Give your teen the precious gift of confidence ...

...to know who they are

...to know what they want

...to know how to get there independently

Being a teen right now is tough.

If your teen is particularly sensitive, it might feel even tougher.

Many are having to sit big exams for the first time.

They might not know how to revise.

They might not know how to organise themselves.

And everybody is telling them how important these exams are.

Perhaps your teen has got through those all-important A-level exams and has left for uni. 

But it isn’t quite how they thought it would be. 

They are homesick and lonely. 

They don’t know how to organise their time. 

They are unclear how to structure an essay.

And they don’t know who to ask. 

 

Or maybe your teen has finished their studies. 

And now they are floundering. 

They know that they need to work out their next steps but they haven’t a clue where to start. So they procrastinate. 

Or they take the first job that comes along and then find that they are already bored and disillusioned.

Perhaps you are wondering how best to guide them.

You want the best for your teen. Of course, you do.

You want them to get good grades.

You want them to be well-rounded, nice people with lots of hobbies.

You want them to get a good job.

You want them to be happy.

You wonder whether you are doing enough. I get it. I’m a Mum too. 

But here’s the thing:

Your teen already has all the resources they need to achieve their goals all by themselves.

The problem is, quite simply, that many of the goals they have been working towards all their lives are not their own.

They have been set by society.

They have been set by the government.

They have been set by their teachers.

They have been set by you.

It’s not surprising that many teens feel lost. 

 

My teen clients often tell me that they MUST  get “good grades” to get a “good job” – most have not considered what good grades or a good job might look like for them.

They are simply repeating what they have been told by the grown-ups in their lives.  

The saddest thing is that when I ask them what brings them joy, many don’t have an answer at first. 

Once your teen identifies their own unique passions, skills, talents and values, this will be the key to unlocking their motivation.  

Whether your teen is at school, college, uni or work … I can help them set goals, create a plan and take action.

Through weekly coaching and mentoring sessions:

I will help your teen to set their own goals

I will support them to break these goals down into a series of steps

I will empower them to take action

I will keep them accountable.

I will work with them to remove any barriers to success.

I will celebrate their wins with them

By investing in coaching, you will set your teen up for life by giving them the confidence to know who they are, what they want and how to get there independently.

Are we a good match to work together?

The answer is yes if …

You know that your lovely teen is perfect just as they are and does not need “fixing” – they don’t need to be louder, smarter or better at sport because you want your teen to be the best version of themselves, not the best version of somebody else

You are willing to trust and allow your teen to follow their passions and interests (even if they don’t quite match with your aspirations for them!)

You and your teen are curious and willing to try out new ways of thinking or new ways of doing things

Your teen is open to the idea that with the right support, they can achieve anything they want to achieve

Your teen is prepared to chat openly with me

Your teen is ready to take action to get the life they want

I might not be the right person for your teen if …

You answer no to any of the above

They are very depressed. Sometimes teens need the specialist help of a medical professional before they are ready for coaching or mentoring. I don’t have medical qualifications and I am not a mental health specialist so if your teen is depressed or having suicidal thoughts, I would always recommend that they see a medical professional first. 

One final (very crucial) question: have you shown your teen my website and asked them if they want to work with me (you’d be astounded if you knew just how many parents don’t)?

It really will only work if your teen wants to be coached. I know. Frustrating, right?

There are things your teen will have to do if they want to create the life they really want.

There is no magic wand. But your teen doesn’t need a magic wand. Your teen just needs somebody to help them discover all the amazing resources that they already have inside them.
