Counselling & Coaching for Young People 

Supporting young people to build resilience, develop confidence, and navigate life's challenges.

Counselling and coaching empower young people to better understand themselves while developing the tools and coping strategies needed to navigate life's challenges. This approach supports young people to identify their strengths, set meaningful goals, and work through difficult situations, while encouraging them to take an active role in their own growth and development.

​

I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where young people can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we build the skills, confidence, resilience, and self-awareness needed to thrive both in and outside of school. By integrating coaching and counselling approaches with my background in educational psychology, I tailor my support to meet each young person's unique needs.​

Executive Function Coaching

Helping young people build the skills they need to thrive at school and in everyday life

Executive Function Coaching provides personalised support and practical strategies to help young people strengthen the skills they need to manage everyday life more effectively. Executive function skills are the brain's "management system" and include planning, organisation, time management, attention, emotional regulation, self-control, and goal setting.

​

Through coaching, I work alongside each young person to identify practical strategies that suit the way they think and learn. Drawing on my experience as a Learning Support Teacher and Educational Psychologist, I tailor each coaching programme to their individual strengths, challenges, and learning profile. Together, we build skills that help them become more organised, independent, and confident at school and in everyday life. Executive Function Coaching can be particularly beneficial for neurodivergent young people, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning differences. ​

​

Executive Function Coaching can support young people with:

  • Organisation and time management

  • Planning and prioritising tasks

  • Task initiation

  • Sustaining focus and attention

  • Managing procrastination

  • Decision-making and impulse control

  • Staying on track and completing tasks

  • Managing multiple assignments and responsibilities

  • Developing effective study habits

  • Emotional regulation

  • Building self-regulation and healthy routines

Family, Relationship and Conflict Resolution Coaching

Helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen relationships, improve communication, and navigate conflict with confidence.

Family, Relationship & Conflict Resolution Coaching supports individuals, couples, families, and groups to strengthen their relationships and create positive, lasting change. As a trained Organisation and Relationship Systems Coaching® (ORSC®) practitioner, together with my background in educational psychology and counselling, I help clients navigate challenges, improve communication, deepen connection, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

​

ORSC® (Organisation and Relationship Systems Coaching®) is a unique coaching approach that focuses not only on the individuals involved, but also on the relationship itself. It recognises that every relationship—whether between partners, family members, friends, colleagues, or teams—has its own patterns and dynamics. By recognising and understanding these patterns, we can improve communication, strengthen connection, and create healthier, more effective ways of relating to one another.

​

This coaching is future-focused and collaborative, helping clients move beyond current challenges and create the relationships they want. Sessions provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space to explore concerns, gain new perspectives, develop practical communication skills, and strengthen understanding of one another. Whether you are looking to strengthen an already healthy relationship, work through conflict, or navigate a significant life transition, coaching provides practical tools to support positive and lasting change.

​

 Relationship coaching can support::

  • Couples

  • Families

  • Siblings

  • Friendships

  • Business partners

  • Professional relationships

  • Teams and work groups

Student Workshops & Group Programmes

Interactive workshops and group programmes that help young people develop the skills to thrive.

I offer engaging, evidence-informed workshops, group coaching programmes, and presentations that support young people's social, emotional, and personal development. Drawing on more than 30 years' experience working in international schools, I design each workshop or programme to be practical, interactive, and tailored to the age, needs, and goals of the students.

​

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, every workshop or programme can be tailored to meet the unique needs of the students, focusing on practical skills that promote wellbeing, resilience, confidence, and positive relationships.

​

Workshop topics may include:

  • Managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

  • Building resilience, developing a growth mindset, and managing the “inner critic”

  • Developing confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness

  • Managing friendships and resolving conflict

  • Emotional regulation and healthy coping strategies

  • Goal setting, motivation, and living a balanced life

  • Executive function skills, including organisation, planning, and time management

  • Mindfulness and relaxation strategies (including the PAWS b Programme)

  • Navigating transitions and change

  • Building healthy relationships and communication skills

  • Understanding personal strengths and values

  • Managing perfectionism and imposter syndrome

  • Building positive mental health and wellbeing

​

Workshops and group programmes can be delivered as single sessions, multi-session programmes, or ongoing group coaching, either in person or online.
