Who is this for?

This service is suitable for:

  • Neurodivergent teens who are currently stable enough to engage with coaching
  • Parents and carers seeking practical guidance and emotional support
  • Professionals looking for a gentle, person-centred space for a young person
  • Young people wanting to build independence and confidence

Calm Pathways is a gentle, person-centred coaching service dedicated to supporting young people with SEND and mental health needs. We provide a warm, reassuring environment designed to help navigate life's challenges at a manageable pace.

This is not for:

  • Crisis situations requiring immediate emergency intervention
  • A replacement for CAMHS, social care, or specialist medical treatment
  • Unmanaged high risk that needs urgent or acute mental health support
  • Situations where specialist medical input is the primary requirement

  • Support navigating challenges around school or home life
  • A dedicated space to talk openly about worries and hopes
  • Building confidence through gentle, person-centred guidance

Our Approach

Calm Pathways offers gentle, person-centred coaching designed specifically for SEND teenagers and young people. I provide a warm and reassuring space where every individual feels truly heard and understood.

Our sessions progress entirely at the young person’s own pace. We focus on small, realistic steps to manage anxiety and everyday challenges at school, at home, and in wider life, building confidence through manageable progress.

I work collaboratively alongside parents, schools, and professional services such as CAMHS or GPs. Your privacy is paramount; all information remains confidential unless there are serious concerns regarding safety.

Coaching Services

Calm Pathways offers gentle, person-centred coaching for SEND teenagers and young people, with options for one-to-one and, where suitable, small group sessions. We provide a free 30-minute consultation to see if coaching is the right fit before any ongoing sessions are agreed.

Book a Free 30-Minute Consultation

I invite parents, young people and professionals to join me for a gentle chat to understand your needs and answer any questions you may have. This is a simple way for us to see if person-centred coaching is the right fit for you. There is absolutely no pressure to continue, and your details are kept private unless there are specific concerns regarding safety.

About Corinna

As a coach specializing in supporting neurodivergent young people and their families, my role is to provide a bridge between where you are now and a calmer, more manageable future. I bring extensive experience in working with SEND teenagers, helping them navigate the unique challenges of school life, transitions, and mental health needs through person-centred coaching.

I understand the complexities parents face when seeking the right support. My approach is warm, clear, and deeply rooted in empathy. Whether working directly with a teenager or supporting a family through the SEND pathway, I ensure that every individual feels truly heard and empowered to take small, meaningful steps forward.

Your Safety & Confidentiality

  • Confidentiality: What is shared in our sessions stays private and secure.
  • Safety: In rare cases where I am concerned for someone’s immediate safety, I may need to share information with relevant professionals to keep them safe.
  • Boundaries: This coaching is not a replacement for medical care. I work collaboratively alongside existing clinical support.

What to Expect from Coaching

Coaching with Calm Pathways is gentle, structured and led by you.

In our sessions, you can expect:

  • A calm, one-to-one space where you can talk freely
  • No pressure to share more than you want to
  • Small, realistic steps that fit your life
  • Space to explore feelings, worries and hopes at your own pace
  • Optional check-ins with parents or carers, if that feels helpful and safe

Achieve more confidence in school, improved attendance, reduced anxiety, a clear plan, mindfulness, and the freedom to go outside.
