We can help.
The good news is that self-confidence really can be taught and can be continually worked on when provided with the right approaches and strategies.
Our team of qualified and experienced counsellors will work with you to develop the tools you need to grow your self-confidence.
Book an appointment that feels right for you — all our practitioners are compassionate, understanding, and here to truly listen.

Together, you and your practitioner will create a personalised support plan, focused on helping you feel more grounded, balanced, and in control.
Some people find clarity in a single session, while others choose ongoing support — there’s no one-size-fits-all, only what feels right for you.
As your journey unfolds, we're here to walk beside you — helping you rediscover calm, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Sadly, this can be a vicious circle: people who lack self-confidence can find it difficult to become successful.
Self-confidence is an attitude about one’s ability, sense of control over their lives, and it can include how good they feel about themselves.
Self-confident people trust their own abilities or ability to learn to be able to achieve their goals.
Self-confident people also adjust their expectations so even if their expectations are not met, they don’t internalise feeling like a failure (for long): instead, they continue to be positive and to accept themselves, perhaps trying again or changing their goals.
Self-confidence is not necessarily a general or pervasive characteristic: we all have insecurities but we might feel more self-confident about particular aspects of ourselves or our abilities. For example, one might feel self-confident in an academic, work or sporting context but they might not feel confident about their appearance, social skills or sense of adventure.
People with low self-confidence often hold themselves back from taking risks, are afraid of failure and disapproval from others. They generally do not expect to be successful and may put themselves down, discounting praise from others as they’re so focused on their perceived shortcomings.
