Effective Response: Confidential Life Coaching Support for Foster and Adoptive Parents

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Mica helped me get through a really hard time. I was nearly suicidal last time my relationship broke up, this time I coped much better, I could even see why it was a good thing for me, especially now I've got a much more adult relationship (with a really fit guy). Now I can even cope with my mom!"

Work with Young People

Life coaching is great with young people. It focuses precisely on the range of skills you need to develop at this stage of your life; confidence, self-reliance, a sense of responsibility, learning how to create solutions and strategies, being positive and determined; in a nutshell, the skills of adulthood.
Unfortunately, many young people, especially if you've experienced disadvantage, just don't get to learn these skills.
Breath work can be really helpful to avoid 'losing it' if you're stressed, the same as it is for anyone.
I work in a very similar way with young people to the way I work with adults.
I also work with young people in small groups, which can help if you're inclined to feel isolated. I run groups in towns within a thirty mile radius of my home; Leeds, Manchester, Blackburn, Burnley, Calderdale, Bradford, Oldham, Kirklees, Rochdale.
When working with groups of young people I have found it most productive to separate the groups into, girls (up to age 12-13), young women (13-18), boys (up to 13), and young men (13-18). Sometimes over 18's are able to concentrate working in mixed sex groups, but this is rare, so I would only work with young men and women together if there was a specific reason for this.
I am prepared to do this work via Social Services or the Voluntary sector.
