Self esteem is about our own sense of self worth, it is how we value ourselves and how important we feel we are. Self confidence is about having faith in our abilities.

Low levels of self confidence and self esteem can negatively impact many areas of a persons day to day life. Common situations where people people often feel they need to feel more confidence and self esteem can include public speaking, presentations, meetings, exam nerves, social situations, meeting a partner, job interviews, driving test nerves, stage fright etc.

Do you ever:

• feel fearful of new experiences and changes
• have exaggerated responses to defeats or disappointments
• want to be perfect, but see yourself as far from perfect
• have a strong need for approval
• find it difficult to maintain eye contact
• boast or exaggerate to cover up feelings of inadequacy
• feel reluctant to express your own ideas, beliefs or opinions
• apologise excessively
• talk negatively to yourself
• sensitive to criticism
• lack energy
• feel overly anxious
• eager to please
• have a strong need for approval
• focused on the past
• have a low level of self awareness
• have requent psychosomatic complaints
• neglect you physical appearance

Would you like to:

• welcome change
• Feel more secure about who you are
• be more confidence in yourself
• be able to be more intimate in relationships
• be able to show your true feelings
• recognize your own accomplishments
• be able to forgive yourself and others

By using an integrative approach and combining psychotherapy, counselling, hypnotherapy, NLP, Self Relations Psychotherapy and coaching we can address the underlying causes, build new behaviours, shift your focus, remove limiting beliefs and build new empowering beliefs about yourself and your abilities, so that your self esteem and confidence just continue to grow and grow.

Booking is easy

I recommend booking an Initial Consultation/Assessment session first. This gives us the chance to discuss your requirements further, answer any questions you might have, give you an estimate of the number of sessions you may require and begin the process of change.

Many confidence and self esteem related issues can often be dealt with in around 4 to 8 one hour sessions, for more deep rooted or complex problems, more may be required. However as we are all unique individuals, you decide when you have reached resolution.

I usually see individual clients in a consulting room in my home located in Chorlton-cum-Hardy in South Manchester, close to junction 6 & 7of the M60 and near the end of the M56.

When you are ready to make the inner changes you need to improve your life, just or phone me on 0161 881 4333 to discuss ways in which I can help you.
