For Low Self esteem, lack of confidence etc (aka Social Phobia/Scopophobia).

Confidence, self esteem, social anxiety, embarrassment and shyness issues successfully treated by Alice Pinion at the Maldon Hypnotherapy Clinic, Essex with Hypnoanalysis - a unique and highly effective form of Hypnotherapy.

Social Phobia is the technical term for a group of far reaching symptoms all based around lack of confidence, self doubt, fear of failure and low self esteem. It's probably the most common phobia and expresses itself in many ways - not just fear of doing a speech or an interview at work. It is the fear of any situation where the sufferer is likely to feel 'on the spot', embarrassed, humiliated, silly or judged. e.g. dinner parties, public speaking, interviews, presenting, singing, talking on the phone etc. A socially phobic person may suffer from any of several symptoms such as a deep sensitivity to criticism, negative self image, fear of rejection (which often limits their decisions in relationships, work, hobbies etc), difficulty in being assertive and feelings of inferiority. Basically a social phobic worries continuously about how others see them and think about them. They'll often invest a vast amount of time and energy in creating the image they want others to see and they're often quite adept at concealing their anxiety from others - even those they're very close to.

Accompanying problems and symptoms often go alongside this problem:

• Blushing
• Stuttering
• Working too hard to please others - often to extremely or unachievable self imposed high standards
• Eating disorders - Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia etc.
• Low self esteem -often accompanied by perfectionism with looks, makeup, hair, clothes etc
• Depression
• Sexual performance anxiety
• Fear of failure
• Twitches, tics
• Emetophobia - fear of being sick
• Anxiety, panic attacks etc

Many of my clients have often just thought they were the shy kid that never grew out of that phase -or just had really high standards for themselves (that they'd often never expect of others). Maybe for years living a limited personal, social and work life...Not going out with friends as it's far more stressful than fun, "Everyone else seems to have a laugh and all I'm worried about is what I'm saying, looking like, what they're really thinking of me."

Often a Social Phobic wont' go for that promotion at work, as in their eyes they're not good enough, bright enough, or just couldn't bear the responsibility it requires of them, or the weekly presentations they'd need to do. Often they'll talk themselves out of it even if everyone else tells them how great they'd be.

If any of this sounds familiar and you'd like to free yourself from it's limiting effects once and for all, be rest assured that luckily Hypnoanalysis offers an effective, refreshing and altogether very different approach by actually getting to the genuine source of the problem rather than just masking symptoms.

Just imagine not carrying all that baggage around with you for the rest of your life - no matter how much you think you've gotten "used to it" or "deserve it" or "it's just the way I'm made"! Just think of how very very different life would be if you didn't have to go through it with the handbrake on all the time?

In the entirely understanding and non-judgemental atmosphere of Alice's highly professional consulting room you will work together with her using Pure Hypnoanalysis to allow those bottled up emotions which reside deep within your unconscious mind to naturally surface and be cathartically released - leaving you feeling lighter, better, free from all those symptoms.

Support, understanding and empathy are all integral when working with Alice and you'll soon see it is not like that of other talking therapies or counseling. Instead of just raking over the past and trying to intellectually come to terms with issues, Hypnosis and Free Association allow clean excision of the unconscious reasons for your social anxietyand then those pent up emotions finally resolve and are truly released. In doing so any directly and often many indirectly related symptoms disappear for good and you can just simply get on with happily living that life you've always wanted and be the person you've always wanted to be. No brainwashing involved, no more management of stresses and insecurities just to get by - quite simply you will have the choices as the same person you were but crucially without all the unconscious baggage holding you back in life.
