My sessions are practical, supportive and tailored to the individual child or teenager. I work one-to-one and use a mix of conversation, simple coaching tools, mindfulness techniques and visual or creative exercises to help young people understand themselves better and develop strategies that feel realistic for them.

Sessions may focus on areas such as attention and focus, emotional regulation, overwhelm, confidence, self-esteem, procrastination, motivation, transitions, friendships, school pressures and understanding ADHD or neurodivergent traits. I also help young people recognise patterns in their energy, emotions and behaviour so they can begin to respond more confidently rather than feeling controlled by them.

My approach is calm, informal and collaborative. I do not use a rigid lesson format; instead, I adapt each session around what is most relevant that week. With younger children, sessions may include more drawing, visual tools and playful activities. With teenagers, there is often more discussion, reflection and practical problem-solving.

I am an ICF-accredited coach and certified ADHD coach, with many years of experience supporting children, teenagers, adults and families. My background is in mental health, mindfulness and ADHD-informed coaching, and I have also worked as a mental health specialist within professional sport.

The aim is not to “fix” a young person, but to help them understand how they work, build confidence and develop tools they can use independently in everyday life.
