Coaching & Mentoring Sessions

All sessions are subject to a FREE Discovery Call and Initial Session at my standard rate. Blocks can then be booked in advance or sessions can be paid for as and when able to attend. 

Coaching Sessions ages 8 - 12

These sessions are specifically for young clients aged 8 - 12. There are usually 6-8 sessions based on a topic/topics centered on what's going on for the child.

 

It is my role to facilitate targeted sessions on these topics in creative and innovative ways to help them explore their thoughts and feelings to help them move forward.

 

These sessions are booked in advance at a regular set time to enable young clients to get the best from coaching. After an introductory meeting, we establish how many sessions will be needed going forward.

 

These sessions take place in the clients' home in a room away from distractions.

Coaching Sessions ages 12 - 25

These sessions are available for those aged 12 and over based on a topic or topics chosen by the child/young person. Once established, I will suggest a schedule of sessions that can be booked ahead of time as a block or per session. 

All coaching sessions are best done in person but can be over the phone or via Teams when needed. 

If aged 12-16, sessions would normally take place at the clients' home in a room away from distractions.

Over 17's sessions can be a little more creative. We might meet in a coffee shop,  a museum or go for a walk. I like to find fun ways to hold coaching sessions to help clients feel at ease.

SEND Sessions ages 8 - 25

If it is expressed a client has a disability or specific need, no matter the age, I can adapt our sessions to help you get the best from coaching.

 

I specialise in Autism and associated conditions such as ADHD and have many years experience with other disabilities both seen and unseen, so I'm happy to arrange these sessions in a way that works for the client. 

 

For ages 8 -12, sessions will be at home booked in advance for a set number of sessions.

Ages 12-16 sessions will be at home but can be for a set number of sessions or as and when able.

Over 17's can be in the community as long as appropriate to need, or at home, whichever is best.

  Parent Sessions

Parents and carers are always welcome to get in contact with questions or queries whether or not their child is a client of mine. 

Whilst sessions with young clients are confidential, an overall basis on what we might be covering can be given to parents/carers to offer better insight into what to cover when I'm not there. 

Parents and carers are welcomed to book in a session where we can talk about topics affecting their child, resources can be shared and pointers given to help tackle the issues head on in a positive and trauma informed way at home. 

When up and running, my Parent Corner will be a space for parents and carers to find some helpful information, sign posting and to ask questions.

Sessions and Confidentiality

Coaching and mentoring sessions are confidential. I don't share the details of our sessions to parents/carers unless young people want me to. I can share a basic overview for parents/carers for insight and understanding and offer parent sessions to offer support, guidance and resources to help ongoing support.

 

Confidentiality is only broken in specific circumstances which are shared openly and fully supported by myself.
