HOW DOES IT WORK
My style of coaching is relaxed, creative and intended to aide a young person to work through their challenges with a more positive mindset.
For parents/carers, mentoring sessions offer insight into the issue/s affecting their child and ways in which to approach it at home in healthy, productive ways.
Sessions last 60 minutes and take place in person or online at request.
I am specialised in coaching children and young people with SEND needs. I adapt sessions to suit the individual to ensure they are as comfortable as possible.
All sessions are confidential.
