Hello,
My name's Natasha and I’m a dedicated teen life coach with a passion for supporting neurodiverse young people and helping them feel understood, capable, and confident in their everyday lives.
My journey working alongside young people began when I became an au pair in 1997, and continued after I graduated university and became a full time Youth Worker in 2001.
Over the years my experience has grown through my 'real-life' as a home-educating mum to four neurodiverse children. This has given me a deep, practical understanding of challenges such as executive functioning, anxiety, sensory overwhelm, motivation, and emotional regulation.
Alongside this, I bring:
A Law Degree (strong advocacy and communication skills).
TEFL teaching experience (clear, supportive guidance).
Extensive experience advocating for young people and families.
Informal but meaningful experience coaching teens through real-life challenges.
💬 How I Can Help
I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where teens can:
Build confidence and self-understanding.
Develop organisation and life skills.
Manage anxiety and overwhelm.
Improve communication and independence.
Feel heard and supported (without pressure or criticism).
Every session is tailored to the individual — there is no “one size fits all.”
🌿 My Approach
I take a gentle, practical and strengths-based approach. I understand that neurodiverse teens often don’t need “fixing” — they need the right support, tools, and someone who truly gets it.
And I should add, that having been a home educator for the last 17 years, I have a special interest in supporting home educated teens.
I also incorporate interests and real-life strategies into our sessions which help young people build skills that actually work for them.

🌍 A Bit About Me
When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying nature, practising yoga, travelling, reading, learning languages, or out walking with my dog. I bring that same calm, grounded energy into my sessions.
