Do you offer mentoring?
Yes — I support children/young people with anxiety, friendships, school challenges, social confidence, and managing emotions.

Do you teach 1:1 or groups?
Both. One-to-one lessons are tailored to each child; small groups run when there’s enough interest, with a focus on collaboration and communication.

Online or face-to-face?
Both. Online via Teams (simple to use). Face-to-face may be possible depending on location.
