Student Coaching
The Confidence Clinic has been coaching teenagers who are suffering with exam stress and lack of motivation to study for over 7 years. We have been running Exam Stress & Study Motivation Workshops in numerous Secondary Schools since 2015. In 2020, The Confidence Clinic was unable to run these workshops, due to Covid-19 restrictions. We are currently offering an on-line Teen Talk Workshop, which will address many of the issues that are coming up again & again in personal coaching sessions. This workshop is suitable for all secondary school students, including Junior Cert & Leaving Cert Students . For more information, see our Upcoming Events page!
What we will cover:


Our workshop will include:
A powerpoint presentation, practical exercises, discussion, a short Q&A session and ends with a relaxing guided meditation. Our powerpoint presentation is available to participants after the event.
Standard Ticket = €90
Premium Tickets
A premium ticket includes access to the Teen Talk workshop, plus 2 x one-to-one coaching sessions to allow a detailed and in-depth discussion about what is holding the person back. Many times this is related to our own inner talk and self-sabotaging behaviour. A one-to-one coaching session lasts 1 hour and will be by appointment. All coaching sessions will be on-line until restrictions are lifted.
