About
My name is Naomi Richards and I believe I am the only Life Coach in the UK that works with children as young as six years old. Having worked informally with children for many years, helping them work through their emotional and behavioural problems, coaching children is the perfect vocation for me.
I have not always been a life coach for children. I used to work in marketing but after starting a family I decided I wanted to work for myself and do something that I was really passionate about and make a difference. I loved being creative, I was good at helping others work towards solving their own problems and enjoyed being around children. When I put them all together my ideal career was created – Life coaching for kids!
I have been a Life Coach for Children since 2004 and am very passionate about my work. I love helping children see that there is more than one way to solve a problem – there are lots! Some are common sense and practical but most are innovative, creative and original.
If children are committed to the coaching process then the ideas discussed in sessions can really help to change their behaviour, thoughts and feelings for the better. They can feel an immediate positive change in their lives.
I work face to face with children and also do Skype telephone coaching. I run workshops for children, I am part of a regular radio parenting show for 3 Counties Radio and I write for many parenting, teenage and womens magazines. I am a motivational speaker, media spokesperson and I am involved in helping give children a voice in divorce through a Government backed initiative.
I regularly attend courses on parenting, I have mental health awareness knowledge and a qualification in nutrition which I know helps when I am working with children. I also have a wealth of experience working with children who have learning difficulties and ADHD mainly helping them with listening and communication skills.
