing the thought patterns, behaviour, and how the client feels about themselves.
