1 to 1 Mentoring Sessions
I deliver individual sessions with children with the aim to enhance their mental health and well-being, in particular, self-esteem, resilience and positive mindset.
The sessions are based on my ‘Mindfulness and Mindset Mentoring Programme’. The programme helps children (5-15 years of age) with a range of difficulties: anxiety, stress, overwhelming negative thinking, sleep difficulty, anger issues, aggressive behaviour and others.
Each lesson is delivered in a fun and stimulating way gently introducing mindful practices. These regular mentoring sessions have an underpinning structure but are adjusted to the child’s specific needs, preferred learning style and age attributes.
The programme’s underpinning focus is to develop:
Knowledge about how the human brain works, specifically the processes of cognition, concentration and emotional regulation
Skill-set in being aware of and regulating thoughts and emotions
Mentoring Programme
The programme consists of 8 weekly sessions. They contain a wide range of fun practices: mindful eating, mindful movement, children’s meditations and ‘growth mindset’ challenges. A resource pack is provided with the programme. Each sessions lasts 1 hour.
The programme is tailored to individual child’s needs. So, please get in touch for a free half hour consultation so I can create a bespoke course that will support your child. The cost of the 8 week programme is £360 (£45 per pession).
Children nowadays have so many pressures. I can teach them how to connect with themselves and others, how to grow their confidence and resilience to make it easier to overcome life obstacles and fulfil their dreams!
Testimonials
What They Say
“My 10 year old daughter has had a wonderful experience working with Lena. Her mentoring sessions were fun and interesting, and Lena has such a kind and gentle way of working. My daughter felt really inspired by the content covered. She particularly enjoyed learning about the anatomy of the brain, and how the different parts work and control thoughts and emotions.
There were lots of practical exercises that we have been able to bring into our home life – the breathing techniques have been so helpful. My main motivation for the sessions was to give my daughter a tool kit of techniques and coping mechanisms as she enters puberty and as well as to deal more positively with challenges that can arise from school work. Lena has definitely delivered on this and more! She listened so closely to my daughter and I felt she really tailored the sessions to her individual needs which was wonderful. I would say that since the sessions we have been able to talk more openly and positively about emotions and moods at home. Thank you Lena!”
“We have nearly completed our course of mindfulness coaching with Lena and we are so thrilled with our son’s progress. Lena has helped build a greater understanding of emotions, confidence, self esteem and a more positive attitude, all things our son finds tricky. She has gone above and beyond to tailor the sessions and activities to suit our son’s interests in order to ensure he engages with them.
We have noticed a real difference in his attitude and it’s wonderful to see him using the skills he has learnt with Lena to help him navigate himself through situations he finds difficult. The support and guidance Lena has and continues to give us, is invaluable. Lena’s knowledge is extensive, her library of resources seems never ending, she is approachable and always on hand to help in any way she can, she has such a kind and caring nature. Lena is one of a kind and we are so very grateful to have her help to guide us through our journey.”
