I work as a life coach for children and was the first life coach for children in the UK. I run coach one to one, run a variety of workshops in schools, have a range of products on self-esteem and teamwork and have written two books - one parenting - The Parents Toolkit and the other - Being Me (And loving it) to be used in PHSE lessons. The latter is a collection of stories to be read out to a class with interactive and fun activities to teach children life skills and problem solving skills.
\nI am creative and passionate in empowering children of primary school age and do this though getting them see how great they are and what they are capable of. I am currently working on more self-esteem and problem solving products.
\nI am around for book week and am able to run workshops on writing books and also on friendships, self-esteem etc.
