FAQ
How does teen coaching work?
In weekly, hour long teen coach sessions (virtual or in-person), I help kids evaulate the elements of their life. Where are they content? Where could things be better?
We flesh out their ideal future to build hope – what would it look and feel like? – then set small, self-directed goals to inch closer to that reality.
Along the way, we explore the elements that make the kid who they are – their strengths, values and personality type – and trn their struggles and weaknesses into tools for building their ideal life.
What results can I expect?
Parents report rapid shifts in their teenager’s communication, motivation and happiness. Teens say they finally feel capable of kicking butt and knocking out goals.
Does my teen need a youth life coach or a therapist?
A brilliant teen summed up the difference: counselling is about the past; coaching is about the future. Therapy is the right fit for addressing trauma and diagnosable mental health concerns; teen coaching works for taking action to improve an okay-but-not-ideal life.
Another teen compared therapy and coaching like this; “My counsellors gave me the same suggestions, but they never told me how. In coaching I figure out my own solutions, based on my actual life.”

What are your qualifications?
I’ve gained so much from my many lived experiences. My work life began in design, becoming a Retail Marketing & Property Manager at 25, going on to run my own freelance design business all while bringing up a family. But I burned out and after a lot of soul-searching, pivoted my career to do something I truly love.
I became accredited as a Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a Practitioner of Matrix Therapies in 2022 and am currently completing my diploma of Life Coaching as a teen life coach through The Life Coaching College and endeavor to complete my Advanced Diploma in 2023 and then my Masters in 2024. I continue to learn and self-educate with an innate curiosity and desire to improve.
