Odyssey Young Life Coaching

Further to my previous post about a former client who has benefitted so much from my life coaching that he contacted his local MP, that MP forwarded his letter to the Department for Education who wrote this reply which mentions me by name!

Funding in education is poor and I don’t expect life coaching to be recognised or available to school children anytime soon, but with a child like this who believes and will fight for it, who knows!

You never know the effect you may have on a person and where that might go. Be kind, always!

I recently received a heartfelt message from the parent of a former client who graduated from my Adventurer programme. It was incredibly rewarding to hear that her son is going from strength to strength—a direct result of the coaching he received.

His growth was so profound that, entirely on his own initiative, he took massive action and wrote to his MP, urging him to enhance the PSHE curriculum by incorporating confidence-building and life coaching.
In his message, he specifically highlighted how my coaching helped him overcome anxiety and build confidence, emphasising that all children could benefit from such support.

Wow! 😮

I can’t even begin to express how much this means to me. Even though his coaching sessions have ended, he continues to experience the benefits and is using his voice to advocate for positive change. I feel truly privileged to have coached him and to have played a part in his journey. 🙏

It's wonderful to receive a message from a parent saying that my life coaching is having a positive impact on their child.

These messages always mean a lot to me.
This is why I do this.
To offer support that the child isn't receiving elsewhere.
To make a difference.

🌟 Another 5-Star Review 🌟

I was approached by parents concerned about their child, who was struggling with overwhelming emotions. His friendships were strained, his self-esteem was very low, and he was experiencing significant anxiety.

Through personalised, tailored sessions designed around my own curriculum, we worked together to address these challenges. The results were transformative. He took proactive steps to improve his friendships, his confidence soared, and he gained practical strategies to manage his anxiety effectively. Watching his progress was truly rewarding!

Schools talk about resilience (or perseverance) all the time. But how do we actually instil it in children?

In this post I explore ways that you can do just that.

It is always the parent that reaches out to me, looking for help and support for their child.

I always offer a free zoom call to meet both parent and child. By the time I have explained my past struggles and why I do this, the child, most of the time, is open to accept my help and work with me.
Life coaching is not counselling, it is about the here and now and focusing on the future. Combining stoicism with NLP, it focuses on reframing thinking and how we view ourselves and the world.

A child may not want therapy, or have had it but don't want it again. Well, life coaching isn't therapy and that's why it's so effective!

Another amazing testimonial from a parent who wanted to help their child overcome their emotional struggles and have the best start to the new school year.

The positive changes that life coaching brought to their child's life were truly transformative.

As a life coach for children, I equip young minds with the tools and strategies they need to create lasting, positive changes in their lives.

This client wanted their child to have the best start to the new academic year so invested in Odyssey Young Life Coaching.

I still can’t get over this message. This was feedback I received after the first session!

It means so much to me.
This is why I do it.
To make a difference.
To have an impact.

I pride myself on making a difference.
On being able to do what isn’t possible in school.
On forging positive relationships quickly because I’ve been where many of these children are.
I’m the middleman.
I’m the third party voice they’ll listen to.

The first day back at school, for many, will begin with dread and worry. Wouldn’t it be great if your child received a personal message giving them a morning boost.

At Odyssey Young Life Coaching, that’s exactly what I do. Clients benefit from personal messages tailored to their lifestyle and routines.

My latest article for delves into back to school nerves and how children can develop habits to help them have a successful year and address their worries.

With news reports this week saying there is an ‘absence epidemic’ in schools, we really need to be looking deeper into why so many children are struggling with anxiety. What is going so wrong that these numbers continue to rise?

As a children’s life coach, I help children with their mental health, giving them tools and strategies to cope and thrive in today’s society, giving them tools that, sadly, the education system does not.

Whether you're a child, adult or business owner, we all have one thing in common - we are trying our best to navigate life.

There is no manual, there is no guidebook, we learn from experience and most of that comes from our mistakes.

Be kind to yourself. You can't do everything. Don't try and keep up with others, you don't know their story, you just see their highlight reel on social media.

Do you. Be true to you. Carve your own path and the right doors will open.
Everything works out for a reason.

To my followers, please share this post regarding my upcoming group programme.
Thank you
