self-esteem & confidence building
Our self-image is an accumulation of the attitudes and opinions we are fed back to us. We unconsciously (and sometimes even consciously) take on-board each and every comment we're given and reaction we notice. Occasionally, these are presented in the form of formal assessments; mostly, however, they are just the casual, and often quite unconscious, reactions of those we encounter. Indeed, more than we may realise, we are affected by what other people say, their unconscious body language, tone-of-voice and partly-disguised facial expressions.
pictures we form of ourselves
Collectively, the feedback we receive (and, more importantly, the way we interpret it) helps mould the powerful unconscious pictures we form of ourselves. These pictures go on to dictate how we respond to life and all its various events, profoundly impacting on our relationships, career, financial success, place in society and even our general emotional state. Arguably, our self-image is even more significant than the combined effects of our intellect, our appearance and our up-bringing.
you can if you think you can
Self-image and confidence are about how we feel and about being sure of our abilities. They are determined by:
- what we believe about ourselves and the world in which we live
- the way we think
- the strategies we habitually employ
- our ability to manage our emotions.
Henry Ford is attributed to have said: “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” Certainly, self-image and self-belief play a crucial part in providing us with the necessary confidence to achieve whatever outcomes we may want but, more than that, they're also largely responsible for determining how much we are able to enjoy life.
help
I now offer a six-session, personalised confidence building workshop in which I help my clients on an individual, one-to-one basis. Together we deal with whatever limiting beliefs and negative emotions they may have. They are taught techniques to manage their emotional state and they learn to start perceiving themselves and their world in a way that is appropriate and helpful. Focussing on the unconscious mind as they do, Hypnotherapy and NLP are excellent tools to employ when dealing with both the symptoms and the underlying causes of confidence and self-esteem issues.

Should you have any questions, or should you just wish to speak to me about this (or anything else), please feel free to send me an e-mail or to just call me on 020 7734 4000.
Do not let self-esteem or confidence issues erode your enjoyment of life any longer.
