From People Pleasing To Inner Confidence Group Programme: Starting 29th January 2026

A gentle, live small-group programme for midlife women who want to stop feeling overwhelmed, calm anxiety, and feel like themselves again — without fearing what others think.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed all the time, you’re not alone

You might look like you’re coping on the outside — capable, responsible, holding everything together — but inside you feel exhausted, anxious, and stretched too thin.

You’re constantly thinking about what other people need, what they might think, and how to keep everyone happy.
You say yes when you want to say no.
You feel guilty for needing rest or time for yourself.
And somewhere along the way, you’ve lost touch with you.

If this sounds familiar, I want you to know something important:

There’s nothing wrong with you.
And it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Imagine the possibilities if you could stop saying yes when you want to say no.

Imagine how you’ll feel when you stop trying to please everyone and learn to live life for yourself.

Are you ready to feel good about yourself without having to do everything for everybody? To go through life believing in yourself and having a deep sense of security in who you are.

This programme is a gentle first step

From People Pleasing to Inner Confidence is a supportive, six-month small-group programme for midlife women who feel overwhelmed from putting everyone else first.

It’s designed especially for women who:

  • Feel anxious and overloaded

  • Worry a lot about what others think

  • Struggle to say no without guilt

  • Feel responsible for everyone else

  • Are tired of being “everything to everyone”

  • Want to feel calmer, more confident, and more like themselves again

You don’t need to have done therapy or hypnotherapy before.
You don’t need to share more than you’re comfortable with.
And you don’t need to change who you are.

This is not about becoming harder, louder, or less kind.
It’s about learning how to be kind and caring without sacrificing yourself.

Imagine how much easier and more fulfilling your life could be when

You go from To
Trying to be everything to everybody Finding it easy to make decisions and feel good about your judgement and choices
Feeling you have to put everyone else’s needs first Believing in yourself and feeling confident
Worrying what others think of you Taking action, learn and enjoy challenges
Being afraid of being judged Expressing yourself clearly and confidently without worrying what others will think
Being the person you think others want you to be Stopping procrastinating and starting to achieve the things you want in life
Being scared of not fitting in Feeling at ease meeting new people and going into new situations
Feeling guilty if you say no Having the time, energy and motivation for the things you want to do
Being anxious all the time Feeling calm, at ease and in control

What we’ll focus on together in From People Pleasing to Inner Confidence

This programme starts where real change starts — by calming anxiety and your nervous system.

When you feel calmer and safer inside, everything else becomes possible.

Over six months, in a small and carefully held group, you’ll be gently supported to:

  • Learn skills to manage anxiety and quiet the constant pressure in your head
  • Understand why people-pleasing developed — without blame or shame
  • Calm your nervous system so you’re not always in fight-or-flight
  • Let go of guilt about saying no or taking time for yourself
  • Stop fearing what other people think of you
  • Practice new, healthier ways of communicating
  • Feel more confident trusting yourself and your decisions
  • Feel like yourself again — calm, grounded, and free to live differently

Hypnotherapy is used throughout the programme to help embed changes at a deeper level, supporting calm, confidence, and lasting change.

Many women notice by the end

While everyone’s journey is different, many women tell me that by the end of the programme they:

  • Feel calmer and less overwhelmed
  • Are no longer constantly worrying about others’ opinions
  • Can say no without panic or guilt
  • Have more time and energy for themselves
  • Feel more confident trusting their own choices
  • Feel like themselves again — kind, caring, and grounded

This is what inner confidence looks like in real life.

This is for you if you want to develop deep inner confidence and self belief, if you feel that confidence in yourself is something you have to work hard at and you find you’re holding yourself back and if you want a helping hand so you can believe in yourself and flourish at work and in life.

Testimonials

"When I came to see Celia I was depressed and lacking in confidence due to my perfectionism tendencies.  I felt at ease with Celia straightaway and each week I felt my self belief getting stronger as she helped me to reframe my thoughts and gain new perspectives."
"I feel these sessions have really worked for me. I felt low in confidence and was unable to be myself in group situations; even when there were only 3 people present I struggled to communicate effectively.After just a few sessions with Celia I noticed a change. I faced one of my biggest dreads and spoke up with confidence and was able to communicate my points without seeming nervous and hesitant. Other aspects of my life have improved as well.I am so grateful to Celia and would absolutely recommend this programmes. She has a very friendly and engaging style and makes you feel immediately at ease."
"Celia gave me the tools and insight that I needed to tackle the challenges I was facing, and to arm me for the future challenges I know I will face. She is welcoming, practical and gentle, and I totally recommend her services.  Possibly more important though has been the range of tools and strategies for managing anxiety on a day to day basis. I am now optimistic about the future and know that if I continue to apply these techniques, I will continue to make progress.  Thank you Celia for all your help and support."
