This is for you if...

"For me, it has been a really safe, comforting environment to connect with others and not feel so alone in this." ~ Confidence Collective Member

  • Confidence doesn't always feel natural ~ especially in groups, conversations, or when feeling self-conscious
  • You want to improve your public speaking, communication and social skills
  • You overthink and second-guess yourself
  • You want to feel more confident, calm, and grounded
  • You’re doing “okay” on the outside but don’t feel it inside
  • You want support without it feeling clinical or intense

A warm welcome awaits you. We know that walking through the door is often the hardest part, so we prioritise building a supportive community from the very start. We open each session with simple, low-pressure activities to help break the ice. These exercises are designed to settle any nerves and help you feel comfortable connecting with the group at your own pace.

Practice Public Speaking and Social Skills

"One thing that really helped me was simply standing in front of others for one or two minutes. It's something I would always have avoided before, but practising in such a supportive environment has made a real difference." - Confidence Collective Member

The Confidence Collective Club is a monthly gathering for people who want to grow in a real, human way. We focus on practice makes progress rather than perfection.

You can choose how you participate:

  • Low-Pressure Participation: Simply come along to listen, observe, and engage in small-group interactions. It’s a safe, judgment-free space to practice social and communication skills at your own pace.
  • Practice through Performance: For those wanting to stretch themselves, you can book a 5 minute performance slot. Use this time to deliver a pre-prepared presentation or performance, knowing you are in a completely safe and encouraging space.

How it works:

  • Small, supportive group (no pressure to share)
  • Gentle guided exercises and real-life tools
  • Space to reflect, connect, and build confidence at your own pace
  • Leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more grounded

Calm Your Nerves

Our goal is to provide the support you need. We use proven, evidence-based tools to help you soothe anxiety and find a sense of calm connected confidence.

Together, we use a variety of proven tools and gentle techniques, introduced across our sessions to help you practice public speaking, performance and interaction at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Whether you are here to overcome stage fright or simply want to meet new people and develop your social skills, you can grow your toolkit and your real-world confidence right here in Clevedon.

People often leave sessions feeling:

  • More settled and less in their head
  • More confident in handling situations
  • Happier, calmer, and more grounded
  • Reassured they’re not the only one

“I nearly didn’t come, but I’m so glad I did ~ I feel a lot calmer and more like myself again.” ~ Confidence Collective Member

Meet Claire Paul

"Claire creates such a safe, supportive and comforting environment. Thank you for putting so much thought into every session." ~ Confidence Collective Member

She gently weaves in helpful insights and grounding techniques from her psychology background only as needed, while you focus on the real work: exploring, practising, and building authentic confidence through relaxed, low-pressure experience.

In these 90-minute sessions, the focus is on your progress in a warm, supportive environment ~ no spotlights, no pressure to perform or speak ~ just space to use in whatever way feels right for you. Come to practise as much or as little as you like; the group evolves together.

What a Typical Session Looks Like

  • Warm Welcome & Icebreakers: Settle in with lighthearted activities designed to put you at ease and help you connect with others.
  • Friendly Supportive Connection: An opportunity to practise social skills through calm, low-pressure interaction in pairs or small groups.
  • Performance & Practice (Optional): An opportunity to take the spotlight for public speaking, a musical performance, or any other talent ~ or simply stay as an active audience member.
  • Tools for Calm: Practical techniques are drip-fed into our sessions over time, providing you with a growing set of skills to use whenever you need them most.
  • Closing Circle: Reflect on the session and connect as a group.
  • Optional Social: Stick around for a casual cuppa or drinks afterwards ~ it’s a great way to build confidence in a relaxed, social setting.

"I always enjoy the introduction, practising techniques together, and then having opportunities to speak."

~ Confidence Collective Member

Flexible attendance

You are welcome to attend as many or as few sessions as fit your schedule. Whether you want to perform, practice speaking or just observe, please get in touch beforehand to reserve your place as space is limited.

Benefits of the Confidence Collective

  • Small Groups for a Comfortable Feel: Participant numbers are limited to ensure a supportive environment and to make it possible for everyone to feel seen and supported.
  • A Club That Grows With You: The Confidence Collective values your suggestions to shape our gatherings, ensuring the sessions stay flexible and meet the needs of the group.
  • Your Confidence Journey: The club provides ongoing support and opportunities for growth, empowering you to build real-world confidence and become a more natural communicator at your own 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
