Lowri Victoria Coaching

"What are the benefits of coaching for a young person"

I believe the popularity of coaching comes from the fact it's very much forward thinking. Counselling often comes with some stigma attached, and talking about the past may not always be useful for some people. Coaching is all about the future and improving yourself. It's particularly attractive to young people who may feel a sense of purposelessness in early adulthood years as it can provide them with space to talk through options and goals for their future life without pressure or judgment.

“What can I expect to do during a coaching session”

Each session is client led. As the coach, I am there to guide you but not to do the work for you. In the initial session we will work through a ‘wheel of life’ in which you will be asked to rate different areas of your current life eg ‘emotional wellbeing’, ’health and fitness’ ,’relationships’ , ’career’. Following that you will set a goal you want to work towards over the sessions. In each of the following session we will look at setting milestones and action plans to take in order to achieve the goal.

I'm Lowri, based in London. I wanted to become a coach to be able to offer the support and guidance I wish I'd had. After graduating from university I had no idea what I wanted to do and didn’t want to pursue the degree I'd spent the last 4 years completing. I didn’t get the graduate scheme everyone was telling me to apply for, and I felt lost and lacking in motivation.

I want to be able to coach people like myself who feel they need someone to talk to about these common daily struggles. I will offer the support and guidance to enable you to create the life YOU want for yourself.

I have a degree in Social Science and a Diploma in Counselling, however, I want to stress the difference in coaching and counselling. I often believe counselling comes with a stigma especially for young people, unlike counselling which is helping people understand their past, coaching is forward looking and helps you clarify your goals and plan how to achieve them. I will provide you with the space to work on whatever you feel would benefit you and create the life you want to lead.

I have a contemporary approach to coaching and with my client focus being young people I believe I am able to relate and empathise with many of the issues which arise in a young person's life. Today society poses many challenges for young people including, social media, career choice, relationships and many more areas which can be overwhelming, especially at these pivotal ages.

All my sessions can be online or in person (depending on location).
