The learning environment
The five F’s….
The course has to be a space that offers five indispensable things:
Focus
Feedback
Fun
Friendliness
inFormation
The course is prepared with a lot of attention to specific aspects of presenting and selling yourself, so that the day feels purposeful and targeted. This helps avoid being too general or ‘woolly’.
During the day you will get postive feedback from course members and from us: your strengths and successes will be noticed and welcomed, and you will be given clear indications of areas you may wish to pay attention to, change, or refine. You’ll get more than one chance to do this, as the day progresses.
None of the above is useful if the group does not feel friendly, so we pay attention from the first moment of the course to helping group members feel comfortable and accepted, so we can all work well together on areas that may feel like a considerable challenge before you walked through the door. And, the best learning is done if there’s some fun!
Situations addressed on the course will include:
Promoting yourself
Presenting to a group (including, if you wish, a pitch to get a job)
On experiential learning:
”Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

About Us
From 1991 to 2001 I spent a long time training in counselling, co-counselling and psychotherapy, going to all sorts of groups and courses, getting my own therapy, and working as a therapist in both the NHS and in charities.
Since 2001 I have been in private practice as a counsellor and psychotherapist, seeing individuals who come to see me for all sorts of reasons: it’s an infinitely interesting and fruitful job, the kind that if I won the lottery, I’d still want to do it.
In 2011, I set up Confidence Tracks to embrace the courses in confidence-building and co-counselling that I have now been running for several years.
Here’s the formal bit about me:
