Self esteem is largely a matter of emotion, whereas self
confidence is often eroded by experience. If we lose
self-confidence or self-respect our self-esteem will be
lower as one of its components is missing. This is why
any experiences which knock self confidence will have an
effect on self esteem.
High self esteem can also lead
to self confidence in the same way that sound self
esteem is both a cause and effect of Positive Mental
Attitude (PMA). PMA is a state of mind; the mind is
extremely powerful and like a muscle needs to be
exercised. Coaching can help you to ensure your mind is
exercised to build and maintain PMA and therefore self
esteem.
Self esteem and confidence are shaped by relationships
and experiences at school, at home and in wider society.
Therefore low self esteem and confidence can often be linked back to
childhood, when ideas were accepted into the mind as true, even if
they were inaccurate. If you were programmed with inaccurate
ideas when you were young you will probably find it difficult to
prevent associated thoughts and feelings, even if you now know this
is irrational.
What Harmony4Life clients are saying...
"...behind the scenes
there was you, you helped make me enjoy my wedding day
to the full, you showed me where my confidence was to
walk the aisle, and made me believe I could be beautiful
and interesting. it’s hard to believe I had been
dreading this day only a few months ago! I really can’t
thank you enough Claire, your amazing!"
"I feel
my self esteem has increased from a 1 to 5.5 (on a scale of 1-10) in
just this session (coaching."
"My confidence has increased from
a 3 to 7.5 (on a scale from 1-10) in just a couple of sessions,
which is exactly what I needed to help me move forward. This
together with the session on
procrastination has given me a new approach to life and I can
see things changing already as a result of this."

How self esteem and confidence relates to
other issues
I
specialise in
working with people with low self esteem and
confidence. Clients may not consider this to be at the
root of the issue when they first seek
coaching/ hypnotherapy but, if this is related to the
issue that they have come to therapy for, it usually
becomes apparent.
I can help you discover the
faulty programming that may be affecting your self
esteem and self confidence. Once this is identified it
can be replaced with positive programming to increase
your self esteem and confidence. Things that you used
to perceive as difficult will not phase you and instead
you will find your goals are easily achievable.
Where appropriate I will tailor cognitive
behavioural coaching, hypnotherapy and NLP to focus on self esteem and confidence, as well as working on the original issue
which brought the client to me.
A related Harmony4Life client testimony...
"I've always been
the one who struggled with confidence. Yet
this weekend, in fact the past few weeks, has been a
completely different story - I no longer shy away
from starting conversations, I've been approaching
new people, and have even found myself seeking
centre stage - how odd is that!
Funny how
things change! Speaking of change, I haven't
smoked since last Wed - am so chuffed that I can
manage a whole week and am now sure that I can quit
for good. Also been to the gym nearly every
day and, shock horror, actually played football last
week - I wasn't that good but who cares!
One of the things
I've realised is just how restricted and unfulfilled
my life was when I had no confidence - it’s amazing
how changing your attitude/thinking opens so many
new doors."
