Leona Lewis is set to undergo a series of therapy sessions to help her overcome her crippling confidence issues.

The Bleeding Love singer is due to embark on a massive, 14-month tour later this year — and has turned to famous hypnotist Paul McKenna ahead of global gigs to ensure her nerves are kept at bay.

“Seeing as Leona is on the path to becoming a global touring powerhouse, no corners will be cut,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.

“She already has bags more poise and confidence than she used to but she’s a natural born worrier.

“Bosses at SyCo want to make sure her performance is as perfect and polished as an artist who has been around for years.”

Lewis has admitted her lack of confidence in the past.

The X Factor winner said that unlike many of her famous counterparts, she’s too shy to strip off on camera. “I wouldn’t do that,” she said. “I’m not against it, I just don’t have the confidence to stand there in a bra and knickers.”
