What ages do you support?

I mainly work with children and young people from around 6 to 18, although younger children can sometimes benefit too. If you’re not sure, just ask.

What happens in a coaching session?

Sessions are relaxed, creative and led by the child or young person.

We might chat, draw, journal, use sensory tools, play a game, get outside, go for a walk or use movement to help make sense of what’s going on.

Sometimes the best conversations happen when we’re not sitting face-to-face!

I also offer outdoor sessions where appropriate, using nature, movement and the environment around us as part of the coaching.

There’s no pressure to sit and talk for an hour. We’ll find what works for your child.

What if my child doesn’t want to talk?

That’s absolutely fine.

Talking isn’t the only way to communicate. We can use drawing, activities, movement, sensory tools, being outdoors or simply spend some time getting comfortable.

There’s no pressure to talk.

Do you offer outdoor sessions?

Yes! 🌿

Being outdoors and moving can be a really natural way for children and young people to relax, talk and process what’s going on.

Depending on the child and what we’re working on, sessions might include walking, movement, exploring nature or simply spending some time outside.

It doesn’t have to look like traditional coaching — and that’s rather the point!

Do you work with neurodivergent children?

Absolutely.

My approach is neuroaffirming and sensory-aware, and I have lots of experience supporting neurodivergent children and young people.

I work with each child as an individual and adapt sessions around what helps them feel comfortable, understood and able to engage.

Can parents stay during sessions?

Yes. Some children feel more comfortable with a parent nearby, while others prefer their own space.

We’ll work out what feels right for your child.

Do you work with parents too?

Yes. Sometimes the person who needs a bit of support is you!

You can book a session to talk through what’s happening at home, understand your child’s behaviour and work out what might help.

How long is a session?

Sessions are usually 60 minutes, although I always work at the pace of the child or young person.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. I offer online coaching as well as sessions in West Fife.

Online sessions can be particularly helpful for children and teens who feel more comfortable in their own space.

How many sessions will my child need?

There isn’t a set number.

Some children need a short block of support, while others benefit from working together for longer. We’ll review things as we go and make sure the support still feels useful.

Do you diagnose?

No. I don’t diagnose or assess.

My role is to support emotional wellbeing, confidence, self-awareness and practical strategies.

If you’re considering an assessment or diagnosis, I can help you think through what your next steps might be.

What is Coorie In Your Pocket?

Coorie In Your Pocket is my £25-a-month online membership for families.

It includes a growing library of practical resources, calming audios, stories and ideas, plus a friendly online community and a monthly online Coorie In Drop-In.

You can use it on its own, while you’re waiting for 1:1 coaching, alongside coaching or as a natural next step after coaching.

What if 1:1 coaching isn’t right for us?

That’s completely okay.

Coaching isn’t the right fit for every family, and sometimes it’s simply not practical because of time or cost.

Coorie In Your Pocket gives you a more flexible and affordable way to access support and resources when you need them.

What if my child is nervous about coming?

That’s completely normal.

There’s no expectation that they have to walk in and immediately start talking about their feelings!

We’ll take things slowly, get to know each other and find a way of working that feels comfortable for them.

Where are you based?

I’m based in West Fife, and I also offer online sessions.

Outdoor sessions can also be arranged where appropriate.

How do I get started?

We start with a friendly chat.

You tell me a little bit about what’s going on, I listen, and together we work out what might be the best next step.

Not sure what you need? That’s okay too.
