Teen Coaching for Girls & Young Women
Confident. Resilient. Empowered.

What is Teen Coaching?
Teen coaching is a structured, goal-focused, non-clinical support process designed to equip girls and young women with life skills through guided conversation, activities, and space for self-reflection.
‘It is not therapy or counselling’.

Teen coaching does not diagnose or treat mental illness. Instead, it supports girls and young women who are facing overwhelming barriers in their lives, around school, friendships, or self-belief. It can be a great and successful early intervention tool for girls and young women who are awaiting access local mental health services or who do not fit the criteria.

Underpinned by Youth Work Values
As a qualified youth worker, my teen coaching programme of practice is built on voluntary engagement, starting with positive and respectful relationship building so that the girls and young women choose to be there. Their voice then leads the process, and I am there to motivate, encourage, listen, signpost, aspire, advocate and empower.

My practice is ethical, reflective, and confidential, while upholding my duty of care. As a trauma-informed coach, I understand how past and present life experiences may shape girls behaviour, and so the whole process is about meeting young people with calmness, coolness, kindness and a non-judgmental attitude.

My Teen Coaching Programme is designed to help with:

• Low self-esteem or confidence
• Friendship or unhealthy relationship challenges
• Social media anxiety or comparison
• Body Image and pressures about not fitting in
• Family changes (e.g. divorce, separation, moving house)
• Aspirations and goals
• Conflict and emotions
• Transition periods (e.g. Year 6–7, Year 9, post-16)
