When Waiting Isn’t Working

At Synapse, we start from a simple truth:

Young people aren’t broken. They’re under-equipped for the pressures they’re facing.

When coping starts to slip, daily life follows.
Stress builds. Confidence drops. Routines fall away.
And waiting rarely fixes it.

That’s the moment Synapse is designed for.

Support That Fits the Moment. And the Life Stage

Coping challenges look different at different stages, but the pattern is always the same:
when pressures change, coping falls behind.

Whether it’s:

  • a Year 6 child struggling with friendships and confidence

  • a GCSE student overwhelmed by expectations

  • a university student losing structure and independence

Synapse meets young people where they are when things start going backwards, and helps them move forward with practical tools, human connection, and clinically supervised structure.

This is not prevention. It’s structured intervention at the point waiting stops working.

What Synapse Delivers

Synapse combines emotional support with practical skill-building — so progress shows up in how young child feels and how they function in daily life

  • One-to-one coaching that fits real life and builds tools young people can use immediately

  • Relatable, professionally trained Coaches who turn small wins into lasting change

  • Thoughtful matching, so support feels authentic and achievable

  • Clinical supervision throughout, ensuring safety, structure, and steady progress

We Don’t Fix Young People. We Equip Them.

Our role isn’t to rescue or repair. It’s to equip young people to handle life more effectively themselves.

Because when coping improves, daily life improves first and everything else follows.

Who Synapse Is For

Synapse is for young people who want to feel better and function better and for parents who don’t want to keep waiting while things slip further.

Coaching can complement therapy or be the right first step when therapy isn’t the place to start.

We strengthen coping, restore function, and escalate only when needed.

 

Who We Help
Teenagers (ages 11 - 17)

When teenagers are struggling, you see it first in daily life first — increased stress, withdrawal, loss of confidence, friction at home or school.

A parents, we often wait, hoping things will settle.
But when stress, shutdown or avoidance persist, waiting stops helping.

This is when a Synapse Coach steps in.

A Synapse Coach works one-to-one with your teenager to help them stabilise emotionally, understand what’s going on, and take practical steps to regain control over everyday situations that are already feeling unmanageable.

Coaches focus on what’s happening now, helping teenagers cope with school pressure, friendships, and home life, and practise concrete strategies week by week to rebuild confidence through action.

We don’t fix teenagers. We equip them — with a Coach alongside them — to cope and function better in the middle of difficulty.

Who We Help
Young Adults (ages 18 - 25)

For young adults, pressure often becomes overwhelming when independence, study, work, finances and expectations collide.

When coping slips, the impact is immediate: disrupted routines, rising stress, falling motivation, and difficulty keeping life on track.

A Synapse Coach supports young adults when daily functioning is affected and waiting isn’t improving things.

A Synapse Coach is a relatable, steady point of support. Someone who helps young people slow things down, think clearly under pressure, and work through practical next steps to rebuild structure and momentum without judgement or rescue.

Coaching is practical, focused, and rooted in real-world challenges, turning insight into action so young adults cope more effectively with what they are facing right now and will face in the future

This isn’t about fixing or rescuing. It’s about equipping young adults with the skills and confidence to manage life more effectively as it is.

 

Who We Help
For Parents and Guardians

When your child is struggling, being there matters — but knowing what will actually help can be hard.

Many parents wait, hoping things will pass. When difficulties persist, families often need structured support that fits the moment, without jumping straight to specialist services.

For many families, behavioural health coaching is the right place to start.

A Synapse Coach provides practical, one-to-one support when coping difficulties are already affecting daily life — helping your child steady themselves, agree clear action and next steps, and build coping skills by putting them into practice.

Your child is matched with a trained, relatable Coach who works with them consistently, focusing on what’s happening now and how to manage it more effectively.

All support sits within a clinically supervised framework, ensuring safety, quality, and appropriate escalation if specialist care becomes necessary — while your child’s primary relationship remains with their Coach.

Your child works with a dedicated Coach you can trust, someone who helps them build coping skills and regain momentum, supported throughout by professional clinical oversight.
