Every person is unique and their needs are not all the same but hypnotherapy combined with NLP and other techniques can be useful and successful approaches to improve self-esteem and confidence. To be self-confident is to trust in oneself, and, in particular, in one’s ability to engage successfully or at least adequately with the world. A self-confident person is ready to rise to new challenges, seize opportunities, deal with difficult situations, and take responsibility if and when things go a little wrong. Self-confidence leads to successful experiences, although any successful experience contributes to our overall confidence, it is, of course, possible to be highly confident in one area, such as sports, driving, singing, writing etc, but very insecure in another, such as relationships, public speaking or cooking. In the absence of confidence, courage takes over. 

​

Confidence and self-esteem do not always go hand in hand as it is possible to be highly self-confident and yet to have low self-esteem, People with a healthy self-esteem do not need to prop themselves up with externals such as income, status, or fame, or lean on crutches such as alcohol, drugs, or sex. Instead they treat themselves with respect and take care of their health and environment. They are capable of investing in their own growth although they may fear failure and rejection and they may suffer distress, hurt and sadness but their defeat will shrink them. Of course they suffer hurt and disappointment, but their setbacks neither damage nor diminish them. Owing to their resilience, they are open to growth experiences and meaningful relationships, are tolerant of risk and are accepting and forgiving of themselves and others.
