Experienced, down-to-earth life coach for neurodivergent and sensitive young people navigating anxiety, confidence and direction

Advert description

I work with neurodivergent and emotionally sensitive young people, including those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or school avoidance, as well as students who feel overwhelmed by expectations or unsure of their direction. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming — I don’t try to “fix” young people, but help them understand how they think, feel and respond to the world. With a background in therapeutic education and counselling skills, I create a calm, non-judgemental space where students can talk openly and feel properly heard. Sessions are tailored and conversational, helping young people build emotional awareness, confidence, and practical strategies to manage stress, relationships, and decision-making. I focus on helping each student feel more in control of their life, more accepting of themselves, and more able to move forward in a way that works for them.

I'd like to leave a review about Colleen. We met Colleen during a difficult time for our family. She arrived, and so many things became easier. Colleen worked with our 14-year-old son, who has many complex illnesses and diagnoses, including many developmental challenges, but she always found a way to connect with him, always sensitive to his mood and condition. Colleen drew and sculpted with our son, sang songs, read books, did creative activities, and listened to music, which I loved very much. It was so wonderful. Colleen worked with our son to help him use a fork and spoon, drink from a cup, practice putting on and taking off clothes, and generally worked with him to develop his independence. Colleen also did physical exercises with our son, throwing and catching a ball, walking on stepping stones, putting together pyramids, puzzles, and so much more, too many to list. Colleen invested a lot of effort and energy into the lessons, preparing at home and coming to classes prepared wit

I had the pleasure of being mentored by Colleen, who supported me as both a tutor and mentor. I can honestly say her support made a real difference in my academic and personal journey. She has a unique ability to create a comfortable and encouraging environment, which made it much easier for me to open up and stay motivated. Colleen helped me with my university application and also provided consistent emotional support during a stressful time. Her guidance was thoughtful, patient and always tailored to my needs. She genuinely listens and gives practical advice that helps you move forward with confidence. Over time, our professional relationship naturally grew into a friendship, which speaks volumes about her kindness and authenticity. I would highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a supportive, reliable and insightful tutor or mentor.
