“Confidence can build. When I started, doing five minutes in front of a crowd was terrifying. Within five years, gigging to hundreds was fun and, by eight or nine, thousands was fine. Now I’ll happily walk out in front of any size crowd and it’s not a problem. “I’ve also learned that having confidence about one thing doesn’t mean you’ve got it about everything. Standing in front strangers and performing has never been a problem, but if someone tells me off or I get in trouble, all of it ebbs away. I’m still terrified of bungee jumping or sky-diving, but maybe if I did those things enough, after a few years I’d be ok.”

The Life Coach
Anna Williamson is the new celebrity dating agent for E4’s Celebs Go Dating. “To me, confidence is about being content. Inner contentment is hugely powerful at helping you feel grounded and self-confident. I have definitely had a massive journey with my own confidence and self-esteem – from a super shy child that would hide behind my mum’s skirt, to where I am now as a life coach, counsellor and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) practitioner – the change has been monumental. Having an anxiety disorder didn’t help my confidence for a time, but managing that successfully brought a new sense of acceptance and confidence; confidence that I am strong and to listen to what my mind and body needs.
