A lack of self confidence or self esteem is something many people suffer. And this can manifest itself in many ways from being nervous before an exam or having to speak to a crowd to even entering a room filled with strangers.
If you have a low self-esteem or lack confidence in your abilities, your beliefs about yourself will often be negative, states the mental health charity Mind. 
You will tend to focus on your weaknesses or mistakes that you have made, and may find it hard to recognise the positive parts of your personality. You may also blame yourself for any difficulties or failures that you have.
Negative thinking patterns associated with low self-esteem, such as assuming you will fail at things you do, can develop over time and lead to mental health problems such as depression or anxiety.
However, hypnotherapy for confidence can help you challenge negative thought processes and limiting beliefs. By eliminating self doubt, you will generate a more positive future, improving self image and increasing determination.
And the plus side of hypnotherapy as a treatment is that it has no side effect, like drugs might have.
Quite simply, hypnotherapy is the application of hypnotic techniques in such a way as to bring about therapeutic changes.
The therapist assists in activating your inner resources to achieve realistic goals.
Finding a good hypnotherapist is key to your future well being and the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) holds a large register of independent hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.
Statistics show that about one in seven people are suffering from stress or anxiety at any one time in the UK and much of this can be brought about by a lack of self confidence.
Your lack of confidence could be rooted in negative experiences you had as a child or teenager, or significant difficult events in your adult life.
If these negative experiences are not dealt with they can set a precedent for future achievement.
While some people manage to live with their lack of self esteem, more and more people are showing signs of over-anxiety, which leads to stress, which can make a significant impact on the quality of life and wellbeing.
If you feel your confidence needs a boost, an initial visit to an NCH therapist could be the answer. By using a range of different techniques your hypnotherapist will relax you, make you feel comfortable and work with you towards achieving your goal. After a session you may feel uplifted, lighter and very relaxed. Often change is very subtle, as your hypnotherapist will be working with you subconscious mind, and you may just notice a very positive shift in how you are feeling.
