Can hypnotherapy help with confidence?
It can. We make the aim specific, such as saying no or introducing yourself, and work with the expectations and feelings that get in the way. You then have something practical to try and review.
Confidence & Self-Doubt
Hypnotherapy for confidence in Rugby
You have something to say, then talk yourself out of it. Or you agree and wish you’d said no. I’ll work with you on the moments when self-doubt gets in the way, in Rugby or online.
Back yourself in a situation that matters
We begin with something you want to do: speak up, ask for an opportunity or set a boundary. I ask what you expect will happen and which part feels difficult.
We use hypnosis to rehearse the moment: what you’ll say, how you’ll respond and what you want to do next. If earlier experiences or competing wants are relevant, I’ll explain how we can include them.
We agree a manageable step to try in everyday life, then review what happened. Progress can include acting while nervous, rather than waiting to feel completely certain.
Driving tests, interviews and presentations
We work on the moment nerves interrupt your preparation: an examiner sitting beside you, an unexpected question or the opening sentence of a presentation. Sessions support the skills and preparation you’re already building. For more on a particular event, see performance under pressure.
A note from Adel
When I moved to the Netherlands, I went to an international school, and it was a real culture shock. I was misunderstood, and I wanted to fit in without knowing how. In the end I learned to be at ease with being different, and to enjoy it. If fitting in takes a lot out of you, that’s something we can work on.
Questions people ask
Can you help with driving-test nerves?
Yes. We can work on anxiety and confidence around the test, including how you respond after a mistake. Sessions support the driving skills and preparation you build with your instructor.
Do I need to know where my self-doubt started?
No. We start with what happens now. If a past experience is relevant, we can explore how it affects you today, with your agreement.
