Coaching Young People
This stage of life (13-20) can be full of pressure—school, exams, friendships, decisions about what comes next.
It’s a time when expectations (from others and ourselves) can feel overwhelming.
Coaching offers a supportive space to make sense of it all. I work with young people using a mix of traditional coaching, the Wisdom® model, and other tools tailored to what feels right for them.
Whether it’s building confidence, managing stress, or figuring out the next steps, coaching can help them feel more grounded, capable, and in control of their choices.
How does coaching with young people work?
Coaching with young people is always shaped by who they are and what they need.
Some sessions are about building confidence or managing stress; others might focus on navigating change, motivation, or handling emotions.
I bring a mix of approaches—including coaching conversations, creative tools, and story-based models like Wisdom®—depending on what feels most helpful.
It’s not school, it’s not therapy—it’s a space where young people can talk honestly, build useful skills, and start to feel more in charge of their lives.
How does ADHD life coaching fit with working with young people?
ADHD—whether diagnosed or undiagnosed—can throw up all sorts of extra challenges. For some young people, school provides structure and clear boundaries; for others, it feels like a daily battle. And when school ends? That structure disappears, leaving many feeling lost, frustrated, or unsure how to adapt the tools that used to work.
That’s where coaching can come in. It’s not about fixing or forcing someone into a mould—it’s about helping them figure out what they need to thrive. Together, we explore new ways of working, practice self-advocacy, and build strategies that actually fit their life now.
