Transformative Teen Coaching and Support
Hey, I’m Monique. And if you’re worried about your teen, I can help.
As a former English teacher and certified educational and life coach, I help teens and young people to overcome difficulties and develop the confidence and mindset they need to thrive at school and at life.
Here’s How I Can Support You
My Book
As an English teacher, by far one of the most common conversations I had with parents was about why their teen wasn’t reading. In an increasingly digital world, it’s becoming more and more difficult to convince teens that reading is worth it - and they’re missing out!
So, I went straight the source: my students. I asked them why they didn’t read, what they wished their parents knew and what would actually get them to read, without any fighting.
The result? This book. I took their answers, did the research, and included stories from my classroom experience to write the ultimate guide to getting your teen to read.
My coaching services
Worried about your teen?
Maybe they’re anxious about exams or starting high school or just life in general. Maybe they’re struggling with friendships or bullying. Or your child’s confidence has all but disappeared. Or maybe you’re struggling to connect with them, where every conversation leads to a fight and you’re not sure what to do next.
Coaching can be truly transformational for teens who are going through a rough time. By giving them a safe, judgement-free space to talk, together we’ll come up with solutions that will help them thrive.
My Approach
Relationship first
Every session begins with understanding your teen as a person, and not just a set of problems to fix. I take time to build trust and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, to fully understand how they’re experiencing school, life and themselves. It’s about coaching the person, not the problem.
Connection and presence
It’s a real honour to have the trust of a teen, an honour I take seriously. It’s vitally important to me that every teen in my care feels as though they are heard and understood, without judgement. I’ll show up fully to each session to make sure your teen feels comfortable and safe enough to share their experience.
From insight to action
Coaching often helps to create a real understanding of what’s been getting in the way and what needs to change. This creates a turning point where we turn this insight into action: small, realistic steps that help teens build confidence, shift habits and move forward in a way that feels achievable.
What Students Are Saying
