Confidence and Self Esteem

Feel more confident, more capable, and more at ease within yourself.

If something isn’t feeling quite right, you don’t have to go through it alone.

You may be experiencing anxiety, difficulty sleeping, unwanted habits, low confidence, weight concerns, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed — whatever brings you here, change is possible.

As a very experienced hypnotherapist at Hypnotherapy Dunedin, with a Master’s degree in Psychology, a degree in Social Work, and over 20 years of experience, I offer a confidential, professional and personalised approach tailored to your individual needs.

low confidence or self-doubt
overthinking or fear of getting things wrong
difficulty speaking up or expressing yourself
comparing yourself to others
feeling not good enough
imposter-type feelings
avoiding opportunities or challenges
fear of judgement or criticism
difficulty trusting yourself
holding back in work, study, or social situations

“Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong.”

How I can Help

Using a psychologically informed approach combined with clinical hypnotherapy and breathing techniques, we work to:

reduce self-doubt and overthinking
build a stronger sense of self-belief
feel calmer and more in control
change unhelpful patterns and responses
develop confidence in real-life situations
improve focus and performance

This approach works not only with conscious thinking, but with the underlying patterns and beliefs that shape how you feel and respond.

Performance & Confidence

Confidence often affects how we perform — whether in:

work situations
public speaking
study or exams
sport and performance environments

Together, we can work to improve focus, reduce pressure, and help you feel more confident and capable in these areas.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“ Just wanted to say thank you. The therapy really worked for me. I’ve just been to a contest and I did so much better than I could have. I didn’t get the shakes or loose my breath and made a good performance of it. You’ve really helped me and given me my confidence back. Thank you”.

“I now feel relaxed around people, confident, and able to do things I never could before.”

“I’ve learned how to manage my thoughts and no longer feel overwhelmed by them.”

“Thank you for everything you did for me, even just talking to you changed my life. Yesterday I delivered my presentation in front of a large audience. I never would have done that had I not had the right mindset. I am now on a better path than I was before and I have you to thank for it”.

“Just a note to say thanks for your help last year. I have made several presentations since the sessions and have had no issues! This gave me the confidence to volunteer when a TV station came to site earlier this year”.

“I had some really beneficial gains from the sessions. I am starting to let go and finding my inner peace again, starting to heal”.

“I wish to say a big thank you for your help. Since the hypnotherapy I have been brave and got rid of a job that was holding me back in my growth as a person and stand up for myself and others in my full time job, all of which confused my bosses. Both are blown away in what I have done, but am still on good terms with both. You have helped control my fears and do good in the world for me and others in which I am all about. A lot of people owe you there. Thanks. If they knew what had helped me. I said to you before we started I could do what I said if what you did worked, and it did – tenfold, so thanks again”.
