CONFIDENCE. BELONGING. COMMUNITY

We help young people build real self-esteem — the kind that stays with you once the mask comes off.


Confident InsideOut works with young people aged 16–24 who've had to be strong before they were ready — and who deserve space to just be themselves.

YOUNG REFUGEES

Rebuilding a sense of self in a new country, on your own terms

LGBTQIA+ young people

A community where you don't have to explain or edit who you are.

Minority communities

Support that starts from your experience, not despite it.


Most of us wear a mask to get through the day — the version of ourselves we think is safer to show. Our work starts by naming that mask, gently, and asking what's underneath it.We use tools from coaching, CBT, and NLP, shaped around lived experience rather than theory alone. No two people wear the same mask, so no two journeys look the same.

💜 A little more about the person behind the community… 💜Hello, I’m Francesca, the founder of Confident InsideOut CIC.Before creating this community, my journey took me through the worlds of makeup and film — creative spaces that taught me so much about people, identity and the different roles we sometimes play.🎬 From makeup and film…Working in creative environments gave me the opportunity to see how much can exist behind what people see on the outside.Sometimes, we present one version of ourselves to the world while feeling something completely different inside.And perhaps that is one of the reasons I became so passionate about confidence, self-esteem and being able to feel comfortable as ourselves.💜 Why confidence matters to meI don't believe confidence is about becoming louder, more successful or someone else entirely.For me, confidence is about feeling more comfortable being yourself.It's about recognising your value, trusting your voice and knowing that you don't have to change who you are to deserve to take up space.That is at the heart of what I hope to build through Confident InsideOut CIC.🌍 Languages are part of my storyI believe connection starts with feeling understood.Growing up speaking Italian and building my life in the UK has taught me how much language, culture and identity can shape the way we experience the world — and how powerful it can be to feel truly understood.🇮🇹 Italian — fluent / native
🇬🇧 English — fluent
🇪🇸 Spanish — basic
As Confident InsideOut CIC grows, I hope to create spaces where people from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences feel welcome, understood and able to express themselves.As Confident InsideOut CIC grows, I hope to continue creating a community that feels welcoming to people from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences.🌱 I believe we're always growingI don't believe you need to have everything figured out before you begin something meaningful.I am building this community while continuing to grow and learn myself.Because confidence isn't about reaching a point where you have all the answers.Sometimes, it's about taking the next step even when you're still learning, still growing and still discovering who you are.It's okay to be a work in progress. We all are.🎥 I love storytellingMy connection with the film world will probably always be part of my story.I believe the stories we tell — especially the stories we tell ourselves — can shape how we see who we are.Sometimes, we hold on to stories that tell us we're not good enough, not confident enough or not ready yet.But what if those stories could change?What if we could begin to rewrite them with more kindness, confidence and truth?💜 This is just the beginningConfident InsideOut CIC is still at the beginning of its journey.But every community starts somewhere.My hope is to create a space where people can connect, grow, explore their confidence and remember that they don't have to do it all alone.This is a little more about my story.And as this community grows, I hope there will be space for yours too. 💜
