One-to-one coaching
Your teenager, and you, working on different halves of the same thing.
They learn to hold the wheel. You learn what to stop holding. Neither works on its own.
- Two tracks
- Sessions with your teenager, and separate sessions with you.
- Ages 13–17
- The years where this is learned, or not learned.
- Online
- Which suits teenagers better than sitting across a desk.
How it runs
What actually happens.
- 01
You fill in a short form
What is going on, how long it has been going on, and what you have already tried. It takes about five minutes.
- 02
We talk
A call with you, not your teenager. I will tell you honestly whether I think this is the right help — and if it is not, what would be.
- 03
I meet your teenager
One session, no commitment either side. They get a say in whether this continues. A teenager who was sent takes far less from the work than one who agreed to it.
- 04
We begin
Regular sessions with them, and your own sessions alongside. Between sessions there is practice, because nothing changes inside the hour.
Who this suits
Right fit, wrong fit.
Saying this plainly saves you money and saves me a difficult conversation in week three.
This tends to work when
- Your teenager is capable but drifting, avoiding, or arguing with everything.
- You are doing more of the managing than you want to be.
- Your teen is willing to give it one session, even reluctantly.
This is the wrong help when
- Your teen needs clinical support — persistent low mood, disordered eating, self-harm, or anything that frightens you. That needs a qualified professional, and I will help you find one.
- You are looking for someone to make your teenager comply. That is not what this is, and it would not hold.
- You want results in a fortnight. Practice does not compress.
What I will and will not tell you
Your teenager's confidence is the whole asset. I do not spend it.
You will hear what we are working on — themes, direction, what you could do differently at home. You will not hear what your teenager said, or how they seemed, or what they wrote.
That boundary is not a policy detail. It is the reason a fifteen-year-old says anything true in the first place.
The one exception is safety. If something suggests a young person is at risk of harm, I act on it and involve the right adult — and I tell your teenager that at the start, in plain words, rather than promising a secrecy I cannot keep.

Book a discovery call.
A short form, then a call. I read every one myself, and I will tell you honestly if I think Arth is not the right fit.
