What happens prior to a confidence and self-esteem intervention?

Confidence and self-esteem interventions can be carried out once we have had an initial discussion, please see the process we follow below.

What happens during a confidence and self-esteem intervention?

During a confidence and self-esteem intervention, the child or young person will often learn about confidence and self-esteem: what they are, how they can be influenced by different factors and how this can have an impact on how we feel. If the individual’s confidence or self-esteem is linked to specific situations or events, this can be addressed during sessions. Similarly, if the child or young person requires a boost of confidence, then this can be the focus of the sessions. The individual will be encouraged by a HSR Psychology professional to adapt their perspective of a situation through reframing (viewing something in a different way) and confidence-boosting techniques. The young person will be given the opportunity to reflect on how different confidence-boosting techniques affect them. Confidence and self-esteem interventions can be carried out in the home, in school or in the community.

What happens after a confidence and self-esteem intervention?

After a confidence and self-esteem intervention the individual will be able to use techniques for reshaping their thoughts to increase confidence and self-esteem. Following a confidence and self-esteem intervention it may be appropriate that we conduct a follow-up session. Outcomes from a confidence and self-esteem intervention can be provided through a brief written report, or a feedback session.

Does a confidence and self-esteem intervention come with a report?

A written report can be given following a confidence and self-esteem intervention which will highlight how the individual can use techniques to improve their confidence and self-esteem. We always recommend a report following an intervention, which will include what took place, the impact of our involvement and recommendations for the future. A report from a confidence and self-esteem intervention can be used for many reasons, such as; personal use, school use, or evidence of input. Read more about our reports.
