Confidence can be a funny thing. Some days you feel ready to take on the world, and other
days it can feel like even the simplest tasks take a huge amount of courage. If your self-esteem has taken a knock (or you’ve never really felt confident in the first place) it can hold you back from living the life you want.
Many people I see in my hypnotherapy practice tell me they want to “feel like themselves again.” Often, they’re tired of second-guessing decisions, worrying about what other people think, or talking themselves out of opportunities.
The good news? Confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t have. It’s something you can build and hypnotherapy can be a powerful way to do it.
Where Confidence Comes From
At its core, confidence is about trust: trust in yourself, your abilities, and your ability to handle whatever life throws at you. But when we’re stressed, anxious, or stuck in negative thinking, our brain’s “primitive” part tends to take over. This is the part that’s designed to keep us safe but can end up making us feel small, cautious, and doubtful.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps by:
Quietening that overprotective, fear-based part of the brain
Activating your intellectual brain, where rational thinking and creativity live
Helping you focus on what’s going well and what’s possible for your future
How Hypnotherapy Builds Confidence
Each session combines two elements:
Positive, future-focused conversation to help shift your attention from problems to possibilities.
Guided trance, a deeply relaxed state that allows your brain to rehearse positive scenarios and strengthen new, more confident ways of thinking.
Over time, this combination helps you see yourself differently, trust your own judgement, and take action without that inner voice constantly second-guessing you.
What People Often Notice
Clients often share that they start speaking up more in conversations and meetings, saying yes to opportunities they might have avoided before, and worrying less about making mistakes. They tell me they begin to feel more comfortable in their own skin, and that sense of self-assurance starts to show in different areas of their life.
Confidence doesn’t mean you’ll never feel nervous again. It simply means you can feel the nerves and still go ahead and do the thing anyway.
Your Future Self is Waiting
If low confidence or self-esteem has been holding you back, you don’t have to stay stuck. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, practical, and uplifting way to start building belief in yourself again.
