Why choose Collaborative Coaching for Young People?
​
My bespoke coaching sessions develop wellbeing and capabilities in young people, and encourage them to think about and focus on their hopes and dreams, The approach encourages understanding of the power of this moment, relationships and attitude to promote individual growth and development.
​
Teenage and early adult years can be a strange and stressful time, involving a lot of major life changes and decisions. At that age we can feel that what is happening in our lives such as attending school or being as we see it ‘forced’ to do things we don’t want to do, can make us feel that we have no control or say in our own lives. That is a very disempowering thing.
​
My aim is to provide a supportive hand to see and do things differently, by using techniques that can be introduced into everyday life to help make life a little easier. I offer a safe space for young people to feel connected, to share news, goals and achievements, and celebrate success.
​
When I was a young person I faced many challenges which, although I overcame them in later years; I believe I could have overcome them earlier in my life if I perhaps had someone to help me through them. My passion is to be that person that I needed when I was a younger.
“I’ll always remember you lessons for the rest of my life…I will always have a good attitude and have discipline, you've taught me a lot in such short time.”

What to expect from the session?
​
An initial introductory session involves getting to know each other and discussing areas of focus by using the wheel of life approach. I understand that everyone will have different preferences and needs, so the sessions and content after this can be hand picked by the individual. We keep the sessions fun, interactive, and as light hearted as possible. Each sessions last for 45 minutes.
The 8 bespoke IAT sessions which you can see in more detail by clicking here, can either be participated in fully, or the learner can pick individual sessions which suit the individuals needs and we can take it from there. I can also formulate other personal specific packages to suit the needs of the young person after the first introductory session.
