Could Online Youth Coaching Be Right for you?
1:1 Tailored Support 
While the adventure of growing up can be a wonderful and exciting time, As a teenager  or young adult it can, at times, be overwhelming when you experience difficulties.
There are  many different approaches to help you move forward, grow confident, and increase your self-belief. Each has its own benefits, as does Youth coaching.

Counselling also known as Therapy, typically focuses on exploring past events and emotions, guiding individuals through their experiences to address and heal from trauma, ultimately bringing them back to the present. It's a valuable approach for delving into deep-rooted issues and understanding their impact.

In contrast, coaching operates in the present and looks toward the future. It involves objectively examining past patterns to illuminate new pathways forward. Coaching empowers individuals to confront challenges, develop skills, and cultivate coping strategies to forge new habits, attitudes, and abilities.

While the boundaries between coaching and counselling have become somewhat blurred over time, with coaching becoming more psychologically informed and counselling adopting a broader approach, there are still clear distinctions between the two, take a look at diagram below for a quick overview. 

The benefit of this approach is that you can be in the comfort of your own space!
It is totally tailored to an individual’s issues and obstacles, it is not agenda driven, or a one size fits all approach, and accordingly, the you often need fewer sessions. The coaching session focus on moving forward and exploring barriers to change alongside accessing skill based learning to overcome obstacles to a more balanced outlook and increased wellbeing.

As Wellness Within.uk Youth Coach (Niki), I just want to give a warm welcome and let you know,  that I have worked with young people for many years, in many different support roles: drug and alcohol, mental health, missing/runaways, career coaching to name a few, always ensuring you have a safe space to work on challenges you want to move through.
My Youth Coaching service is for young people aged between 14 years old to 18 years of age.  I can guarantee that every individual, irrespective of their ethnicity, religion, gender, age, perceived ability, or sexual orientation, will have the chance to feel genuinely valued and respected in our sessions.
Coaching sessions are online (Skype) & slots are available to fit around school, college, university, work and family commitments - so during the day, some evenings, and some weekend slots.
The bill payer -  usually your parent/carer, will need to be consulted on how many sessions we have, how long the gaps are in between those sessions and if this is financially achievable for them.

Whether it's recovering from the depths of past experiences or charting a course toward future goals, I'm dedicated to providing comprehensive tailor made support. 

Benefits for parents

Wellness Coaching can also have a great many benefits from the perspective of a parent.

Youth coaching offers numerous benefits from the perspective as a parent, as it can support and enhance various aspects of your child's development. Here are several reasons why youth coaching can be highly beneficial:

  • Personal Growth: Youth coaching focuses on helping young people develop self-awareness, confidence, and resilience. As children grow and learn through coaching, parents witness their child's personal growth and development, which can be incredibly rewarding.

  • Improved Communication: Youth coaching often involves developing effective communication skills, both for expressing oneself and listening to others. As a young person learns to communicate more clearly and assertively through coaching, parents may experience improved communication within the family, leading to better understanding and stronger relationships.

  • Goal Setting and Achievement: Youth coaching encourages young people to set meaningful goals and take action to achieve them. Parents can support their child's goal-setting process and celebrate their achievements, fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation.

  • Problem-Solving Skills: Coaching equips young people with critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling them to approach challenges with creativity and resilience. Parents benefit from seeing their child develop these skills, which can be valuable both in academics and in life.

  • Emotional Intelligence: Youth coaching often addresses emotional intelligence, helping them to recognise and manage their emotions effectively. Parents may observe their child becoming more emotionally resilient and empathetic, leading to healthier relationships and improved well-being.

  • Academic Success: Coaching can support young people in setting academic goals, developing study habits, and managing school-related stress. Parents may notice improvements in their child's academic performance and confidence, leading to a positive impact on their overall educational journey.

  • Life Skills Development: Youth coaching can focus on building essential life skills such as time management, organisation, and decision-making. Parents benefit from seeing their child develop these skills, as they are crucial for success in various areas of life.

  • Enhanced Parent-Child Relationship: Youth coaching can strengthen the bond between parents and child by providing a shared experience focused on growth and development. Parents who support their young persons coaching journey demonstrate their commitment to their child's well-being and personal growth, fostering a deeper connection between them.
