Exam Confidence, Self Esteem and Assertiveness - There are many ways in which hypnosis can help you to become more confident, assertive and gain a greater self-esteem. Through mental rehearsal of 'difficult' situations, ego boosting techniques and other methods, it is possible to change old behaviours and thought patterns to more positive one. Assertiveness is the art of getting what you want without causing offence or harm to others; it is the balance between passivity and aggression. Becoming more popular every year, assertiveness training has been used to help sales staff, trainers, customer service staff, nurses, the police and many others, as well as being valuable in everyday life.

Performance Anxiety (exam stress, public speaking, driving test nerves etc.) - We all encounter situations which worry us: examinations, tests and public speaking, to name a few common examples. The stress we feel is a perfectly normal reaction to a situation, it is our body's way of preparing us for this situation. There is usually a release of adrenaline, which allows the body and brain to work more effectively. From time to time however these reactions are inappropriate to the situation or too strong, this is where hypnosis can help. Through the use of visualisations, suggestions and your own undiscovered inner resources, I can help you to use the stress energy to enhance your performance without it becoming a problem, keeping the good energy and losing the bad stress. Usually two or more sessions are needed. If you are finding that you are consistently and repeatedly avoiding situations and this is having a negative effect upon your life then you may wish to look at Phobias.

Performance Enhancement (sports, sales, management skills etc.) - Taking your knowledge, and the knowledge of your coach/mentor or manager I can help you work on the areas you are weakest in and boost your potential. Using techniques of motivation, visualisation and habit breaking we can help make those vital changes that push your performance to the new level. If you're unsure what you need to change, I can help you to be aware of the unconscious elements of your performance which may be limiting you from achieving your best performance all of the time. As little as one session may be required to see improvements.
