Self-Esteem & Confidence Building
We all have the ability to become more assertive and confident even if we have trouble believing this at times. Too many of us struggle in relationships and in the workplace with self-esteem issues. How we feel about ourselves i.e. whether we have high, moderate or low self-esteem determines our ability to be assertive (rather than aggressive!) as well as confident.
How we relate to other people, make decisions and choices, how we think, how to feel, and how we behave all depends on our self-esteem.
Our personal development course offers a range of practical and effective techniques, as well as informative material, designed to help you build and improve you esteem, to believe in yourself, and enjoy a happy, fulfilling life.
Course facilitators: Clinic Manager Debbie Hegarty & therapist Mervyn Hosford.
