Therapies for Children & Teenagers
ADHD Coaching for Teens

Providing students at school and university with practical tools, support, and self-awareness skills to thrive academically and personally, empowering them to reach their full potential in their educational journey.

Somatic ADHD & Autism coaching offers a holistic approach to support individuals with ADHD and Autism.
 
Somatic Techniques: Integrating body-oriented practices like mindfulness and movement to improve self-awareness, reduce stress, and regulate sensory experiences.

Psychoeducation: Providing comprehensive information about ADHD and Autism to reduce stigma, increase self-acceptance, and empower individuals and families to make informed decisions.

Emotional Regulation: Teaching strategies to identify, understand, and manage emotions effectively, improving mood stability and social interactions.

Executive Functioning Support: Offering practical tools to enhance organisation, time management, and problem-solving skills for better daily functioning.

Individualised support: Tailoring sessions to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual and their family, collaborating closely to create personalised strategies for success.

In essence, this approach aims to promote self-awareness, self-regulation, and overall well-being in individuals with ADHD and Autism through a combination of body-focused techniques, education, and tailored support. While coaching complements therapeutic interventions, it is not therapy or a replacement for medication. Instead, it offers practical tools to manage neurodivergent challenges effectively.

Francesca Melluzzi is a well-being  coach, and trauma & mental health informed practitioner through the University of East London. She is a well-being practitioner with 20 years of experience of working with body based therapies using coaching, breath work, therapeutic art, yoga and embodied movement. Her work is based on Hanna Somatics, attachment theory, polyvagal theory with the understanding that stress is released through the body and not just talking alone.

She firmly believes:

- That people thrive when they are made to feel emotionally and psychologically safe. Through demonstrating acceptance, being positively curious, and by truly listening with compassion but without trying to fix.

- That it is possible to create an empowering and nurturing space for any young person, so that over time, it will bring about a sense of trust towards themselves and others, ultimately resulting in them feeling closer to being in their own autonomy.

Francesca has over 20 years experience working as a mentor and wellbeing practitioner and is incredibly passionate about celebrating inclusivity and diversity.

Having been part of the team at Camp Mohawk in Wargrave for the last 4 years, she has developed a particular interest in supporting neurodiverse young people, through the use of art in a therapeutic setting, as well as using movement, sound, and mindfulness as tools and strategies that give people practical ways to manage difficult emotions, and to improve both physical and mental health.
