Hypnotherapy for confidence and self-esteem in Lewisham

Low self-esteem often starts with experiences earlier in life, such as criticism, comparison or bullying, and carries on through the way you talk to yourself now. Hypnotherapy focuses on changing how you see yourself today.

Common signs are putting yourself down, struggling to accept compliments, avoiding challenges, needing reassurance and finding it hard to say no.

Confidence hypnosis means using hypnosis, a relaxed and focused state, to build self-belief in the subconscious mind. In my sessions it is combined with Curative™ hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT and solution-focused techniques, plus the personalised recording.

Yes, you are in control the whole time you are in hypnosis. Hypnosis feels like being deeply relaxed and absorbed, like being lost in a good book. You can hear everything and open your eyes whenever you want.

Most people say hypnosis feels like deep relaxation. Your body feels heavy and comfortable, your mind is calm and focused, and time often seems to pass quickly.

You need a laptop, tablet or phone with Zoom, a pair of headphones and a quiet room where you will be undisturbed. A comfortable chair, or a bed to lie on, is ideal.

Yes, online confidence hypnotherapy with me is secure. Sessions take place on Zoom, which is encrypted, and the practice is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ZB654528), so your information is handled securely and confidentially.

The personalised recording is a hypnosis audio that I make for you, based on what you want to achieve. You listen to it between sessions, ideally every day, to reinforce the work you do together.

You only share what you are comfortable sharing. Some techniques, such as Curative™ hypnotherapy, explore where a problem started, and much of that work happens in hypnosis. I always work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Yes, you can have confidence hypnotherapy wherever you live. Because sessions are online, I work with clients across London and the rest of the UK, as well as in Lewisham and South East London.
