Confidence, Communication & Boundaries

You may find it easy to advocate for others but difficult to do the same for yourself. Saying no can feel risky, and even small moments of honesty can bring guilt, fear, or the sense you’re being “too much.” Over time, this can lead to frustration, disconnection, and the quiet feeling that you’ve lost your voice.

In therapy, we work on developing confident and flexible self-expression — so you can communicate needs and boundaries clearly, without guilt or aggression. Using evidence-based CBT, we identify the thoughts and emotional patterns that keep you in cycles of people-pleasing, passivity, or conflict avoidance.

You’ll learn practical skills to:

• Recognise when you’re silencing yourself to maintain peace

• Communicate assertively while staying grounded and calm

• Set boundaries that protect your energy and relationships

• Build confidence that isn’t dependent on approval

This is structured work with room for reflection — helping you move from anxious accommodation to calm, confident communication. Over time, you’ll feel more able to express what you need and believe it’s okay to take up space.
