Welcome to Confidence in Kids (CIK)
I help children and adults boost their confidence, build morale and self esteem for school interviews, presentations and public speeches all in a calm and happy environment
Confidence is key…now and for your future
CIK is all about building a child’s confidence and self esteem, teaching skills in order for the child/adult (7 plus) to be more resilient, self reliant and happy, especially within a school, university interview or work environment. I look to take away a pupils anxiety and stress so that they feel more empowered and vocal all within a fun, safe, relaxed and nurturing environment.
I also work with many back to work mothers/fathers who have mastered their profession yet for one reason or another have lost a bit of their confidence and need a little boost to help once again achieve their full potential in the work place.
As a mother of three grown up boys and having worked with hundreds of children, I have learnt that all children are unique and special. A child develops at their own individual pace, testing and questioning life as they grow but one thing is for sure…a happy child is a confident child and confidence is key.
My one-to-one sessions take place at my home in St Johns Wood or at the client’s and I also offer Google Meet calls for clients living further afield.
I am DBS checked, worked as a Childline volunteer counselor for three years and for the NSPCC as a volunteer in the state and private school sector, running workshops and presentations for secondary schools.
Please take a look at my glowing testimonials.
I look forward to hearing from you.

5☆ “Her advice is so valuable”
Nadine is a force of nature and has taught me so much and my son adored his session with her. We have all learnt so much and her advice is so valuable.
Anne-Marie - Mother
5☆ “Kind and enthusiastic”
I can highly recommend Nadine. She has done sessions with both my children building confidence and supporting interview preparation. Her kind and enthusiastic approach is infectious. Both my children found the interview process for the schools they sat most enjoyable because of Nadine.
Many thanks
Sue - mother
5☆ “Enjoyable and really helpful”
Nadine has done a couple of sessions with both of my children before their interviews which they found enjoyable and really helpful. She does not guide their answers - there is no right or wrong - but gives them confidence to develop opinions and express themselves clearly. Well worthwhile!
Helen – Mother
5☆ “Highly recommend”
Nadine helped two of my sons for interview practice. She was great at building confidence for interview and well practised as she has been through a lot of children who are sitting for competitive London schools. I would highly recommend her.
Simone – Mother
5☆ “Really impressed”
Nadine helped my 14 yr old daughter prepare for her Drama Scholarship. Nadine gave her a real spark of confidence and resilience, along with belief in her own ability. My daughter loved the two sessions and was really impressed with how Nadine "got" her immediately, encouraged her and showed her how to bring out the best of herself. She was awarded the scholarship.

5☆ “Offered a place at a top London Day School”
Nadine has been wonderful with my 11 year old son, she helped prepare him for interviews for senior schools. She taught him how to improve his posture and eye contact, as well as speak intelligibly. He arrived quite relaxed at his interview and was finally offered a place at a top London day school.
