Becoming More Self-Confident: For Yourself and Your Clients
Duration: 3 hours
This interactive three-hour workshop is designed for professionals to help you strengthen your own self-confidence, while developing practical strategies to support confidence-building in your clients.
What the workshop will cover
Participants will:
- Explore practical and evidence-informed ways of understanding low self-confidence — both personally and in client work — drawing on insights from neuroscience, trauma-informed approaches, and BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT).
- Develop a clear conceptual framework for working with confidence issues.
- Learn a range of practical tools and structured interventions that can be applied immediately in both personal development and professional practice.
- Practise key techniques in a safe, supportive learning environment.
- Tools and techniques included
During the session, we will introduce and practise:
- The Pause Intervention – building awareness and interrupting unhelpful patterns
- The Solution-Focused Model – shifting attention toward strengths and preferred futures
- The SHINE Model – a structured framework for developing confidence
- The Swish Intervention – reshaping internal representations
- The Future Memory Intervention – strengthening confident future self-imagery
- The ‘Crazy Eight’ Model – expanding flexible thinking and behavioural options
This workshop is practical, experiential, and designed to leave you with immediately usable tools — whether for personal growth or for enhancing your work with clients.
Whether you work in a community or corporate setting, are a sole trader or are a manager of a large team, you will learn skills to use in your everyday working and personal life.
