About Me – Life Skills Coach for Young People

Jacqueline Hammond

I’m a life skills coach for young people. I coach overwhelmed young people to become calm and self-assured young adults. I work alongside young people (from age 14) and young adults on the road to independence.

I initially trained as a teacher before going on to work in children’s services and for housing organisations, building up extensive experience working with children, young people and adults, addressing lots of different needs and providing support in all areas of life. I later followed my passion for wellbeing and trained in fitness and health before becoming a life coach.

I help young people with the skills and confidence they need to tackle the challenges of life as a young adult today and achieve their goals. I show them techniques to manage stress and together we get to the bottom of what’s causing their overwhelm. We work on the life skills needed to address the root causes and come up with ways to manage these so that the young person can move forward and make their way in the adult world of studies, work, relationships and family, with positivity.

If you are looking for support and want to learn how to handle the pressures you are facing get in touch to find out more about how my life skills coaching can help.

Testimonials

Jacqueline really helped me to refocus and take charge of my life. She is definitely the best life coach I’ve ever worked with – keeping everything simple, enjoyable and achievable!! -R.D.

From the outset of the coaching sessions, I found Jacqueline to be calm, engaging and a great listener and enabler. She has been able to centre me and my problem, allowing me to identify how best I can take small steps to resolve matters with bite-sized achievable goals each week.

I can’t thank you enough for helping me with some foundations to climb out of my longstanding issues. You have giant skills and wisdom. Thank you so much for your encouragement and your non-judgemental, calm and constructive support – and patience! -D.M.
