Children and teen coaching

How can coaching support my child or teen?

Coaching provides children with an additional layer of protection. Coaching gives them knowledge, skills and strategies to face life’s challenges in a positive way. It has been proven that resilience, emotional intelligence, a growth mindset and communication skills are the main ingredients for a child to flourish- coaching can help to build these elements and more, while positively impacting on mental health, creating a healthy sense of self, and a positive outlook on life. The benefits of coaching will impact the child now, and throughout the rest of their childhood, into their teenage years, and further to adulthood.

Topics that coaching can support with:

  • Confidence;

  • A growth mindset;

  • Communication;

  • Friendships / relationships;

  • Bullying;

  • Emotions;

  • Resilience;

  • Limiting beliefs / negative self talk;

  • Self esteem;

  • Behaviours;

  • Change / transitions;

  • Mental health and wellbeing; and

  • Physical health.

Support for parents

  • At the end of each session, feedback or information will be shared with parents/care givers so they are aware of tool, strategies or practices the child or adolescent has been recommended. The child’s goal will also be shared so that parents can help assist, remind and encourage.

The process:

  • Initially I offer a free 15 min discovery call with a parent to discuss if coaching support would be a good match.

  • Sessions are reviewed regularly, and a written review will be emailed to parents at an appropriate point in support. At this point we will discuss if additional sessions will be added to the package originally agreed.

  • Each session lasts 50 min, with an additional 10 minutes at the end to allow for a handover with a parent. Sessions take place in my garden studio, 4 miles out of St Andrews. They can also be online (depending on the age of the child) or in a school setting with permission from parents and school.

  • Creativity is a huge part of my sessions, so I include mindfulness activities, visualisations, meditations and arts and crafts (if in person).

  • A complimentary feedback call is also included at the end of the support package. This gives parents a chance to ask any questions for going forward.

Fee:

£45 a session.

It is important to state that I am not a qualified counsellor or therapist. I may, however, be a support to children while on a waiting list to see these mental health professionals. I am fully PVG checked and have up to date Child Protection training from the NSPCC.
