Self-confidence workbook
How to build your confidence, experience genuine self-belief, and be more compassionate with yourself over time.
How this workbook approaches confidence-building
Coaching with me follows a clear structure, but it’s not rigid or linear. We roughly follow these stages within a session, and across the coaching progress as a whole - but we jump around them too as new insights and learning come in.
Between sessions, you’ll take actions that match your goals and capacity: sometimes small experiments, sometimes bigger steps than you thought were possible. We review what happened together so you can see what’s working, make adjustments and keep momentum.
Mind & body together
Setting goals can be a nightmare when you’re neurodivergent. You can’t decide, or it’s hard to believe you can actually get there because you’ve failed in the past. We take all of that into account and spend time finding out what you really want and how you can actually get there this time.
Compassion creates confidence
We look closely at what’s been holding you back or keeping you stuck; getting specific and realistic about the obstacles through the lens of neurodivergence. We also get clear on your neurodivergent traits and how they’re impacting you.
Creating new ways forward
During sessions we think together on your goals, and our conversations surface new insights and possibilities. Sometimes the focus is your inner world - shifting beliefs or perspectives, for example. At other times we’re designing practical steps towards your goals that feel sustainable and achievable.
Reviewing, adjusting and integrating
As you take action, we pay attention to your mind and body states. We celebrate progress, reflect on strengths, and anchor new beliefs about what’s possible. Transformation happens when we focus not just on what you got done, but on who you’re becoming in the process.
How a lack of confidence shows up
Feeling like an imposter, not certain of your skills or capability
Thinking you’re a fake (and nobody else is)
Fear about the future – ‘what-if’ scenarios
Not noticing, or fully internalising, your own achievements
Taking for granted what you’re good at – “That’s easy, everyone can do that”
Comparing yourself to what people are sharing publicly about themselves (and forgetting that’s not the whole story).

Christina's approach is kind, considered and non-judgemental. It has been truly enlightening being able to connect to someone else with a similar neurological wiring! I can honestly say I took something away from each session that I’ll carry forward in my life, and it's made an incredible difference to me. I needed someone to validate my feelings from the aspect of neurodivergence, and I now feel like I know myself a lot better.

Christina helped me deepen my understanding of the beliefs that were standing in the way of success - beliefs that I can now see as something of the past. I’m moving forward with more awareness and a changed perspective. The work with Christina was really deep and fulfilling, she listened and held the space and directed the process to a fruitful end. She is a highly capable coach who provides a calm, safe and professional space.

Christina has a lovely warm style when coaching. Her use of the right question as well as silence, gives you time and space to think, which helps you find your solutions. I highly recommend Christina as your Coach!
