Your child is matched with a Behavioural Coach they can relate to. Synapse Coaches are typically in their 20s and 30s, trained specifically to work with adolescents and young adults, and every one of them brings lived experience of mental health challenges. They understand what your child is going through, which helps young people open up and engage.
Trained and certified
Every Coach completes the Synapse Foundation in Behavioural Health Coaching for Adolescents and Young Adults, independently certified by The CPD Certification Service.
Clinically supervised
Clinical supervision is provided by Dr Harriet Mellotte, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, with Professor Sandeep Ranote FRCPsych as Senior Clinical Advisor.
Matched to your child
We match each young person with a Coach based on personality, background and what they are going through. Getting the relationship right from the start is what makes everything else possible.
DBS checked and safeguarding compliant
So you can feel confident your child is in safe, professional hands.
Coaches complete intensive training in behavioural health coaching for adolescents and young adults. Their work draws on evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques, positive psychology, and performance coaching methods such as goal-setting and accountability.
Their own experience means they understand the realities young people face.
Trust helps young people open up and stay engaged. Through that relationship, the Coach helps them work on their challenges and put new coping skills into practice.
Coaches work with you, Mollie and Synapse clinical team. Clinical supervision and reviews keep coaching on track and tailored to your child.
Mollie Royds, our Head of Client Experience and Care Management, will listen, answer your questions and explain how we would match your child with a Coach. The first conversation is complimentary and without commitment.
