My apologies for this difficult topic, and thoughts go out to anyone who has been affected by su***de or attempts.
This is a topic I'm passionate about and one of the reasons I retrained as a Mental Health Coach as young people need the skills and support to never find themselves in this position.

I understand how you feel, I really do, I've been there!!!
Phone calls and emails from school daily, taking their phone away and grounding them, begging and pleading but you keep going around in circles. I can help you break this circle and find harmony.
Drop me a message to find out how.

The concept of Mental Health Coaching is new to many people and this is the question I get in my message or email inbox the most.
It's not counselling and it's also not therapy. So what is it you ask...
Much as a sports or business coach would look at what is needed to improve performance and offer guidance, I work with the young person where they are now, break down their worries and problems and work with them to build their skills and understanding to take control of their thoughts, feelings and emotions..

A great article from Nicky @ Dandelion Training and Development, with whom I have completed all my training. Definitely worth a read. I'm so proud to be connected to such a professional training provider.

If you caught our last article, we looked at the variations between coaching, therapy and counselling, so today I want to look at why coaching needs to be in our priority list for children and young people.

Boundaries - Just as they keep the busy lanes of traffic separate on the M25 they are vital for keeping your life and that of your young person going in the right direction too. This supports keeping them physically safe, developing friendships, and all other areas of their life.

👀Knowing where to start is half the battle👀
Once this client was able to identify what they were having trouble with through other exploratory work with them, they were able to turn their thoughts into pictures and something to see and work with.

Anger doesn't come from nowhere, even if at the time it may look like that from the outside.
Coaching helps the young person to identify these phases, understand them, to learn about them, and how they can manage situations and reactions in a far healthier way.
This isn't just for anger, but all emotions and feelings.

🤩What are your wins for the past week?
🦆If you asked your young person, what would they say?
🐠Would they be big days out, expensive things or the smaller stuff like we ate sweets and watched my favourite film, Nanny (or someone just as special) played with me at the park, my best friend slept over?
Recognising the wins, however small, in our lives is just as important as recognising the big ones, and helps to ground us and build thanks and gratitude into what can sometimes seem like a world of nonstop demands and dramas. ❤️

💥Have you ever really thought about the difference between these 2 words?
🌎How are they used in your household?
🎯Has reading this changed your viewpoint?

Coaching with young people and parents/carers is really powerful in reframing the narrative and looking at things differently to find a new way forward. Drop me a message to see how we can
