Young people open up when they feel truly understood — not assessed.
Synapse Coaches combine professional training with lived experience of mental health challenges, so your child is talking to someone who has walked in their shoes and genuinely gets it.
Young people engage because Coaches understand struggle from the inside making it feel real and relatable.
Synapse Coaches are typically in their 20s and 30s. People who have navigated their own experience of mental health challenges and come out the other side. They’re not far removed from what your child is going through. That’s not accidental. It’s why young people talk to them when they won’t talk to anyone else.
Every Synapse Coach Is:
Trained, certified and clinically supervised
All coaches receive CPD certified training and are supervised and supported by a team of registered mental health professionals.
Personally matched to your child
We match each young person with a Coach based on personality, background and what they’re going through. Getting the relationship right from the start is what makes everything else possible.
Part of a bigger care team
Coaches are backed by Synapse clinicians and a dedicated support team to ensure structure, oversight and progress.
Fully DBS-checked and safeguarding compliant
So you can feel confident your child is in safe, professional hands.
