Counselling & Coaching for Young People 

Helping Young People Build Resilience, Develop Healthy Coping Strategies, and Gain Confidence to Navigate Life’s Challenges

Counselling and coaching helps young people to be more empowered in their own lives whilst giving them the tools and coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges. It is an approach that supports a young person’s capacity to set positive goals and deal with difficult issues and situations, by enabling them to be part of their own self-development process. 

​

I guide and support young people to develop the skills, confidence, resilience and ability to thrive. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where young people can openly explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment, empowering them to build a positive path forward. By blending counselling and coaching techniques with my background in educational psychology, I provide the most effective and relevant support for the young person.

Family, Relationship and Conflict Resolution Coaching

Building Bridges and Unlocking Relationship Potential: Supporting Individuals and Families to Improve their Relationships and Overall Family Dynamics

Family, Relationship & Conflict Resolution coaching focuses on empowering individuals, couples, families and groups to transform and make positive changes in their relationships. As a trained Relationship and Systems Coach (ORSC©), alongside my background in psychology and counselling, I support those I work with to navigate challenges, improve communication, enhance connection, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

​

Family, Relationship & Conflict Resolution coaching is a forward-focused approach that emphasises personal development, building skills, and creating positive change. The coaching happens in a supportive and non-judgmental space, so clients can explore their concerns, gain self-awareness, and develop practical strategies for improving their relationships. The coaching process is suitable for those seeking to strengthen an already healthy relationship, overcome challenges, or navigate significant transitions.
