Modern life is tough for young people, and many haven’t yet acquired the psychological skills needed to cope with the emotional storm of life and the ability to bounce back from the inevitable ups and downs. Therefore, I am providing Wellbeing Coaching sessions in a safe, friendly and trusting environment for young people who are either struggling with mental health or are simply wanting someone to talk to, as they may be facing general life difficulties. I am passionate about helping young people explore their emotions, understand their behaviours and develop coping mechanisms to improve their wellbeing. Creating a strong mental foundation is important in development and can be done successfully with the correct support. I want to enable young people to recognise their strengths, skills and values to enable them to be the happiest, healthiest version of themselves. Sessions will look different depending on needs; be that practicing wellbeing skills and strategies, leaving the floor open for discussion on a young person’s current emotional position or working together to develop life skills. I also offer bereavement support sessions for young people and children. Together we will look at ways to actualise the loss, talk abut the person who died, discuss tools to cope with the grief and explore the importance of self-care techniques.
