Throughout the pandemic, teenagers have had to deal with so much change. Their world has literally been turned upside down. From pauses in education to interacting virtually, young people have had to build resilience and adapt. This is in addition to all the regular angst as they juggle the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Having someone to talk to about their experiences is a critical service for our teens.
Whether it’s tackling anxiety, friendship challenges, academic pressures, or family/home life – I’m here to listen, guide and add an additional layer of support.
Using my extensive experience facilitating wellbeing workshops in high schools, I use a number of psycho-educational resources to establish a teen’s unique strengths and values to boost self-esteem and build resilience.
I provide relatability with my own difficult experiences as a teenager and utilise great metaphors from parenting my own teens, which also helps normalise some of the issues. My passion is helping our younger generation navigate and juggle the mental, emotional, social and physical demands that happen daily.
I offer both mentoring and coaching services to help your teenager on their own unique journey.
My extensive experience within Sydney and Hong Kong schools have given me an incredible understanding of the challenges that teens face. I facilitate wellbeing workshops and psycho-education programs within schools, to help teens on their self discovery journey.
My goal when working with a teen is to firstly offer a confidential, non judgemental space for them to download the ups and downs of teenage life. We then begin to normalise their experiences, which can deactivate big emotions and introduce the concept of positive and negative self-talk.
Whether it is starting out as a young adult, unsure of the future you want, or juggling the persistent demands of parenting and putting your own needs last, we can sometimes lose sight of who we are. Come back to your full power and step toward the life you want. Turn what may seem chaotic into calm.
Family coaching can provide the necessary neutral environment to allow each individual member to be seen and heard. Through coaching and mediation techniques, each person’s perspective is honoured and we work together to foster new possibilities and re-establish positive family relationships.
