Welcome to My Youth Coaching Sessions!

With over 20 years of experience working with young people as a dance teacher, I have had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of children and teenagers. My transition from dance instruction to youth coaching was a natural evolution—one that allows me to continue guiding young individuals toward confidence, resilience, and personal growth.

# What to Expect from My Coaching Sessions
My coaching sessions are designed to be a safe and supportive space for self-discovery and skill-building. I work online via Zoom, providing flexibility for students across European time zones (CET). The virtual format offers a comfortable and familiar environment where young people can open up and engage in meaningful discussions.

Each session is structured yet adaptable, following evidence-based coaching methods, including:
- The GROW Model – A framework for goal setting and problem-solving.
- Motivational Interviewing – Encouraging self-reflection and decision-making.
- Solution-Focused Coaching – Helping students recognize their strengths and find practical solutions.

# Session Content and Approach
I tailor each session to the individual’s needs, focusing on areas such as:
- Goal setting and achievement
- Building confidence and self-awareness
- Managing emotions and overcoming setbacks
- Preparing for interviews and important decisions

I believe that young people are the best experts in their own lives. My role is to facilitate their journey, offering guidance rather than giving direct answers. As one client shared, “When something comes up, I feel confident because we’ve talked about those things.”

The core belief I instill in students is that solutions always exist. As Mary Poppins says, “Everything is possible, even the impossible.” Let’s work together to help young minds embrace this empowering mindset.
