Wellness for Teenagers

Student Wellbeing Mentor
Supporting young people to build confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
School life can feel overwhelming at times. Academic pressures, friendships, family changes, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and the transition through adolescence can all impact a young person's emotional wellbeing. As a Student Wellbeing Mentor, I provide a safe, supportive space where students can talk openly, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in themselves.
1:1 Wellbeing Sessions
Individual mentoring sessions offer students dedicated time to explore their thoughts and feelings in a calm, non-judgemental environment. Together we work on practical tools and strategies to help them navigate challenges and feel more confident both in and out of school.
Areas of support may include:
>Anxiety and worry
>Self-esteem and confidence
>Friendship and relationship challenges
>Emotional regulation
>Exam stress and academic pressure
>Transition to sixth form, college or university
>Motivation and goal setting
>Building resilience and positive mindset
Sessions are tailored to the individual needs of each teen and focus on helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Small Group Wellbeing Sessions
Small group sessions provide a supportive environment where students can connect with others, learn valuable life skills, and realise they are not alone in their experiences.
Group programmes can cover topics such as:
>Managing anxiety and stress
>Confidence building
>Positive self-image
>Emotional wellbeing
>Mindfulness and relaxation techniques
>Communication and friendship skills
>Resilience and coping strategies
Working in a small group encourages discussion, peer support, and shared learning while helping students develop confidence in a safe and nurturing setting.
My Approach
Drawing on my experience as a coach, hypnotherapist, breathwork facilitator, and wellbeing practitioner, I use a gentle, compassionate approach that helps students feel comfortable and supported. My focus is always on helping young people develop the emotional tools they need to thrive both now and in the future.
As well as working privately with families I am available to run sessions in schools, alternative provisions, sports clubs, and community settings.
Helping young people feel calmer, more confident, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges.
Let’s grow from the inside out
Breathe, release, and allow yourself to be supported.
Healing begins the moment you choose yourself
What people say ....
“Hi Melissa. Just wanted to message to say how lovely the breathwork session was. All of the breathwork I'm doing is having a positive impact which so reassuring.”
Sam
“I have been working with Melissa for a few months now as I'm transitioning from being employed into self employment. Melissa has got me thinking about all kinds of things that i just wouldn't have considered before and it means I'm starting my business with a real clear vision of what I want to and how to get there. Before it was just a jumbled mess of lots of different ideas.
I never imagined showing up on social media the way that I have and that's all down to Melissa guiding me step by step, encouraging me to be courageous and my confidence is beyond anything could have imagined 6 months ago"
Emma Taylor
“I just love these sessions. You are so good at it Melissa.”

I felt empowered walking out of our session.I wanted to have clarity on my goals and future but came away with not only that, but pride and appreciation of what I have already achieved.She effectively identified my strengths and helped me to establish my goals and gave me direction providing me with tools to apply decision making.Melissa went above and beyond ... positive, supportive and motivating ... worth her weight in gold”

"I have to say I'm petrified of flying and always have had to have some sort of prescription drug to get me through the flight but still hated it!!! After my breathwork sessio I have been concentrating on my breathing to help with anxiety etc. I have been breathing in for 3 and out for 6 (will up to 4 and 8) and honestly this got me through both flights without any medication!! Can't thank you enough and look forward to booking many more session!"
