Connect 3 Coaching supports children, families and schools with practical, personalised support that builds emotional awareness, resilience and confidence.
Is this right for you?
Connect 3 Coaching offers a unique approach to caring for your wellbeing.
We support:
Children who:
- Feel anxious, worried, or easily overwhelmed
- Feel stressed about exams, schoolwork, or performance
- Struggle to sleep due to racing thoughts or worry
- Are refusing or struggling to attend school
- Feel lonely or find it hard to make or maintain friendships
- Lack confidence or don’t believe in themselves
- Spend a lot of time on social media or gaming in a way that feels unbalanced
- Feel emotionally overwhelmed or “explode” when things get too much
- Experience frequent meltdowns or shutdowns
- Struggle to understand or express their emotions
- Have experienced bereavement, separation or significant change
- Are going through family changes such as divorce or moving home
Parents who:
- Want to better understand their child’s emotions, behaviour and reactions
- Feel like nothing they try is working or that they’ve “lost their way”
- Struggle to stay calm and regulated when their child becomes distressed or angry
- Feel triggered by their child’s behaviour and find themselves reacting in ways they don’t feel good about afterwards
- Want to feel more confident and consistent in their parenting approach
- Feel overwhelmed by family life and the demands of supporting a child with big emotions
- Worry they are “getting it wrong” or not doing enough
- Are dealing with school refusal, anxiety or challenging behaviour and don’t know where to start
- Want practical tools that actually work in real-life moments, not just theory
Schools:
- Looking for practical, child-focused wellbeing support that complements existing provision
- Seeking early intervention for pupils experiencing emotional or behavioural difficulties
- Supporting children who are waiting for external services and need timely, meaningful support now
- Working with pupils experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, or challenges with school engagement
- Seeing reduced attendance, school avoidance or refusal in some pupils
- Looking to strengthen emotional literacy, resilience and self-regulation across the school community
- Have tried lots of different interventions, but nothing seems to be making a lasting difference
- Wanting to develop a more triangulated approach where communication and support between home, school and the child is prioritised
You’re not alone - and support doesn’t have to be complicated.
When children don’t have the words, behaviour becomes the language, and big emotions can show up as anxiety, withdrawal, frustration, anger, or even meltdowns and refusal. It’s not about ‘fixing’ the child, but helping them understand what’s going on inside. That’s where Connect 3 Coaching comes in, using simple, age-appropriate tools to help children recognise what they’re feeling, understand why it’s happening, and respond in a calmer, more confident way.
How it Works
A simple, supportive process that helps children feel understood, build confidence, and make lasting change.

Head
Understanding what’s going on I take time to understand your child, their experiences, and what may be driving their thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Heart
Building connection and emotional safety I create a safe space where children feel heard, understood and accepted.

Soul
Growing confidence and lasting change I introduce practical, personalised tools to help your child feel more confident and resilient.
How we can support you
Kind words from clients
Tess has been absolutely fantastic with my daughter, someone who struggles to express her emotions and can be extremely anxious. Tess has had my daughter at ease throughout their sessions this year and not only helped her, but she has also helped me too. I would highly recommend.
HayleyCumbria
Tess has been our rock through lockdown, she has had Skype sessions with my daughter, weekly, she has also kept me in the picture of what they have been talking about & how we can help, it has been such a help during these bizarre times, can’t recommend her enough, we’ll definitely be seeing her plenty in the future.
AndreaCarlisle
We were incredibly pleased with the service from Connect 3 Coaching. Tess seems very much in tune with a child she works with and our son felt very good about seeing her. Sessions definitely helped our son become more confident when dealing with issues. We highly recommend the coaching no matter how big or small the issue. As a parent, I’ve also learnt a lot.
