How does it work?
Who is Specialist Coaching for?
- Our Specialist Coaches work with parents and carers of children and young people up to age 25, providing you with the knowledge and skills to support your child and improve family life. Our approach is to empower you to make a difference. We do not work with your children directly but can point you in the direction of further help.
Getting a referral
- Parents and carers can self-refer as private clients and pay for the sessions themselves. A report will not be issued
- Parents and carers can be referred by a professional involved in their child or family’s care. This is often done by the child’s school or a family support worker who will also seek appropriate funding to cover the sessions. A report will be issued
Initial Coaching Session
