Does Confidence Shape Career Success?
Are you constantly overlooked for promotions, even after putting in the hard work? Do you often find yourself getting turned down during interviews despite having the required qualifications?
To grow in your career, you need to have confidence alongside the work ethic, dedication, qualifications, and skills. Career confidence is usually the difference between successfully acing a job interview and feeling stuck in a cycle of missed opportunities.
Not all of us are inherently confident. Some people, especially those who have faced multiple rejections or experienced a difficult childhood, might deal with subconscious feelings of low self-esteem and low self-confidence.
If you want to change your narrative and embrace career growth strategies, you need to change your restrictive inner dialogue. Thoughts like ‘you’re not good enough’ or ‘you’ll fail again’ are stopping you from achieving your full potential, and you can address these limiting beliefs through hypnotherapy.
With Susannah Saunders as your clinical hypnotherapist, you’re well on your way to overcoming workplace or career-related challenges.

The Role of Confidence in Your Career
When it comes to projecting self-confidence, there’s a fine line between coming across as assured versus arrogant. Being a more confident person doesn’t mean you are pretending to be someone else; it’s more about recognising and trusting your own capabilities. In the right measure, career confidence can help you effectively progress in your career.
When you feel confident, you’ll be more open to speaking up in meetings, negotiating salaries, and effectively presenting ideas without second-guessing yourself. With your confident attitude, your colleagues and superiors will notice and believe you’re capable and dependable. These are the qualities that help you progress in your career.
Low self-confidence is also visible to your peers. The subtle signs of low confidence include refraining from sharing your opinions, avoiding eye contact when you’re interacting with someone, or underselling your achievements during performance reviews. While these patterns are not individually harmful, they could hold you back from promotions, leadership roles, and successful opportunities.
Many people believe that career confidence is an inherent quality that you’re either born with or not. But that isn’t true. Confidence in any area of your life is a skill that you can build by training your subconscious mind.
Many people are low on career confidence because they’ve experienced a failure in the past, they’ve received constant criticism from a family member or fellow employee, or they hold self-limiting beliefs. If you can relate, you might think that you’ve moved on from those events, without realising that you haven’t.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work for Anxiety and Career Confidence?
So, how does hypnotherapy work for anxiety, and how can it help boost your confidence?
Hypnotherapy works with your subconscious brain, which stores your memories, emotional triggers, and beliefs about yourself. During a hypnotherapy session, you’ll be put under hypnosis, where you’re still aware of what’s happening and in control, but your mind is completely relaxed and you’re open to new ideas.
Here, I’ll guide you in uncovering the reason behind your lack of confidence, helping you reframe your feelings and beliefs. For instance, if your low confidence stems from repeated rejection, we can work on replacing negative thoughts with calm focus.
I’ve helped many of my clients regain their confidence through hypnotherapy, whether it’s feeling less nervous before a presentation or being more open to speaking up and sharing their ideas. Some of my clients have also seen a reduction in their physical symptoms, such as a racing heart or sweaty palms.
With hypnotherapy, you won’t be able to just manage your symptoms; you’ll also change the way you see yourself and how you perceive your future career. Once we make these internal changes, you’ll be able to project a more confident exterior as well. Your colleagues and supervisors will notice your composure during stressful situations and your leadership skills when you take charge of conversations.
I’ve helped many of my clients find their lost confidence, leading them to secure new jobs, negotiate higher salaries, and step into roles they wouldn’t have considered previously. If you feel that your lack of confidence is keeping you from achieving the same kind of success as your peers, let’s talk.
What to Expect in a Confidence Hypnotherapy Session
It’s completely normal to feel some nerves about starting hypnotherapy, which is why our first conversation and initial session are so valuable. Together, we’ll explore different career growth strategies and uncover any barriers that might be holding you back. We’ll also look at everyday workplace situations, such as interviews, presentations, and performance reviews, and reflect on how they make you feel. This insight allows me to create a hypnotherapy plan tailored to help you build genuine career confidence.
Hypnosis works by guiding you into a state of calm relaxation. You’ll remain fully aware of your surroundings and in control of your thoughts, movements, and conversation, while becoming more open to the positive suggestions I share.
During hypnosis, I’ll lead you through visualisations designed to transform unhelpful self-beliefs into more empowering ones. At times, we may revisit past experiences of criticism or setbacks to release their influence on you.
