Children and Young People

Many children are unable to identify  - with clarity - the emotions they’re experiencing. This means when working with your child, we’d be less likely to talk as adults might. The work is likely to be more active and playful.

We might come at an issue through drawing, painting, collage, story or imaginary journey work, perhaps using miniature figures, or clay. We would start with a free exploratory chat between the three of us, so parent or caregiver, the young person and the coach. If we contract to work together, your child and I might work on emotional issues,  social skills,  concentration and perseverance tasks, self esteem or self control,  or gaining mastery over events and issues.

Perhaps school confidence has been knocked with the recent pandemic. We can build this up. Your young person will receive kindly support where they feel comfortable, safe, valued and respected.

I work with young people (aged 16 upwards) as a Therapeutic Coach. My background in teaching and (academic) tutoring of children means I understand children’s issues, the school system, and parental concerns. I hold a DBS check, available upon request.
