Youth Coaching

Happiness is an inside job​

​

Coaching can be an empowering experience which puts the young person in the driving seat: supported to find answers from within themselves and equipping them with skills for life.

​

The process encourages personal development: identifying the thinking or behaviours that are holding them back, helping them to see things differently and in doing so offering fresh possibilities, clarity and solutions to move forward.

​

As a mum of teens and a secondary school guidance  teacher with responsibility for pastoral and curricular care, I have seen the benefits of coaching.

​

​

Coaching can help your teen to:

​

Realise their potential

• ​discover potential and goal set to achieve it

• understand emotions and manage reactions 

• explore values/purpose - find out what's important to them

Manage​ overwhelm, anxiety or stress

• manage expectations, pressure, stress and be more resourceful

• gain fresh perspective - see possibilities and opportunities

• identify needs and discuss worries

Take ownership of their ​action plan ​

• navigate difficult situations/failure with creative problem solving

• develop confidence and motivation in your own decision making

• boost motivation - set goals for self improvement

You have helped her to shift her thinking and be able to see a way forward.  This has not only positively impacted her school work but also helped her to be confident about who she is".
