Sunny Day Coaching is based in Burghfield Common, Nr. Reading, Berkshire.  10 minutes from the M4 Junction 11.

Six sessions are recommended to ensure consistency and to fully benefit your child. However, I understand that you may prefer to start with a single session for your child to settle. A single taster session is £55. If you then choose to continue, further sessions are charged at £50 each. A block of 6 sessions booked upfront is also available at £50 per session.

A block of 6 weekly sessions is recommended to provide your child with the consistent support they need to thrive. Booking 6 sessions, allows your coach to establish effective tools and goals that will truly make a difference. You have the flexibility to start with fewer sessions if you prefer, after the initial block, you can choose to schedule additional sessions or have them as needed. Please be advised that a block of 6 sessions must be used within 6 months. 

Yes. However, for your child/teen to get the most out of coaching, I recommend an in person meet up.  Connecting face to face is always the better option, however I understand that there are times when online works for families, or if there is significant distance to travel from home. Please keep in mind, that younger children find it harder to engage in online sessions, and if at all possible, in person coaching is advisable. 

Sessions are 50 minutes, though we always follow your child's lead. We talk, we play, we laugh and we work on understanding feelings and building tools for everyday life.

​

Each session is led by what your child needs that day. Sometimes they arrive knowing exactly what they want to talk about. Sometimes I bring the ideas and we go from there.

​

I usually begin our first meeting with simple games such as Jenga, Top Trumps or Would You Rather. This helps create a relaxed atmosphere so your child can feel comfortable and begin building a trusting relationship with me.

​

Future sessions are tailored to your child’s needs. In each session your child will choose something they would like to work on, and we will revisit their progress together in future sessions.

​

Parents and caregivers are welcome to stay for the first 10 minutes to help their child settle in. After this I usually work one to one with the child, as they often feel more comfortable speaking freely in their own space. There is a nearby café which is open until 4pm, or grab a Tchibo coffee at the Post Office, a Costa from Tesco or a Starbucks from the garage! If you would like to wait, you are welcome to remain in your car in the driveway.

Yes, sometimes there will be things to try out between sessions. During coaching we work out what might help and your child gets to practice it in real life.

Coaching can help children who are experiencing anxiety, worry or stress, struggling with confidence or motivation, finding school difficult, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or needing support with boundaries and behaviour.

Your child’s wellbeing is always the priority. While coaching can support many emotional and behavioural challenges, there are some situations that require specialist clinical services.​

​

I do not provide diagnosis, clinical assessment or therapeutic treatment for significant trauma, abuse, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, psychosis, personality disorders or other complex mental health conditions.

​​​

If a child is self harming, expressing suicidal thoughts or is at immediate risk, urgent medical support should be sought through your GP, NHS 111, or emergency services.

​

Where appropriate, coaching may be able to offer supportive, skills based input alongside or while waiting for specialist services. I am always happy to discuss whether coaching is suitable for your child’s circumstances.

Simple! Drop me an email or WhatsApp with a bit of background about your child and what you're looking for. If it sounds like something I can help with, we'll have a quick 20 minute video call to chat it through and make sure coaching is the right fit. If we're both happy to go ahead, I'll send across a booking form, a coaching agreement and an invoice. Once that's all back and payment is received, we're good to go!

I offer coaching sessions Monday - Friday during the school day, after school, and early evening. I also coach on Saturday mornings.  

If you need to cancel or move an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice.

​

I completely understand that illness or unexpected situations can happen. However, appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged in full, as this time has been reserved specifically for your child and cannot usually be offered to another family at short notice.​ In exceptional circumstances, late cancellations may be reviewed at my discretion. If I need to cancel a session and you choose  not to rearrange, a full refund will be given.
