A-level results land on 13 August. GCSEs on 20 August. Then September arrives.

For a lot of families, the next few weeks hold more than one big change.

Results. A new school. Sixth form. A first term at university. Or simply a summer of not quite knowing what comes next.

The weeks around a transition can be harder than anyone expects, and not only for the young person going through them.

Parents often describe the same thing. Wanting to help. Not being sure whether to say something or leave it. Asking how things are and getting "I'm fine."

Nobody has to be struggling for this to help.

Most people accept that looking after your body isn't something you leave until you're unwell. The same is true of the mind.

Confidence Self-awareness Managing pressure Decision making Resilience

The goal isn't a life without challenges. It's being ready to meet them.

What a discovery session involves

1
You book a time

Evenings and weekends available. Takes about a minute.

2
We talk for 30 minutes

Usually with you first. Your child joins if and when you decide.

3
We explore what's going on

What the next few months look like and what you'd like to be different.

4
Nothing is decided

No cost, and no expectation that you continue.

"Kellie's work with our most vulnerable students was exceptional. She built trust where others hadn't, and created real, lasting change. Her contribution to our school community was invaluable."

Inclusion & CLA Lead, Secondary School

"Kellie has a wealth of experience in supporting children and in working with a range of staff and external professionals within school settings. Her tailored approach and dedication to gain the best outcomes both academically and emotionally for our students has been invaluable."

Headteacher, Secondary School

"Thank you for consistently believing in me and giving me hope for the future. I wouldn't have believed anyone if they told me I would be talking to people about my feelings about a year ago!"

Year 11 Student

"Kellie was able to work in partnership with the school and other agencies, to support the students to settle in school comfortably and confidently, enabling them to develop their learning potential and peer relations."

Welfare Coordinator, Designated Lead Person

"My child won't want to do this."

That's one of the most common things parents say, and it's completely reasonable.

Young people don't need to arrive knowing what they want to talk about. What often helps is that coaching is independent: a space outside the family, and outside school.

Coaching may be a good fit if your child is:

  • Preparing for a new school, sixth form or university
  • Feeling less confident than they used to
  • Thinking a lot about results or what happens next
  • Finding a change harder than they expected
  • Looking to build confidence and self-belief

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching helps young people move forward by building confidence, self-awareness, resilience and practical skills. Volare does not provide therapy, diagnosis or crisis support. If another kind of support would suit better, we'll say so openly.
Is it online or in person?
Both. In-person sessions are available across Greater London. Online sessions are available anywhere in the UK. Many families mix the two.
Will I be involved as a parent?
Yes, and how much depends on your child's age and circumstances. We agree it together before coaching starts, so nobody is unclear about what's shared.
How quickly can we start?
Discovery sessions are usually available within the same week.
