Meet the Face Behind
Whole
Child
Coaching
founder of Whole Child Coaching. I am passionate about empowering children and young people to become confident, resilient and happy individuals who feel able to thrive as their true authentic selves.
I am so grateful for over 20 years of working with children and young people. Teaching in mainstream education and Specialist Educational settings, Leading Home Education Coops, Mentoring and Coaching, I have dedicated my career to supporting children not only academically, but emotionally and socially too. I strongly believe that every child deserves to feel understood, valued and capable of success.
I am passionate about reforming education and recognizing that children learn and flourish in different ways.
Hi, I’m Holly Jayne,
My own lived experience of growing up with autism spectrum disorder and mental health challenges has given me a deep understanding of the pressures many children and young people face today.
It allows me to approach every child with empathy, compassion and genuine understanding, creating a safe and supportive environment where they can grow in confidence and self-belief.
Alongside my work in the UK, I have been fortunate to teach in East Africa for an incredible 5 years in a year 4 class. I also supported the wider community by developing curriculums for local schools, delivering therapeutic activities within children’s group homes, and mentoring young people navigating trauma and adversity. These experiences had a profound impact on me and further strengthened my passion for inclusion, emotional wellbeing and ensuring every child feels seen, supported and valued regardless of their background or circumstances.
Lastly I could not write an ‘about me’
without mentioning my main personality trait,
My dog,
Angel.
Cheeky, Confident and my pride of joy.
I can not say she won’t be making an appearance at our coaching sessions.
