Hypnotherapy for Confidence Nottingham
Low self-esteem and a lack of confidence can affect every area of your life—from relationships and work to your personal happiness and growth. If you often feel like you're "not good enough," struggle to speak up, or doubt your abilities, you're not alone. These feelings are more common than you may think, and they can have deep-seated causes.
What causes low self-esteem and confidence?
Low self-esteem and confidence issues can stem from various experiences, including:
- Past experiences such as criticism, bullying, or neglect in childhood can shape how you view yourself
- Negative relationships where you’ve felt undervalued, judged, or unsupported by others which can chip away at your confidence
- Unrealistic expectations, comparing yourself to others or striving for perfection can make you feel like you’re falling short
- Stress or trauma from life challenges, such as job loss, breakups, or significant setbacks that can shake your self-belief
- Internal dialogue where over time, negative thoughts like "I'm useless" or "I'll fail anyway" can become automatic and increasingly difficult to silence.
Symptoms of low self-esteem and confidence
Low self-esteem and confidence can manifest in a variety of ways, including:
- Constantly second-guessing yourself or over-apologising
- Feeling unworthy, unlovable, or like a failure
- Avoiding challenges or opportunities for fear of failure
- Struggling to say “no” and prioritising others' needs over your own
- A sense of hopelessness or being "stuck"
- Overthinking and dwelling on past mistakes
- Physical symptoms, like tension, fatigue, or trouble sleeping.
If any of this resonates with you, it’s important to remember one key thing: you do have the resources inside you to find your inner freedom from what is holding you back.
How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based on neuroscience, helps you to understand how your brains work and how they can get you stuck sometimes. It’s a gentle, positive, and effective approach that focuses on the future, not the past. Instead of revisiting old wounds or negative experiences, we work together to create meaningful, achievable steps towards a confident and more self-assured you.
A collaborative approach that combines talking therapy with a deep state of relaxation called hypnosis. Together, we’ll focus on what you want to achieve rather than dwelling on the problem. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state you are then able to quieten and relax your conscious mind and focus on thoughts and suggestions that will help reframe your thinking, boost self-esteem, and quiet that critical inner voice. Helping to reduce anxiety, stress, and overwhelm and creating space for your confidence to grow. Rewiring your thoughts by encouraging more positive and helpful thought patterns, you are able to move away from self-doubt and towards self-belief.

A transformative impact on my life
Where do I begin? I never realised how much I needed Katies support until I had the privilege of working with her. Her calm and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease. Each session was a safe space where I felt truly heard, understood, and supported.

I can't recommend this service enough
When I began hypnotherapy with Katie I was mildly sceptical and unsure of what to expect, but I noticed an improvement in my mood after even the first session. After 8 weeks I was and am totally convinced this is a lifechanging experience & practice.

A new way to approach daily life
Katie has been a huge help in giving me tools to use and a new way to approach daily life. I have had therapy in the past but this was so different - it was refreshing to not look back and drag up the past but to focus on the future.

Life changing for me
Hypnotherapy with Katie has been life changing for me and I say this as a person suffering with ME/CFS, FND and chronic migraine to the point where I was bedridden for most of 2024. The toolkit Katie instilled in me during our time has enabled me to have a quality of life that I never thought possible.
Kelly

Empowering
I can honestly say that working with Katie has been life-changing. The impact of the sessions has been profound. I no longer find myself stuck in procrastination, something I’ve struggled with for years. I now feel so much more capable of dealing with stress and difficult situations when they come up.
