Personal Growth & Wellbeing I’m Anita, a personal growth and well-being coach,
specialising in helping young people and their families navigate their way
through the teenage and pre-teen years. Whether it’s exam stress, social anxiety
or learning to deal with the overwhelm caused by social media, today’s young
people have more pressure on them than ever before and, as a parent, it can be
hard to know where to turn for advice and support when your child is struggling.
Why use a coach? Shouldn’t I be able to support my child myself? Not fully
understanding emotions, the impact they have and how to manage them can lead to
self-destructive behaviour and negative beliefs, which is not only hard for the
young person but for the family around them too. Seeking help from someone
objective, outside the family, might feel difficult but many of those I work
with say they wish they’d done it sooner. Parenting is hard work and it’s ok not
to struggle on alone. I have spent my entire career working with young people,
spending 20 years as a secondary school teacher before becoming a coach. I’m
also a mum-of-two myself, so I know how difficult it can be. How does coaching
work? Using a combination of talking and listening, alongside a series of
practical steps, I help guide and encourage your child. Together we work through
the issues that are troubling them to come up with a sustainable plan to set
them on the right path for the future. How we get through our teenage years can
pave the way for how we manage the rest of our lives. I’m passionate about
bringing out the best in every child and teenager and giving them the confidence
and skills to succeed in the world. I offer two types of support – Emotional
Wellbeing and Academic Coaching – and aim to build flexible packages around you
and your family, with prices starting from £30 per session. You can see more
details in the Services section and more information about my qualifications and
credentials on the About Me page.
