Confidence Building Therapy in Birmingham City Centre

Is a lack of confidence holding you back?  Overcome by self-doubt or imposter syndrome?  Take a look at our confidence-building therapy.

Low confidence or self-esteem can point to a problem in two areas:

1. You doubt your abilities and fear failure.

2. You fear rejection and feel unimportant.

It is possible to struggle with just one of these areas. Or, you can struggle with both. Our team of therapists, counsellors and psychologists can help you build your strength and confidence to take risks that make your life better.

How we can help

Fear of Failure

When you fear failure, you doubt your abilities. You worry more about making mistakes and you get more scared that you won’t know what to do.  What if other people think you’re an ‘imposter’?

Confidence-building therapy can teach you how to take risks by:

  • Identifying the coping strategies you use that undermine a growth in confidence.
  • Identify thinking patterns that chip away at you.
  • Design exercises to help you step outside your comfort zone.

Fear of Rejection

A fear of rejection can be born out of a belief that other people don’t care or that you are unimportant. Similarly, you may believe that there is something wrong or defective about you deep down. As a result, you’ll be more likely to avoid speaking to people, put others first all the time and see others as better, more likeable or more attractive. Instead of seeing your beauty, you get caught up in self-criticism.

Our team of therapists will teach you ways to build your low confidence by:

  • Identifying the roots of feeling unloved or cared for
  • Identifying your current coping strategies and assessing their effectiveness
  • Build up new skills in you including:
    • Assertiveness training
    • Clarifying what’s most important to you
    • Designing exercises to increase the connection in your relationships

We aim to get to the root of the problem quickly by pin-pointing the areas of your life where you lack confidence e.g. relationships or work. We’ll teach you the relevant skills in a safe and supportive environment. You’ll observe demonstrations from our CBT specialists on how to handle tricky conversations by being open, honest and respectful.

See our workshops and individual therapy to decide on the best option to suit your lifestyle and budget.
