If you’re struggling with stage fright, agoraphobia, shyness, low self-esteem, or challenges with sports focus - whether on the golf course, in the riding arena, on the track, or the soccer field - and you’ve tried standard techniques without lasting change, it may be time to explore a powerful mind-body approach.
At CE-Hypnosis, we offer a personalised hypnotherapy program designed to help you to a powerful change. Through focused relaxation and subconscious reprogramming, you can release anxiety, enhance self-belief, and strengthen your ability to perform with calm precision and natural confidence.
For performance or confidence issues related to deeper emotional roots, this is effective change work - helping you retrain your mind for lasting balance and focus.
What can CE-hypnosis help address?
Stagefright and nerves
If you’ve been searching for hypnotherapy for stage fright, hypnosis for performance nerves, natural ways to overcome fear of public speaking, or mind–body techniques to feel calmer before performing - you’re definitely in the right place.
With gentle, evidence-based hypnotherapy, you’ll learn how to reduce stage anxiety, calm pre-performance nerves, and build steady inner confidence whether you’re stepping onto a stage, giving a presentation, playing music, or giving a speech.
We focus on releasing the tight, anxious loop that triggers shaky hands, racing thoughts, or loss of focus. You’ll train your nervous system to respond with stability, clarity, and inner calm - so you can perform with confidence, trust your abilities, and feel in control even in high-pressure moments.
This is long-lasting change work, helping you overcome stage fright, reduce performance anxiety, and create a calmer, more resilient response every time you face an audience of any kind.
Shyness and low self-esteem
If you’ve been searching for hypnotherapy for shyness, hypnosis for low self-esteem, or natural ways to feel more confident in social situations - welcome to new possibilities.
With a grounded, scientifically supported hypnotherapy approach, you’ll learn how to quiet self-doubt, calm social anxiety, and rebuild inner confidence - whether you struggle with speaking up, meeting new people, or feeling secure around others.
We work on softening the inner criticism, easing the fear of judgement, and strengthening your sense of worth so your system can respond with more ease, self-trust, and emotional balance - helping you feel comfortable in yourself, more open in conversations, and grounded in who you are.
Sports focus and performance
If you’ve been searching for hypnotherapy for sports performance, hypnosis for athletic focus, or mental training methods used by elite athletes and top CEOs - you’re in the right place.
Through a steady, proven mind–body hypnotherapy technique, you’ll learn how to sharpen concentration, regulate your nervous system, and access your optimal performance state - whether you’re competing on the golf course, in the riding arena, on the track, or stepping into any high-pressure situation.
We work on improving mental clarity, reducing performance anxiety, and optimising muscle memory so your movements become smoother, more automatic, and more reliable under pressure.
You’ll train your mind and body to work together - building the calm, focused precision that high achievers depend on - helping you stay present, perform consistently, and reach your true potential with confidence and stability.
Why hypnotherapy to optimise the inner game of peak performance
Even top performers around the world - from elite athletes to successful CEOs - rely on mental training (and hypnotherapy) to stay focused, calm and confident under pressure. They know that stage fright, shyness, low self-esteem, sports performance and even muscle-memory consistency are shaped by the powerful connection between mind and body.
Your brain, nervous system and muscles constantly communicate, influencing timing, coordination, confidence and emotional stability. When stress, self-doubt or past experiences interfere with this flow, the body can tighten, lose rhythm, blank out or slip out of its natural performance state.
At CE-Hypnosis, sessions are tailored to address the emotional, cognitive and physiological triggers behind performance blocks - whether they appear on stage, in social situations or in sports. With a calm, well-supported hypnotherapy approach, your system begins to self-regulate again: nerves settle, focus sharpens, shyness softens and muscle memory becomes more automatic, steady and dependable under pressure.
Whether you struggle with stage fright, social inhibition, low self-esteem, fear of failing in front of others, inconsistent sports results, loss of concentration or difficulty accessing your optimal state, hypnotherapy offers a comfortable, long-term result method to retrain your nervous system and build the inner stability that even high-level performers rely on every day.
You’ll be supported in a respectful, professional environment where your existing training, personality and goals are fully honoured - while the underlying emotional, behavioural and subconscious patterns are approached with clarity, precision and effectiveness to make the changes you have asked for.
Nervousness changed - honestly wow!
I am extremely grateful for the life-changing help I have received. Getting rid of my anger, nervousness, and constant self-criticism has truly transformed my life for the better.
Previous feelings of frustration and insecurity have been replaced with calmness, some humour and a new self-confidence that not only I notice, but also my family. They can really see the positive difference in my behavior, and it has contributed to a completely different, much more positive atmosphere at home.
Now, I can conduct meetings and presentations with a calmness and focus that I never thought was possible before. Being able to socialize and interact with others without being weighed down by poor self-esteem is truly liberating. This has not only improved my personal but also my professional everyday life.
Thank you so much for this invaluable help. It has made my life so much easier, and I am truly grateful for this change. And honestly - wow!

What does an Hypnotherapy session look like?
Working together at CE-Hypnosis is gentle, professional, and personal. You remain in control at all times - aware, and safe.
1. Conversation & mapping:
We explore your story, typical triggers and view possible short term goals and longterm goals.
2. Guided hypnotic relaxation:
You remain aware and in charge while the body settles into a receptive state many describe as “comfortable, rested but focused.” Which also is very healthy for your mind and body.
3. The therapy work:
From the mapping (the therapy work itself) to using many different tools to make changes whilst you are comfortable relaxed.
4. Response re-learning:
We use targeted suggestions and sensory imagery to re-pair familiar triggers with new interpretations, so your system practices staying steady.
5. Visualization & suggestive support:
Visuals (e.g. different scenarios) and suggestions are used to reinforce new response patterns.

Measure what’s changing, and optimize your path forward in your pace.
PS. Camilla is a former Manager, Athletic trainer, golfer and horse riding. Already changed lives especially within golf and with horses.
While conscious, talk-based therapy works mainly through rational understanding and discussion, hypnotherapy engages both the conscious and subconscious mind - the part of you that runs emotional, automatic, and habitual responses.
This difference often makes change faster, deeper, and more natural.
Lecture and singing performance anxiety
I've sought your assistance for performance anxiety in situations where I have to present something in front of a group of people, as well as for my anxiety and intense tension following a stressful relationship.
You've helped me in two sessions a few months ago. Since then, there's been a noticeable improvement in my voice and the tension surrounding my singing and performances.
Among other things, I "spontaneously" gave a lecture at my workplace with just a day's notice and carried out several solo performances. I still get nervous to some extent, but it now feels more like a "passionate nervousness" that also contains a lot of energy and vitality.
My voice has regained its natural place in my body rather than in my throat. I've found a better placement and feel more playful.
A thousand thanks for all of this!
Warm regards and best wishes with everything!
Satisfied client.
Effective change in communication and self-confidence
For most of my adult life, I found it difficult to express my thoughts clearly. In conversations I often held back, and in social situations I felt tense and unsure of myself. Speaking in front of others at work was the worst, I had trouble expressing my ideas and views and I always walked away frustrated and angry with myself that I hadn’t expressed my suggestions clear and properly.
Working with Camilla changed this in a way I didn’t expect. After just three sessions, the shift was unmistakable. I started feeling more grounded, more present and far more comfortable using my own voice. Social situations now feel natural instead of draining, and giving my opinion no longer triggers that old issue. I could easily express views and ideas and this has been an advantage to the company too.
Most importantly, I don’t feel like I’m in the background anymore. I feel capable, steady and genuinely confident - like I finally belong at the same level as everyone else.
It’s not an exaggeration to say these sessions have transformed how I show up in both my personal and professional life.

Finally free from imposter syndrome
I’d struggled for years with feeling like I wasn’t good enough - apparently classic imposter syndrome, even though I didn’t call it that. No matter what I achieved, there was always that nagging doubt in the background. I over-prepared, second-guessed myself and never really felt confident.
After two sessions with Camilla, everything shifted. The constant self-doubt eased, and I started seeing my strengths clearly. I stepped into conversations and decisions with calm and confidence instead of hesitation or frustration.
The pressure is gone. I trust my abilities, I speak up, and I’ve stopped comparing myself to everyone else. For the first time in a long time, I feel solid, capable and grounded.
The third session was a perfect fine-tuning.
This entire process has reset how I see myself - and how I manage in my work and life.

The Mind-Body possibilities with Hypnotherapy
Your confidence and performance is more than a personality trait. It’s shaped by your nervous system, your past experiences and the patterns your mind has repeated for years. When stress rises, confidence drops - making it harder to express opinions, perform socially, stay calm under pressure or deliver consistently in sports. Low self-esteem, shyness, imposter thoughts, performance anxiety and sports performance blocks all come from the same mind–body loop. Hypnotherapy works by calming the overactive threat system and installing healthier patterns of self-belief, control and expression and muscle memory.
Hypnotherapy offers a direct way to restore balance within this internal system.
In a relaxed hypnotic state, the body’s fight-or-flight response softens and the brain’s ability to focus, communicate and perform re-engages. Through targeted imagery and positive suggestion, clients learn to trust their own voice, ease shyness, handle pressure and access steady, reliable performance - whether in conversations, on stage or in athletic environments.
Clinical findings on hypnotherapy for confidence, performance anxiety and sports enhancement show measurable improvements in self-worth, cognitive control, motor coordination, focus, emotional regulation and execution under pressure. These same mechanisms help people whose challenges with speaking, social confidence or athletic performance are influenced by stress, old patterns or subconscious protective reactions.
Imposter syndrome - Hypnotherapy quiets the inner critic, rewrites outdated beliefs and replaces the automatic “not enough” response with grounded confidence and clarity.
Low self-esteem & shyness - By shifting internal narratives and soothing stress-driven reactions, hypnotherapy helps clients feel secure, capable and comfortable being seen, heard and taking space.
Sports performance - Hypnotherapy helps athletes access calm focus, stable muscle memory, better timing and consistent execution by reducing overthinking and performance nerves, allowing the body to perform at its trained level.
Performance anxiety (lectures, presentations, singing, meetings) - Hypnotherapy supports steadiness under pressure so your voice, thoughts and presence stay clear and accessible.
When the mind and body begin working together rather than against each other, confidence and performance follow - naturally, consistently and with ease.
At CE-hypnosis we use a client-centred, integrative hypnotherapy approach (the CE-Method) that blends clinical hypnosis, imagery, habit-repatterning and self-empowerment. Book a session and we’ll map your issues, identify triggers and craft a path toward.
(Sessions available online for clients in Australia, NZ and worldwide. On-site in Sweden, Nordic countries is possible.
Don’t take our word for it - take theirs.

Research and studies supporting hypnotherapy, mental training for Performance issues
Across all these areas — sports, performance, communication, social confidence and self-worth — research points to the same thing:
When the nervous system becomes calmer, the mind performs better.
And when the mind performs better, confidence becomes natural.
Hypnotherapy helps create that shift.
