I'M A PARENT
I WORK IN A SCHOOL

At Rising Minds, the work is grounded in a simple belief:

When young people understand themselves and build the inner resources to handle life’s challenges, everything changes. 

Confidence grows, choices become clearer and they move from simply coping to genuinely thriving. 

Whether you're a school or a parent, this is where that journey begins.

Rising Minds works with schools to help students develop self-awareness, confidence and the inner resources to manage themselves - in the classroom and beyond. 

Through 1:1 and group coaching, students gain practical tools that reduce escalation and complement your existing pastoral support.

The Rising Minds Method™

THE FRAMEWORK BEHIND THE WORK

Everything at Rising Minds Coaching is underpinned by The Rising Minds Method™ - a five-foundation coaching framework developed over 25 years of working with young people, grounded in positive psychology and adolescent development.

Most coaching stops at step four. The Rising Minds Method™ includes step five because real change happens in the real world, not just in sessions.

  • A deep dive into strengths, values and who they really are. When young people know themselves, they have an anchor - they can make choices that align with who they actually are, not who they think they should be.

  • Education about the developing adolescent brain - why they feel and react the way they do. When they understand this, they stop thinking something's wrong with them. They realise they're human. And that changes everything.

  • Identifying the tools they already have and building the confidence to use them. Because the resources are already there, they just need someone to show them.

  • Understanding that they have a choice about how they respond, what they focus on and what they believe. This is where agency begins and where real growth takes hold.

  • Insight in the room isn't enough on its own. We identify a trusted person in their life - a parent, a teacher - who understands their toolkit and can support them when life gets hard. This is what makes the work last.
