Using either video meetings or voice messaging, we'll work through a structured program to identify where anxiety and lack of self belief exists and work through practical exercises to build new habits and mindfulness to establish new self belief and new levels of confidence.

The format of my sessions is more about speaking about feelings, behaviour and situations rather than using any sort of text book references.

Follow up work may involve using external resources that will be easily available, or practising a new skill or habit that has been introduced in our coaching session.

The students that I have worked with have come from a variety of backgrounds. The work we do helps to build a new future using your existing situation as the spring board for change. These sessions are not therapy, as they focus on moving forward using new ways of thinking and behaving instead of digging up the past.

Any academic ability is suitable for the work we do together - although this type of coaching is especially successful for kids/teenagers/adults who feel that they don't fit the 'mould' of traditional education. Some of the new habits that may be introduced to support you in raising your confidence and self belief are dependant on practising using them after they have been initially introduced.
