Coaching for children and adults.

The Ollie Model is a playful and fun way to learn about your emotions and how to control them, making it an excellent choice for coaching for children and adults. We all experience moments of feeling overwhelmed, which can negatively impact our emotional wellbeing. Wouldn't it be wonderful to feel empowered and capable of change instead of helpless and trapped? This is precisely what Ollie Coaching can offer you.

Ollie coaching can assist with a variety of challenges you may be experiencing. I can help you reduce feelings of anxiety, overcome phobias, support weight loss, and enhance self-esteem and confidence, among other benefits. These techniques are particularly effective in coaching for children and adults alike, making them versatile for all age groups.
I employ a range of strategies that target the root emotional cause of a behaviour, aiming to transform the underlying emotion, which should lead to a positive change in behaviour. My focus is on addressing the cause rather than just the symptom, promoting emotional wellbeing effectively.

Ollie Coaching utilises Neurolinguistic Programming techniques to help both children and adults reframe past events and attach new emotions to them. While we cannot change the past, we can control how we react to future events. That's the essence of Ollie Coaching; it equips you with an emotional toolkit to respond to future situations differently and in a more positive way, enhancing your emotional wellbeing.
This then enables you to move into the future feeling confident that you can handle any situation.
Emotion Explorers is a six-week coaching program for children that focuses on emotional wellbeing, helping them understand and take control of their emotions instead of being controlled by them. Each week, we explore a different aspect of emotional wellbeing, including Big Worry, The Library, and Circles of Control. Through engaging and interactive activities, children will learn that their emotions are just one part of themselves and that they have the power to change them.
This course is based on the award-winning Ollie coaching model developed by Alison Knowles. Participants will receive a workbook to complete during hour long group sessions and will earn a certificate upon finishing the course. The course is available for small groups, individuals or in schools.
If you would like to know more about how this course might help your child or if you work in a school please get in touch for a no-obligation chat.


I have been a teacher for nearly 20 years and a mum for 13 years. With a busy household of three children, energetic dog and wonderful husband life is a whirlwind of clubs, homework, business management and laundry! However when I get some time to myself I like to be in the garden, on a long walk or reading a good book. The outdoors and nature is something that I am passionate about and I try to do something every day that allows me to enjoy that space. Living in Dorset allows me to spend time on some of the most beautiful beaches, woodland and heath in the country.
I came to Ollie coaching purely as a way to support my own children with their emerging emotions. However I realised that the need for emotional coaching was so great that I wanted to work with other children and adults. I am enjoying building my practice and supporting my fantastic clients.

Dorset Ollie Coach offers therapeutic coaching that enables clients to control their emotions in the future. I work with children and adults.
During your first session with me, I will ask you questions to get to know you better and understand what has brought you to me. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process.
A session Dorset Ollie Coach typically lasts for 60 minutes, although session length may vary depending on your specific needs and preferences. Initial sessions may be longer in order for me to fully assess your needs.
I offer an initial free 30 minute consultation to see if we are right for each other and for any questions to be asked.
This is very individual, however we are looking at a relatively short space of time. I have known clients to have got what they need in as few as 2 sessions but some clients might need a bit longer and feel that 6-10 sessions is more beneficial. I believe everyone has the answer within them and my job is to give clients the tools to empower them to find that answer.
During the free 30 minute introductory session you can ask me any questions or chat through any concerns and I will do my best to answer. If you feel that I’m not the right coach for you, I will happily refer you to another coach.
This is very much up to you and how you feel your child will react. I generally think that both children and teens open up more without a parent present, however you might not be comfortable with this at the beginning so this is something we can discuss during the introductory session.
This is very much dependent on the age of the client and the presenting issue. I believe that building rapport at the beginning is essential and sometimes this can take longer especially if the child or teenager is not 100% sold on the idea! Before I meet with the child or teen, I will find out a little more about them such as what their interests are and anything they enjoy. This can help me to ‘step into their world’ which is an excellent way to build rapport.
Sessions are led by the client and I try to keep things as relaxed as possible and fairly playful. Everyone is unique and no two sessions are the same.
