Feel you lack confidence because you’re quiet, reserved, shy or an introvert?
Learn how to say “goodbye” to inhibitions and self-consciousness and develop a natural self-confidence that feels like the real you through my London based confidence building courses
Because it’s not just the out-going, go-getting socialites that get along in this world.
Natural Self-Confidence
My name is Claire Schrader, and I am living proof that an introvert need not live on the sidelines.
I started out in life as the proverbial wallflower – until I hit upon a way to break out of my shell and acquire some of the skills that extroverted people naturally have .
I developed The Sunflower Effect™, a highly effective confidence-building system, based on what worked for me and the hundreds of people who have participated in my courses, using an adapted form of drama.
Many of my clients had been struggling with these issues for years and had tried practically everything else before they discovered the Sunflower Effect™
Lack confidence because you’re too shy, self-conscious or anxious?
I spent the first part of my life being too shy. I was acutely self-conscious and felt as if I was trapped in a box. I was always on the sidelines, watching other people participating and enjoying themselves. I desperately wanted to get out of that box and join them. But I didn’t know how.

What people say about my courses
I had been suffering from social anxiety from a very young age. I had tried CBT, anger management therapy, hypnotherapy, past life regression therapy and went to see many psychologists but nothing really helped me. The change and progress I made through the Breakthrough Course was absolutely priceless. This was the first ever programme that actually managed to bring about a change in me unlike every single other therapy programme that I had joined before.
Stefan Baumann, student, August 2016 Verified review from Hotcourses
By the end of the course I could really tell I’d made a massive shift. I feel like I’m a lot more authentic and accepting of myself with less feelings of being inferior and needing to hide my true self. For me this course truly was a lifeline.
Elizabeth G, graphic designer, May 2013
Having tried multiple variations of therapy, most of which came at a very high price, I found Claire, the course and the group, one of the most effective ways to help manage my anxiety. I find myself now, much more confident in trusting my instinct and knowing what to say…It’s been 20 years of dealing with a common thread of negative self talk so thank you Claire, for helping me shift something that once seemed impossible.
