Give your child the Edge with Creative Courage
How Coaching Can Help Your Child
Growing up today isn’t easy. Children face pressure from school, friendship ups and downs, the pull of social media, and their own self-doubts. Sometimes, even the most capable young person can feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. That’s where coaching steps in.
Coaching gives your child a safe, encouraging space that’s just for them where they can explore their thoughts and feelings, build new skills, and discover the strengths they already have inside. It’s not therapy, and it’s not tutoring. It’s about equipping your child with practical tools to handle life’s challenges while boosting their confidence and resilience.
Through creative activities, fun games, and gentle mindset techniques, I help children to:
- Manage anxiety and big emotions in healthy ways
- Build confidence in themselves and their abilities
- Develop problem-solving and coping skills for school and beyond
- Strengthen resilience so they can bounce back from setbacks
- Learn calming strategies they can use anytime, anywhere
The beauty of coaching is that it’s future-focused. We don’t just talk about the problem, we work together to find solutions, build habits, and practise skills that your child can carry into everyday life.
Most importantly, children often leave sessions smiling, lighter, and with a sense of pride that grows each week. And as a parent, you’ll notice the difference too: more calm, more confidence, and a child who feels ready to face the world with courage.
Ease Homework Anxiety and Build good Study Habits
Homework Power Hour
Homework doesn’t have to be a battle. My Homework Power Hour is designed to support KS3 students in building the skills and strategies they need to succeed. Whether it’s learning how to understand tricky command words, planning extended writing, or breaking tasks into manageable steps, this focused session helps children feel more in control. It can be a one-off boost before a deadline or a regular slot to build confidence, organisation, and independence. I also support with preparing for class tests and developing strong early exam skills.

Music Theory
Flute and Singing Tuition
Music Theory
Music theory is an important skill for young musicians, particularly with Grade 5 being a pre-requisite for the higher ABRSM grades. For musicians who already read music, grade 5 can usually be achieved with 10 hours tuition and homework in between (no need to do lower grades). I can offer this online or in person - either as 1 hour sessions or an intensive bootcamp of 5 x 2 hour sessions - individual or group sessions available. Other grades are also available or simply general music theory.

Designed for 8–11 year olds, these two-hour sessions are packed with fun activities that let children express themselves through hands-on crafts, music and movement games. Every child takes home the unique creations they’ve made, so the memories last long after the party ends. Perfect for up to 8 children, all materials are included. You just bring the guests, and I’ll bring the fun, energy, and inspiration!
