Introducing Graduate Confidence Online. The online course dedicated to helping recently graduated veterinary surgeons grow in confidence and thrive in veterinary practice.

Whether you work with companion animals, on farms, with horses or more exotic species this course can help you to feel more comfortable in your new veterinary skin.

If you want to kick your career off with the right mindset. If you want to learn how to prevent overthinking, rumination, self-doubt and negative self talk. If you want to learn the skills to deal with stress and anxiety and follow a framework proven to help prevent burnout, then this unique course is designed especially for you. 

Have you doubted your ability to be a good vet because you struggled during your surgical or medical rotations? Perhaps seeing practice was difficult for you either due to a lack of confidence, poor placement or difficulties accessing good mentors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It is these skills that we teach in this unique and ground-breaking course.

What is Confidence Coaching?

Confidence coaching is coaching and therapy service dedicated to helping veterinarians improve their surgical, clinical and client communication confidence and actively manage their workplace stress and anxiety. 

Vets are skilled professionals and along with other elite performers such as musicians, athletes and performance artists. Vets can experience periods of anxiety associated with performing certain aspects of their role.

Whilst some level of anxiety in veterinary practice is normal. Those who experience high levels of stress, or prolonged anxiety before during and after their working day can benefit from coaching to help them explore the reasons behind this and practical techniques to reduce their stress and increase their confidence.

Veterinary confidence coaching will help you learn and put in place techniques to actively manage your anxiety as it appears. We help vets like you to improve your performance and decrease your feelings of discomfort, dread and overwhelm. Thus helping you to better serve your patients and realise your value to your team.

Our coaches only use proven techniques (evaluated in peer reviewed, randomised control studies) to help reduce performance related anxiety and stress. These same techniques have been proven to increase job satisfaction, career longevity and personal well-being.

Please note: This is a coaching course and no surgical or clinical techniques will be taught. The information provided however will be veterinary environment specific. All techniques taught will be directly applicable to your role as a veterinary surgeon.

I am loving this course. I'm able to do it in my own time yet remain highly motivated by the bitesize lessons, homework and answering questions to help reflect without feeling like a boring forced reflection. I was looking for tools to manage stress, emotions and self inflicted pressure etc in the working context so would also recommend this course to those with surgery worries, or work specific worries! ~ Charlotte M

I seriously thought it was just me. That my negative feelings around surgery made me a BAD surgeon. In reality I was doing fine. I just couldn't see it and was making things worse for myself. 

The coaching has really changed the way I think and feel. Thanks!

My anxiety gets better each day. I no longer ruminate on potential outcomes and can discharge patients without the 'what if' feelings that used to plague my evenings.
