Training for those who work with young people
The adults around a young person matter enormously. This training is for you.
Whether you're a teacher, pastoral leader, youth worker, trainer, mentor or support staff...
…the young people you work with need you to feel equipped calm and confident.
The workshops on offer are practical, jargon-free and grounded in 25 years of experience of working with teenagers.
I offer half day and full day workshops for schools, multi-academy trusts, youth organisations, training centres and teams working with young people in any setting.
What the training covers
Understanding the adolescent brain without the jargon.
Staff self-regulation and calm authority.
Flight, fight, freeze and fawn in vocational and school settings.
Early intervention through mentoring relationships.
Supporting anxious and withdrawn young people.
Workshops can be delivered as a standalone or a series. Bespoke content for individual teams is also available.
“Gill was amazing. Everyone has fed back verbally to me that the sessions were positive and I couldn’t agree more!”.”

Sometimes you need more than a workshop.
With 25 years of youth mentoring experience and a background of communications and project management, I offer consultancy to schools, charities and organisations who want to think more strategically about how they can support young people.
This might include reviewing your pastoral or mentoring provision, developing a peer mentoring programme, or thinking through how to communicate more effectively with parents, staff and funders.
Consultancy is available as a half day or full day, in person or online.
Every school and organsation is different. Get in touch for an informal conversation – no obligation. This is just a chance to explore what might work for you.
