Mental Health and Life Coaching for Students

I offer supportive, informal and practical mental health and life coaching for A-level students, university students and young adults who may be finding life, education or personal challenges difficult to navigate.

My approach is centred around creating a comfortable, judgement-free space where you can talk openly about what is going on in your life. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to a session. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with motivation, dealing with academic pressure, lacking confidence, adjusting to university life, experiencing a difficult period personally, or simply need someone to talk things through with, our sessions can be shaped around what you need.

As someone who has recently completed a Master's degree, I understand many of the pressures that students face. During my own time at university, I experienced the loss of my father alongside other challenges with my mental wellbeing. Going through these experiences while continuing with my studies taught me a great deal about resilience, managing difficult periods and the importance of having people around you who are willing to listen.

I also volunteer as a facilitator with Andy's Man Club, supporting an environment where people can speak openly about their mental health and experiences without fear of judgement. This has helped me develop my listening, communication and interpersonal skills, and I bring these qualities into my coaching.

My sessions are conversational and collaborative rather than formal or lecture-based. I will listen to what you are experiencing, help you reflect on what might be contributing to it, and work with you to identify realistic ways forward. Depending on your goals, this might involve exploring confidence, routines, motivation, managing stress, navigating change, building healthier habits, preparing for university, or simply making sense of what you are feeling.

I believe good coaching is not about telling someone how they should live their life. It is about helping them understand themselves, recognise their strengths and find practical approaches that feel right for them.

My aim is to provide a supportive space where you can be heard, understood and encouraged to move forward at your own pace.

Please note that my coaching is not a replacement for professional mental health treatment or therapy.
