Supportive mentor helping students build confidence, motivation and direction

I offer practical, supportive coaching for teenagers and young adults who would like help with confidence, motivation, organisation, decision-making or planning their next steps. My approach is relaxed and conversational. I am not here to lecture or tell you what to do. Instead, I listen, ask questions and help you work out realistic goals and practical steps that suit you. I hold an RQF Level 3 Award in Coaching and Mentoring and have completed safeguarding training. I am also starting work as an MCR Pathways Mentoring Coordinator in a secondary school, supporting young people with confidence, engagement and personal development. Earlier in my career I worked in football representation, supporting young players and their families through important decisions about education, careers and their future. I have also managed and mentored younger staff in the workplace. Sessions can focus on areas such as motivation, time management, confidence, managing pressure, setting goals, preparing for work or further education, or simply getting some structure and direction. I particularly enjoy working with young people who may not need academic tutoring, but would benefit from having an experienced, supportive adult to talk things through with and help them move forward.
