LIZ SORTON | YOUTH COACH
Client Testimonials
"Youth coach Liz worked with my 16 year old son to help him with friendships and anxiety issues. He is a completely different child who now thinks before he speaks and listens to others and does not always focus on the negative but now looks at the positives within a situation. Since working with Youth coach Liz his friendships have grown and he has become a lot more confident. Best money spent on investing to help my son"
"I think X was in a bit of a cloud coming out of lockdowns, etc ... and feeling really overwhelmed with the amount of school work she had outstanding and it was evident after speaking with yourself that she felt relieved and lighter .... she moved on to be able to make decisions as regards to her A-levels , doing her university application, planning for her summer , getting a new job ...so thankyou for giving her the nudge / focus necessary . Apart from her sleeping pattern (not quite sorted ), it feels like she has found her pre-pandemic happy self again!"
"My daughter worked withYouth coach Liz as she was struggling with friendship issues and a poor sleep pattern. The sessions with Youth coach Liz were very valuable for her to find ways of managing the issues she had, she appears to be coping much better at school and is more able to articulate her emotions and able to be calmer in stressful situations . Thank you Youth coach Liz."

Questions You May Have
What does being trauma informed as a youth coach mean when working with my child?
Trauma-informed coaching is an empathetic and understanding approach that acknowledges the profound impact of trauma on individuals. By integrating awareness of trauma into my coaching practices, I create a safe, supportive space for healing and personal development. This approach is designed to empower and uplift, ensuring that every interaction is considerate of past experiences and focused on fostering resilience and growth.
What is solution focused coaching?
Solution-focused coaching for teenagers/young adults and parents of teenagers is a dynamic and empowering approach that concentrates on harnessing existing strengths to achieve personal goals. By focusing on solutions rather than problems, this coaching style encourages young people and their parents to envision their ideal future and take practical steps towards making it a reality. It's about fostering confidence, resilience, and proactive problem-solving skills, enabling young people and their parents to navigate challenges and thrive.
What are the benefits of working with a specialist youth coach not a generalist?
A specialist coach is an expert in their field, offering tailored support to meet specific needs and challenges. With in-depth knowledge and specialised training, I provide focused coaching designed to achieve targeted outcomes. Whether it's navigating complex situations or reaching specific goals, a specialist coach brings expertise and precision to the coaching process ensuring effective and impactful results.
Please get in touch today if I can help with anything or you have any questions? Thank you. Youth Coach Liz.
