What is our role as a coach?
We are coaches. We are not therapists and therefore what we do is not suitable for those with higher levels of anxiety such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder or PTSD. As coaches, we focus on guiding you to open up new possibilities and be motivated to engage in change. Our programs help you to access new viewpoints that will help you improve your future and look forward by achieving your goals by reaching short term targets through accountability, motivation and support. Anxiety is often focused on fear of the future, therefore our anxiety coaching combats anxiety-related symptoms by helping you feel more in control of the outcome and facilitating more positive thought patterns. We use the S.T.I.L.L method program as a vehicle to scaffold confidence, build a bank of strategies and feel more equipped to navigate change.
According to the Institute of Coaching, 80% of people who went on a coaching program boosted their self-confidence. Over 70% improved their work performance, communication skills, and relationships.

1:1
This 6-week STILL Method program is suitable for children and adults who are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety and/or low self-esteem.
It is run over six, 1 hour session.
Coaching 1:1 V Group
Choosing a group or a 1:1 session depends on what you, or your child want to get from the sessions- what are the outcomes that you would like to have?
1:1 means that we can come to your home, an environment that you may feel more comfortable in, at a time that is more convenient to you. It also means that we can engage 100% with you, or your child, meaning that goals can be far more personalised. Unlike when working in groups, individual coaching means that we can take the time to understand the unique challenges that you are facing and show you the most effective ways to move forward using our six week STILL Method Program. We also offer 1:1 online via Zoom.

Confident Kids / Confident Women / Confident Community
A 6-week STILL Method program is suitable for children (aged 7+) or adults who are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety and/or low self-esteem.

Coaching 1:1 V Group
Choosing a group or a 1:1 session depends on what you, or your child want to get from the sessions- what are the outcomes that you would like to have?
A group offers the social aspect and peer support. It can be good to interact with others, share experiences and form new connections in a community space- you never know what else you could get involved in community-wise if you so desired. The games and activities are designed to get you engaging and chatting and boosting that confidence as well as giving you strategies to manage anxiety over the course of the six weeks. But we realise that this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Drawing and Talking
Drawing and Talking is a safe and gentle therapeutic approach, which provides an effective way for both children and adults to process emotional pain or trauma that they may be experiencing in a creative way and is an alternative to talk-based therapy. It is a 12-week program of 30 minute sessions-online or in your own home.
People are impacted emotionally by many different events, struggles or traumas. Sometimes they are unable to make sense of how they are feeling and how those feelings are impacting on their happiness and ability to navigate the world.
Using this therapeutic approach, the individual will be able to express unconscious thoughts through a combination of drawing and talking. The participant is given the tools and freedom to express what is happening in their subconscious mind, without any interruptions, allowing emotions to be expressed and processed naturally. This gives opportunities to process deep rooted emotions – that they may not walk to talk about. A resolution is reached as the individual is able to address the way they feel about past events or current concerns.
The sessions remain confidential between the person accessing support and the practitioner. At the end of each session, the individual's picture will be put into their folder and kept safely away until the next session. On completion of session 12- the folder is handed back to them to keep as they wish.
Compass for Life
Our Compass for Life program aims to support children on a lifelong journey of learning and development to help them dicover their purpose and become the best version of themselves. Everyone is on their own journey, and this program equips the children with the tools, skills and support to challenge themselves to take the next step.
The Compass for Like philosophy is based on the four cardinals of the compass and your unique Compass for Life map. With these tools, the children will have everything they need to navigate life as the best and most authentic version of thenselves and leave a legacy that they will be proud of.
The compass gives purpose to life, motivating the children to explore thenselves fully while giving them direction to navigate their way to a more fulfilled life filled with passion and meaning. This bright, shining north cardinal (the guiding Super North Star) of aspiration sits in the sky so that no matter what, they can always see the path that lies before them.
