Helping children and families feel calmer, stronger, and more connected.
At The Power of You, we support children, young people, and families who are navigating emotional, behavioural, or life challenges — whether these show up at home, in school, or in the wider world.
Some families come to us because school feels overwhelming.
Others come because life feels unsettled, emotions are running high, or relationships feel strained.
There is no single reason to seek support — and no single “right” place to start.
When Children Are Struggling
Children don’t always have the words to explain how they feel.
Instead, their struggles often show up as behaviour, withdrawal, anxiety, anger, shutdown, or avoidance.
We regularly support families whose children are:
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally dysregulated
Struggling with confidence or self-worth
Finding it hard to engage in school or learning
Experiencing friendship difficulties or social isolation
Displaying challenging behaviour at home or in other settings
Navigating neurodiversity, identity, or feeling “different”
Struggling after change, loss, or difficult experiences
These challenges are not signs of failure — they are signals that something needs understanding and support.
Supporting the Whole Child -
Not Just the Situation
Our work is not about fixing behaviour or forcing change.
It’s about helping children:
Feel safe enough to express themselves
Understand their emotions and reactions
Develop emotional regulation and coping skills
Build confidence, identity, and self-belief
Strengthen resilience and problem-solving
We take a child-centred, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming approach, always working at the child’s pace.
Support for Children & Families
Support for Parents & Carers
When a child is struggling, the whole family feels it.
Parents and carers often tell us they feel:
Unsure how to help
Emotionally exhausted
Caught between school, services, and home
Worried they’re “getting it wrong”
Afraid of being judged
You’re not failing — you’re carrying a lot.
We support parents and carers by:
Creating space to talk openly and without judgement
Helping you understand what’s beneath your child’s behaviour
Offering practical strategies that work in real life
Supporting calm, consistent boundaries
Rebuilding confidence in your parenting instincts
Strong children need supported adults — and you matter too.
“Children don’t need fixing — they need safe, consistent adults who believe in them.”
How Support Is Delivered
Support for children and families is usually offered through 1:1 wellbeing coaching, delivered online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Coaching may include:
Individual sessions with the child or young person
Parent or carer sessions
Joint sessions where appropriate
Guidance that can be shared with schools or professionals (with consent)
Support is typically structured over 6–12 weeks, with a clear focus and regular review.
School May Be Part of the Picture — But It’s Not the Whole Story
Some children we support:
Are not attending school
Have low engagement or frequent distress in class
Struggle with transitions, routines, or expectations
Feel like they don’t fit within the system
Where school is involved, we help families:
Understand emotional barriers to learning
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
Build readiness and confidence
Support communication between home and school
We are not here to enforce attendance or label children.
We are here to support regulation, connection, and readiness — whatever that looks like for the child.
What Makes Our Support Different
Over 20 years’ experience across education, care, sport, and wellbeing
Calm, relational, and non-judgemental approach
Clear boundaries between coaching and clinical care
Focus on understanding before action
Belief that children do well when they feel safe, seen, and supported
We don’t ask, “What’s wrong with this child?”
We ask, “What does this child need?””
Taking the First Step
If you’re wondering whether support might help your child or family, the best place to start is a conversation.
