While everyone struggles with confidence occasionally, some people seem generally more confident than others. People with a healthy level of self-esteem often believe in a set of values and principles and feel secure in these principles. They often trust their own judgement and do not feel threatened by other people having differing opinions. They often trust in their own capacity to solve problems and face difficulties, and they do not generally feel inferior or superior to others.
Healthy self-esteem and confidence can lead to a more comfortable, happy and secure state of mind. Low self-esteem however can be debilitating and may leave you with an underlying sense of being ‘not good enough’ or inherently less worthy. Our confidence counsellors are experienced in many different types of therapy that can help deal with the confidence issues you are facing.

Counselling will include some exploration of the origins of the self-confidence issues you are experiencing.
Counselling also helps with recurring negative thoughts like:
These underlying belief systems have a self-perpetuating effect and low self-esteem can sometimes generate a powerful, relentless negative internal voice. Self-confidence and self-esteem problems are usually deeply-rooted issues that can benefit from several types of confidence therapy. Our counsellers explore these issues with you and help you deal with aspects of life that feel difficult.
Confidence counselling can help improve personal relationships, intimacy with others and the way in which you view and treat yourself. Counselling can be ongoing and open-ended or time-limited to 10 sessions. Both face-to-face and online counselling is available.
