Who we are
The Power of You
Transformational Mental Health & Wellbeing Coaching
Support, clarity, and confidence — when you need it most.
At The Power of You, we provide compassionate, practical mental health and wellbeing coaching for children, young people, adults, families, and professionals.
Our purpose is simple: to help you understand yourself better, regulate emotions, rebuild confidence, and move forward feeling more in control — even during life’s most difficult moments.
You Don’t Have to Wait to Feel Better
Across the UK, many people are waiting months — sometimes years — for mental health or neurodevelopmental support.
While clinical services are vital, waiting without support can feel overwhelming.
The Power of You exists to bridge that gap.
We work alongside existing services by offering:
Emotional regulation and resilience support
Practical coping tools for stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
Strengths-based coaching for ADHD, autism and neurodiversity
Guidance for parents, carers, and families
Support during periods of transition, grief, or burnout
We do not diagnose or treat conditions — we help you stay well, grounded, and supported while you wait, or simply take control of your wellbeing now.

Message From Mark
Founder of
The Power of You
I’m not a psychologist or an academic.
I’m a Dad, a coach, and a wellbeing professional who has spent over twenty years working alongside children, young people, adults, and families who needed someone to really listen.
Through my work in schools, care settings, sport, and wellbeing, I’ve seen how pressure, comparison, technology, and silence can slowly erode confidence and emotional safety — especially for children who already feel different, overwhelmed, or disconnected. As Dr Gabor Maté reminds us, “The question isn’t why the behaviour — it’s why the pain.”
I’ve lived parts of that journey myself. I know what it feels like to struggle with anxiety, low mood, and feeling out of place — and I also know that with the right support, understanding, and space, people can reconnect with their strength and move forward.
The world our children are growing up in is fast, noisy, and demanding. Too many families feel judged, blamed, or left waiting for help. I founded The Power of You because I believe people deserve support now, not just when systems catch up.
I’m not here to diagnose, label, or tell you how to live your life.
I’m here to walk alongside you — to help you make sense of what’s going on, build emotional strength, and take practical steps forward at a pace that feels right.
Because I believe in The Power of You.
And I believe people do better when they feel seen, supported, and understood.

Pricing & Supported Places
Clear, fair, and compassionate support — with access at the heart.
At The Power of You, we believe everyone deserves access to meaningful wellbeing support — regardless of their circumstances.
At the same time, we believe that work with this level of care, experience, and responsibility must be valued and sustainable.

Supported & Funded Places
Making support accessible — without judgement.
We know that many families and individuals who need support the most are least able to afford it.
That’s why The Power of You offers a limited number of supported and fully funded coaching places.
These places are made possible through:
Donations
Community sponsorship
Business partnerships
Pay-it-forward contributions
Who Supported Places Are For
Supported places are prioritised for:
Children eligible for Free School Meals
Families receiving benefits or experiencing financial hardship
Individuals referred through schools or community organisations
Young people and families waiting for NHS assessment or services
Eligibility is discussed sensitively and privately — proof may be requested, but dignity always comes first.
How the Supported Places System Works
Supported places are limited and reviewed regularly
Clients may be offered:
Reduced-cost support, or
Fully funded coaching, depending on availability
Support length and structure remain the same — there is no difference in care or quality
No one is rushed. No one is judged.
Pay It Forward – Community Support
We also welcome individuals and organisations who wish to fund coaching for others.
This might include:
Businesses sponsoring places for local families
Sports clubs supporting young people
Individuals making one-off or regular donations
Every contribution goes directly towards providing access to support for those who would otherwise go without.
If you’re interested in sponsoring places or partnering with us, please get in touch.
Transparency & Boundaries
It’s important to be clear:
Coaching is not therapy and does not replace clinical services
All coaching follows clear ethical and safeguarding boundaries
Availability of supported places depends on funding and capacity
We reserve the right to review or pause supported places to protect quality of care
This ensures the work remains safe, ethical, and sustainable for everyone involved.
Contact Us
A simple conversation can be the first step.
If you’re here, it usually means something isn’t sitting right — for you, your child, or your family — and you’re looking for support that feels human, understanding, and grounded.
You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to be in crisis. You don’t need to commit to anything yet.
Let’s start with a conversation.
Book a Free Discovery Call
The first step is a free, no-obligation discovery call.
This is a calm, informal conversation where we:
Talk about what’s been going on
Explore what kind of support might help
Answer any questions you have
Decide together whether coaching feels like the right fit
There is no pressure to book and no expectation to continue.
If I don’t feel I’m the right person to support you, I’ll be honest and help signpost where I can.
Who This Call Is For
You’re welcome to book a call if:
You’re a parent or carer worried about a child or young person
You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or burnt out
Your child is struggling emotionally, socially, or with school
You’re waiting for assessment or support and need help now
You work in a school or organisation and want to discuss training or support
You don’t need a referral. You don’t need a diagnosis. You just need to feel that support could help.
What Happens Next
After the discovery call, you may choose to:
Begin 1:1 coaching
Take some time to think things through
Be signposted to other support
Get in touch again later
The decision is always yours.
Support works best when it feels right.
All enquiries are treated with care, confidentiality, and respect.
Safeguarding & Boundaries
The Power of You offers non-clinical wellbeing coaching.
If you or someone you care for is in immediate danger, or requires urgent mental health support, please contact emergency services, your GP, or local crisis services.
We work alongside — not instead of — clinical and statutory services.
You’re Not Wasting Anyone’s Time
Many people hesitate before reaching out, worrying they’re “not bad enough” or that they should cope on their own.
If something feels hard right now, that’s reason enough to ask for support.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
The Power of You
Walking with you, not above you.
