Coaching & Support Is At The Heart Of What We Do

About The Life Coach & 1-2-1 Coaching

The Life Coach is a mobile mental health service that travels across Gloucestershire to support children and young people. The idea came during the Covid pandemic, when school spaces were full and support rooms were being used for testing. We were struggling to find consistent, safe places to work with young people — and that’s when I remembered a health education bus from my childhood and thought: why not create something like that, but for mental health?

 So we did. Through fundraising, determination, and personal investment, we transformed a bus into a safe, welcoming mental health space on wheels. That’s how The Life Coach was born — a unique mobile service offering coaching, support, and connection for the young people who need it most.

At the heart of what we do is 1:1 coaching — personalised support for children and young people who may be struggling with their emotions, behaviour, trauma, anxiety, or simply the challenges life throws at them. These sessions take place in a calm, creative environment where trust comes first.

We don’t rely on clipboards or tick boxes. Instead, we bring lived experience, practical tools, and a down-to-earth approach to help each young person explore what they’re feeling and build the confidence to move forward.

Every child is different — and that’s exactly how we work. Our coaching sessions are shaped around the individual, offering space to be heard, to grow, and to realise that change is always possible.

This isn’t just about mental health. It’s about reminding young people that they matter — and that someone is always in their corner.
