**Update 1/8/26 I have capacity for some mentoring work in Cheltenham or Tewkesbury (town) only. If you are looking for some short term or ad hoc mentoring, please get in touch. I also have longer term capacity for online mentoring.*

“I’m an experienced youth and community worker, offering mentoring for adults and young people, support for parent/carers and training“

What’s mentoring?

I will walk alongside you for a period of time in your life. My hope is that we will build a good relationship and that you will consider me a safe person, but I appreciate that will take time. My role is to be there to support you in the season through which you are journeying.

Mentoring can take many forms, and will depend on your age and needs.

It is not counselling or therapy. I am happy to signpost to other services, or to help you find a service that is a better fit for your needs if that becomes necessary.

Mentoring for adults or support for parent/carers will involve either time in a coffee shop or some time walking and talking together. The agenda is yours, and I can help you with an outside perspective and a listening ear. If you don’t live near me, I’m happy to have regular online chats.

Mentoring for young people is an opportunity for 13-17 year olds to spend time with a trusted adult. It could look like meeting for a hot chocolate and a chat, going for a dog walk or visiting places of interest. Mentoring will be led by the young person and my focus will be on building trust and supporting the young person with their goals.

“I will take time to get to know you as an individual and my approach is flexible and adaptable”.

About me: I am a JNC professionally qualified youth worker, I ran a mentoring project for children and young people between 2016-2025. I am currently working for a charity as a Senior Practitioner in local youth clubs.
