Helping children and young people to put their best foot forward every day!

One-on-one coaching for children, teens and young adults to build confidence and resilience and improve well-being.

Who We Help

Rise and Shine supports children from Year 6 through to young adults aged 18-19, helping them to navigate our fast-paced and evolving world with confidence.

The modern world is often exciting and presents us with lots of new and different opportunities and experiences. However as adults we know at times it can also feel overwhelming, even chaotic, leaving us struggling to know how to deal with a situation, with the fear of getting things wrong or even of failure. In children and young people we can see this manifested through a lack of confidence or self-belief, anxiety, feeling stressed, struggling at school, difficulties with friendships, escaping or withdrawing to social media or gaming, etc.

This is when coaching can empower and help.

How Coaching Works

Coaching provides children and young people with a safe and dedicated space to think, in which they can:

Identify the positive change that they want to achieve

Set goals, and the steps needed to achieve them, that will encourage that change

Build self-awareness and self-belief through being solution- and future focused

Recognise their future potential and design their own personal toolkit to help them reach it

About Rise and Shine Coaching

Hi I'm Vicki, it's nice to meet you!

I’m a certified children’s coach and also work for Hertfordshire's Welwyn & Hatfield DSPL team (a partnership group that works with school SENCOs, local SEND organisations and families to improve the support available for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities.) I'm a volunteer mentor with MCR Pathways and most importantly I’m a Mum to two teens!

Some might say I’m just nosey, but I’ve always been fascinated by understanding people, what makes us all tick and why we think, feel and do the things we do. I enjoyed a 20+ year career in qualitative market research doing just that, working for clients including M&S, Sainsbury’s, Toyota, the Open University and HSBC to help them get a richer and deeper understanding of their customers, who they really are as people and how they can best meet their needs.

Being made redundant came as a bit of a shock, but has turned out to be a blessing in disguise...

How we can work together

Coaching programmes are personalised to meet each client’s needs. Below is an outline of the services I offer for families and schools, however please do get in touch to chat in more detail about your needs and how I can help.
