Services
Why and What?
Young people need safe spaces where they feel listened to, with people they can rely on. In a pressured world, both for the young person and the adults that support them, that can be hard to find. I aim to be that person, providing a place to explore, find their voice, and make a positive, powerful change that benefits them.
Where?
I provide services to primary and secondary schools, EYFS settings, and youth centres. I work with private clients in the home and have worked digitally via online meeting platforms with those in other parts of the country. Community classes are offered when capacity allows.

1:1 Mentoring (most popular)
Tailored support to meet the individual’s need allowing them to be seen and heard. Offering a calm, safe space, sessions are led by the needs of the young person, allowing them to take control of the difficulties they are experiencing and find suitable solutions to support them.
When assessing young people for one to one coaching, I use a framework that looks at the development and diagnostic of the child. This process is not about classifying them but identifies patterns of functioning to formulate a workable action plan of support.

Group/Class Wellbeing Sessions
Bring young people together to calm the mind through building stronger relationships with their peers. Connection, concentration, and compassion in the space allows them to support each other’s wellbeing. Sessions can help with self-esteem and confidence, anxiety and anger, and improve trust, respect, and wellbeing.

Drawing and Talking Therapy
Drawing and Talking is a short-term, time-limited, pro-active therapeutic intervention intended to complement, rather than replace, the work of specialist mental health services. This non-intrusive tool allows processing of emotional pain resulting from trauma through a non-directed technique.

Wellbeing support can work better in the home or other familiar setting such as at Scouts or a youth club. Whether working 1:1 with a young person, supporting a family, or providing a one-off workshop, this is for you. Scout and Guide groups can discuss badge requirements to cover and I’ll do my best to support. I can attend sleepovers for pre-bedtime wind-down.

Consultancy
Whether it’s understanding what a young person is trying to communicate through their behaviour, or your youth service needs to improve provision, a fresh pair of eyes can help identify needs and formulate plans. For wellbeing support, young people can be assessed using a framework allowing a clear developmental and diagnostic profile.

Storytelling Workshops
Through storytelling, young people can have fun, use their imaginations, and improve their confidence. A healthy blend of activities mixed with either performance or writing skills dependent on the group, these workshops can make a great one-off activity or a programme developed over a longer period.
Who: Group size variable
Length: Usually 60-90 mins.
Time: Standalone workshop or weekly for a term.
Cost: From £60 per session.
Did you know?
Research shows that half of all mental health problems occur before the age of 14. Issues that arise in childhood and impact children and young people can, without appropriate support, embed themselves and cause a long-term vulnerability to further mental health issues. Whether learning strategies as a group, or time in a 1:1, young people need dedicated space to explore. This form of early intervention is key to supporting young people’s wellbeing and can help reduce school absence.
