Welcome to Therapy for Confidence, Self-Belief & Personal Growth

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

​

You may be doing well in many areas of your life, yet still find yourself questioning your abilities, overthinking decisions, worrying about what others think or holding yourself back from opportunities.

​

Perhaps you know that something needs to change, but you're not quite sure how to get there.

​

Sometimes it isn't the situation itself that causes the most difficulty, but the way our mind has learned to interpret it. Is your thinking keeping you stuck? Thinking patterns such as mind reading, discounting the positives, all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophising, and negative predictions reinforce anxiety, self-doubt, low confidence, perfectionism or overthinking.

​

EXPLORE HOW I CAN HELP

​

Perhaps you can recognise some of this...

​

Self-doubt

You question yourself or your abilities, even when there is evidence that you're doing well.

Overthinking

You replay conversations, analyse decisions or find it difficult to switch your mind off.​

Perfectonism

You put pressure on yourself to get things right and find mistakes or criticism difficult.

Confidence

You want to feel more comfortable speaking up, expressing your opinions or taking opportunities.

People-pleasing

You want to feel more comfortable speaking up, expressing your opinions or taking opportunities.

Boundaries & Assertivness

You find it difficult to say no, communicate what you need or put yourself first.​

Fear of Criticism

You worry about being judged, getting something wrong or disappointing others.

Feeling Stuck

You know you want something to change but aren't sure what's holding you back or how to move forward.

How We Can Work Together

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — CBT

CBT helps us understand how thoughts, emotions, physical responses and behaviours can interact and keep difficulties going.

Together, we can identify unhelpful patterns, develop new perspectives and experiment with practical changes that you can take into everyday life.

​​I provide a confidential, non-judgmental and safe space for you to talk.

​

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can provide another way of working towards change, using focused attention, relaxation, imagery and mental rehearsal.

It may be particularly helpful for goals around confidence, relaxation, performance and personal development, where appropriate.

 

CBT for a Range of Difficulties

Alongside my particular interest in confidence, self-belief and personal development, I also offer CBT for a range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

These can include:

Anxiety & Worry
Social Anxiety
OCD & Intrusive Thoughts
Low Mood & Depression
Low Self-Esteem
Stress
Panic
Overthinking & Rumination
Perfectionism

You don't need to know exactly what is wrong or have a particular diagnosis before getting in touch. We can begin by talking about what you're experiencing and what you would like to change.​​
