Private Child & Adolescent Mentoring

Specialist Wellbeing Support During Family Transition

I provide private, structured emotional wellbeing support for children and adolescents navigating divorce and family transition in London and surrounding areas. Working directly with families, I offer discreet one-to-one mentoring designed to stabilise confidence, emotional regulation and resilience during periods of separation. My approach is calm, neutral and professionally boundaried, making it particularly suitable for high-profile and high-net-worth families seeking confidential support.

I have worked with UHNW families and internationally mobile families on retainer- based working systems including travel.

WHY THIS SUPPORT MATTERS

Even in amicable separations, children may experience:

  • Anxiety about divided households

  • Loyalty conflicts

  • Emotional withdrawal or behavioural shifts

  • Academic disruption

  • Difficulty expressing feelings safely

In high-achieving or high-functioning families, distress is often internalised.

A neutral adult outside of both parental systems can significantly reduce pressure and provide emotional stability.

SERVICES

1:1 Structured Mentoring

Weekly private sessions tailored to the child’s age and personality.

Focus areas include:

  • Emotional regulation

  • Confidence rebuilding

  • Identity stability

  • Navigating dual households

  • Processing family change safely

  • Maintaining school and peer stability

Sessions are structured but natural in tone — children often describe them as feeling supportive rather than clinical.

Transition Stabilisation Programme

An 8–12 week structured programme designed for:

  • Active divorce proceedings

  • Recent separation

  • Relocation between homes

  • Boarding school transitions during family change

  • Blended family integration

This programme provides consistent weekly mentoring with clear progression and parent communication where appropriate.

Ongoing Wellbeing Support

For families seeking longer-term stability, I offer:

  • Term-time mentoring

  • Three-month stabilisation packages

  • Ongoing private retainer support

Remote or in person (London / Surrey).

HOW I WORK

Initial Consultation

A structured parent meeting to understand family dynamics, current challenges and goals.

Weekly Sessions

50–60 minutes of consistent, child-focused mentoring.

Parent Check-Ins

Scheduled and structured updates where appropriate — always child-centred and neutral.

Professional Boundaries

  • Fully DBS checked

  • Clear safeguarding framework

  • Non-clinical, non-forensic role

  • No legal reporting or court involvement

My sole focus is the child’s wellbeing.

WHO I WORK WITH

  • Children aged 8–17

  • Families navigating separation or divorce

  • Boarding school students

  • High-achieving adolescents masking distress

  • International families with complex living arrangements

MY APPROACH

My work is grounded in developmental psychology and informed by positive psychology principles — focusing on building resilience, confidence and emotional security rather than “fixing” problems.

Children do not need to be repaired.
They need to feel safe, heard and steady.
