16+ Mentoring & Support

Neuroaffirming mentoring to build confidence, independence and life skills.

Does Your Young Person Need Extra Support?

The transition into adulthood isn't always straightforward.

Many young people face challenges with confidence, anxiety, executive functioning, education, employment, social relationships, emotional regulation and independence.

For neurodivergent young people in particular, the expectations of adulthood can feel overwhelming without the right support in place.

Whether your young person is struggling to find their path, build confidence, establish routines or prepare for the future, they don't have to navigate it alone.

I'm Kathryn Stimpson, and I provide practical, neuroaffirming mentoring that helps young people recognise their strengths, overcome challenges and move confidently towards adulthood.

My Neuroaffirming Approach to Mentoring

  • Build Confidence Through Understanding

    Young people thrive when they feel understood, valued and accepted for who they are.

  • Strengths First Approach

    Rather than focusing on deficits, we identify strengths and build on what is already working.

  • Practical Life Skills

    Together we'll develop strategies and tools that can be applied in everyday life.

  • Working at Their Pace

    Support is tailored to individual needs, goals and readiness for change.

  • Preparing for the Future

    Whether the goal is education, employment or greater independence, mentoring is designed to help young people move forward with confidence.

How Can I Help?

I support young people with:

  • Building confidence and self belief

  • Managing anxiety and emotional wellbeing

  • Executive functioning and organisation

  • Developing independence and life skills

  • Creating healthy routines

  • Preparing for further education or employment

  • Building confidence as a neurodivergent young person

  • Goal setting and motivation

  • Building resilience and self advocacy

  • Practical support during key life transitions

  • Securing work experience and volunteering

  • Applying for work experience, employment, education and training

  • Liaising with relevant agencies and professionals

Every mentoring programme is personalised to the young person's strengths, goals and pace, creating practical progress that lasts.

Not Sure Which Option Is Right?

Choosing the right support can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already carrying so much.

Many families start with an Initial Support Consultation so we can explore what's happening together and decide which level of support, if any, is right for your young person.

There's no pressure and no obligation. Just an honest conversation about how we can help your young person move forward with confidence.

  • £27

    A gentle first step to understand what's happening and where to begin.

    This relaxed 30 to 45 minute online consultation gives us the opportunity to explore your young person's current situation, identify the biggest challenges, and discuss the most appropriate support options.

    Together we'll talk about areas such as education, employment, executive functioning, emotional wellbeing, routines, sleep, motivation and confidence, helping you leave with greater clarity and practical next steps.

    Ideal for families who are unsure which support option is right for them.

  • £97

    Practical advice and guidance for parents who want expert support.

    Sometimes you don't need ongoing mentoring. You simply need someone who understands neurodivergence to help make sense of what's happening and provide practical advice you can start using immediately.

    During this one hour online session we'll discuss your young person's individual needs and explore realistic strategies around communication, routines, motivation, executive functioning, emotional regulation and sleep.

    Includes

    • 60 minute online consultation

    • Tailored advice specific to your family

  • Two Sessions Per Month

    £197 per month

    Gentle, consistent support that helps young people move forward at a pace that feels achievable.

    Building confidence, independence and resilience doesn't happen overnight. Regular mentoring creates a trusted relationship where young people feel safe to explore challenges, celebrate progress and develop practical life skills.

    More frequent support for young people who need greater consistency.

    Weekly mentoring provides a dependable anchor during periods of significant change or increased challenge. Regular contact allows us to build trust, respond quickly to difficulties and maintain momentum towards long term goals.

    This package is particularly valuable for young people experiencing burnout, anxiety, transitions into employment or education, or those requiring more intensive practical support.

    Includes

    • Four 60 minute mentoring sessions each month

    • Weekly accountability and encouragement

    • Ongoing work around confidence and independence

    • Practical support with applications, forms and life admin

    • Support between sessions where appropriate

    Ideal for young people who benefit from regular structure and ongoing encouragement.

  • Every young person is different, and sometimes the support you need doesn't fit neatly into a monthly package.

    Whether you're looking for occasional mentoring, more intensive support, help with EHCP paperwork, college transitions, employment preparation or a completely tailored programme, we can build a package around your family's individual circumstances.

    Together we'll create a flexible support plan that works for your young person, your goals and your budget.
