Coaching for Young People
Why choose Coaching?
Coaching helps young people to navigate life’s difficult situations. In doing so, they recognise their resilience and learn they ‘can’ cope themselves. It helps young people feel more in control of their lives and empowered to make positive changes.
Rather than counselling which is more focused on the past, coaching looks ahead - helping them understand what they want, establish meaningful goals, and take practical steps toward a better future. It gives them the space, tools, and confidence to move forward with clarity and purpose.
Does this ring true for your young person?
- Feeling anxious or worried about the future
- Stressed or overwhelmed around exams, uni, school, or decisions
- Unsure what they want to do next
- Having goals but unsure how to reach them
- Wanting to make a change but not knowing where to start
- Feeling stuck, confused, or lost
- Struggling with decision-making or confidence
- Worried they might be heading down the wrong path
Coaching gives young people a safe, supportive space to talk, reflect, and take action. It helps them move from feeling overwhelmed or unsure to feeling confident, motivated, and clear about their next steps. Through coaching, your child/young adult can:
Gain clarity about what they want and what matters to them
Build confidence in their decisions and abilities
Develop practical strategies to reach their goals
Reduce stress and overwhelm by breaking challenges into manageable steps
Explore options safely and understand the consequences of different paths
Take action with guidance and accountability
Feel supported by someone neutral, understanding, and experienced
How Coaching Can Help Your Child?
About Me
I’m Tom, a qualified coach specialised in Coaching young people, based in Cardiff.
I am fortunate as I understand the pressures young people face today because I’ve lived through them relatively recently myself. My age is an advantage as young people can identify with me, and I with them. This creates a space where they feel understood, heard, and comfortable opening up. I bring a fresh, relatable approach that young people connect with.
I currently coach part-time at Coleg Gwent, supporting hundreds of young adults throughout the academic year. I help them build confidence, manage anxiety and stress, gain clarity during challenging moments, and create simple, achievable actions that move them forward.
The rest of my week is dedicated to 1-to-1 private coaching for young people and young adults. I offer a safe, supportive space where they can explore challenges, strengthen their confidence, and take practical steps toward the future they want.
