Coaching / Mentoring for Young People
“In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?”
― Carl R. Rogers
How I work
When I begin working with a young person, I am not thinking, how can I fix them but how can this unique person, blossom ?
They already have everything that they need within themselves.
It is my desire to help them find it.
Having worked with young people across England and Wales in various SEN settings, I am all too aware of the difficulties that many face in getting the support they need. There just arent enough resources, mentorship programmes, training pathways etc for young people who are living with a neurodivergent reality, such as autism or ADHD or who are simply struggling to find their way forwards in the next stages of life .
I have experienced this first hand and know how valuable it can be to have the right kind of support when making the transition from school leaver to adulthood.
Having a later diagnosis of ADHD meant that I spent many years in the dark, unsupported and without the resources needed to navigate the complex world of work. I had to discover the teachers, skills and frameworks that helped me to move forward. I trained in NLP coaching, counselling skills and youth life coaching. This, combined with my creative practice has put me in a unique position to help young people navigate important life choices as well as feel supported during difficult transitions.
