Navigating the Path
of Growth and Change

The teenage and young adult years are a time of significant transition and discovery. My 1:1 coaching for this age group is specially designed to support you through the unique challenges of this life stage, from academic pressures to major life changes, all while managing the complexities of eating disorders or disordered eating.

Balancing Studies and Sports:
We'll work together to find a healthy balance between your academic responsibilities and sports or extracurricular activities. It's about managing time and stress effectively, ensuring that neither area overwhelms the other.

Valuing Social Time:
Spending time with friends is crucial during these years. Our sessions will explore ways to enjoy these moments fully, without the shadow of eating challenges, fostering a sense of normalcy and joy in your social life.

Enhancing Communication with Parents:
Navigating communication with parents can be tricky. We'll develop strategies to improve this dialogue, ensuring your needs are heard and understood, while also respecting your growing independence.

Managing Academic Pressure:
The stress of academic achievement can be immense. Together, we'll tackle strategies to cope with this pressure healthily, ensuring it doesn't exacerbate eating disorder symptoms or hinder your well-being.

Transitioning to Post-Secondary Life:
Moving from high school to university or college is a major transition. We'll focus on strategies to navigate this change, from adapting to new environments to maintaining a healthy routine, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

Living Away from Home:
For the first time away from home, we'll cover essential skills and coping mechanisms to manage this newfound independence, ensuring you maintain a healthy relationship with food and your body.

Adapting to University Life:
The first few years of university bring a host of changes - new environments, new friends, and new challenges. Our coaching will provide a steady support system as you navigate these changes, helping you build resilience and confidence.

Addressing Returning Symptoms:
If you've had success in treatment before and are noticing symptoms re-emerging, our sessions will be a space to address these concerns head-on, reinforcing previous successes and building new strategies for continued progress.

Your Journey to Self-Discovery:
These years are not just about overcoming challenges; they're about discovering who you are and what you want from life. Our coaching will support you in this journey of self-discovery, ensuring you emerge stronger, more confident, and ready to take on the world.
