"Finding the Shine in Young Minds"

Child & Adolescent Mental Health Coaching

Hi - Welcome to Sunny Day Coaching. I'm Zoe and I'd like to introduce you to coaching - a fresh approach to supporting your child's mental wellbeing.

Unlike counselling, which often focuses on the past, coaching focuses on the here and now, empowering young people to thrive in the present and in the future.

Together, we'll engage in creative activities that dive into behaviours, feelings and thoughts, and set meaningful and achievable goals each week.

Your child or teen will be equipped with the tools they need to embrace a growth mindset, gain confidence and strive forward...

I love Lego making - it never ever bores me - the focussing, the creating, the satisfying achievement of completion! 😊 The positive endorphins are so needed when I’m tired or need a boost.

I didn’t plan to get creative, it just happened in a moment of quiet!

Sunday is a day to rest, recharge and relax, which I completely understand is easier said than done. 🤗

It’s good for our children to reset too and “doing nothing,” is healthy for their mental wellbeing. ❤️

Children. Need. To. Do. Nothing!

When they’re “bored” they too become creative. Frequently, they don’t have an opportunity to be “bored.”

So my ponderings today are this…I wonder what would happen if we let our Children be bored, asked them to down their phones for a few hours, switch off the Xbox, and hang out! 🤔

My feelings are it would initially be met with negativity but it would soon dissolve into a fun creative and connecting time… 🥰. I wonder if they would get the Lego out that’s been gathering dust for a while?

Happy Sunday all…

With love, Zoe 😘

Putting ourselves in scary places is all part of life!

Advertising and putting myself out there is brave and very much out of my comfort zone!! Which is probably strange to hear, considering I post videos … sometimes we have to be vulnerable to move forward, and asking for help is bold!

Thank you to @villageeyemagazine who were great at hand holding. This is all very new to me - new business and being self-employed.

This is one of the many steps, I would share with children I work with - we have to be brave, to get out of our comfort zone, even when it’s a very very scary place to be. When our bodies say no and our mind isn’t saying yes… self doubt is damaging and we need good people and support around to help and get us out of the boat and into the deep water! There will be a bit of splashing about but that’s ok too… mistakes will be made along the way…it’s how we learn. 😊

So grateful to my husband too - he’s been amazingly supportive. It’s his birthday today so a massive happy birthday and a big big thank you to him! @barnyrelf 🍰 🎁 🎂 🥰

These 2 weren’t playing ball today!!

No way were they posing for the camera! 😂

Happy Sunday. 🤗 ❤️ ☀️

🌱 Small steps still matter. Each one builds confidence, even if things don’t go to plan. #EveryStepCounts #ConfidenceBoost

At Sunny Day Coaching, I support children to take steps forward, guided and always child-led. 🌞 #ChildLed #PositiveSteps

For some it might be:
✨ Making a phone call they’ve been putting off
✨ Speaking up in class
✨ Sharing a friendship worry

These “small” steps can lead to big change. 💛 #SmallStepsBigChange #EmotionalWellbeing

And for parents, it’s okay if progress feels slow. Small steps are still steps forward. 🌱

“Whatever your results - you are enough…”

Results don’t define our children but in the moment of opening the email, the brown envelope, it feels like they do….

GCSE results are collected today and many teens (including our own,) will be feeling a mix of emotions - fear, worry, anticipation, exhilaration, relief… whatever the results are, it’s always good to expect the unexpected! 🥰

Today is a day to “be there” for our children, sharing the moment, and letting them feel all their emotions. It’s tough for us as carers too, our nerves can be as much as there’s… 🥰

Sending love and hugs to you all. ❤️

🌟 What does a first session look like? 🌟

A first session is all about helping your child feel safe, relaxed and understood. It is the start of building trust and supporting their #EmotionalWellbeing. 💛

✨ We begin with a simple “Getting to know you” sheet.
✨ Then we play a game, often Jenga, with gentle questions around emotions. This helps open up conversations in a fun, safe way, building #Confidence and #Resilience.
✨ Finally, we finish with some breathing, grounding or mindfulness. These are powerful life skills for #CalmKids and especially important for children who may feel worried or anxious.

Every session is adaptable and individual. They are shaped around your child’s needs, goals and understanding of coaching. No two sessions are ever the same. 🌈

If you would like to explore how #ChildCoaching can support your child, I would love to hear from you.

This is what I will be saying to the teens I work with “Whatever your results, you are enough…”

🥰 Today will be a mix of emotions in so many households…. Excitement, delight, relief, worry, upset, fear - in the moment it’s a lot for our teens to deal with!

Today is a day for them to feel all their emotions, and for us as parents and carers to “be there,” for them whatever their results.

Sending love and hugs to all of you… 🥰

💛 "It’s ok to ask for help"

If your child or teen is finding things hard, reaching out for support is a first step. It shows how much you care.

☀️ At Sunny Day Coaching, I offer a safe, understanding space for children and young people to talk, build confidence and find ways forward. You are never alone in this.

✋💛 It’s OK to say NO

For children & teens, “no” isn’t rude, it’s a healthy way to set boundaries, protect our energy, and build confidence. 🌱

In coaching, we explore this in gentle, practical ways:
🌀 Noticing the physical feelings we get in our stomach or chest when something doesn’t feel right.

🎨 Using drawing to help express what’s hard to put into words.

💬 Practising the words and tone so saying “no” feels safe and natural.

Boundaries help us respect ourselves and others. They give us space to grow, choose, and feel safe in our own decisions.
