Meet Claire Paul
You’re in safe, kind hands here. Claire Paul (Hons, MSc, Dip. Hyp, Dip. LC/PC) is a Psychology Professional, Hypnotherapist, and Performance & Life Coach with over 20 years supporting people through performance anxiety and social nerves. She gently facilitates every Confidence Collective Club session.
The real heart of the club is you and the group ~ it is always participant-led and centered on practice. With over 20 years of experience, Claire’s role is to hold a safe, expertly-held space so you can grow at your own comfortable pace.

The Confidence Journal ~ A Tangible Record of Your Progress
Every participant receives a dedicated journal during their first session. Research shows that the act of writing cements new learning and physically shifts your perspective. This private space is yours to:
- Record successes and celebrate "micro-wins" that might otherwise go unnoticed
- Capture insights and any techniques that resonate with you during the sessions
- Rewire your inner dialogue by creating a tangible record of your progress, moving from self-doubt to self-acceptance
