Support & Guidance Services

At Childhood Matters, we recognise that everyone’s journey is unique. There are often times when additional guidance, specialist input or personalised support can make a meaningful difference.

We offer a range of support services designed to promote wellbeing, strengthen self-understanding, build confidence and help individuals navigate the opportunities and challenges they may face at different stages of life. Whether you are seeking practical strategies, emotional support, specialist expertise or help to better understand yourself or those you support, we are here to help.

Our services include mentoring, coaching, parenting support, neurodiversity guidance, wellbeing support and access to specialist professionals, with additional services continuing to be developed in response to the needs of the individuals, families and organisations we work alongside.

Alongside our own services, we are also proud to work in partnership and signpost to trusted professionals who share our values and commitment to providing high-quality, person-centred support.

Whatever your starting point, our aim is to provide supportive, accessible and personalised guidance that helps people feel understood, empowered and able to thrive.

Coaching and menopause support

Online mentoring, support for all

These online sessions offer a supportive space to pause, reflect and make sense of what is happening at home, in relationships, or within yourself. Each session is shaped around the individual, focusing on understanding needs, building emotional insight, and finding practical, realistic ways forward that feel achievable in everyday life. Sessions are delivered online and can be booked individually depending on your needs and priorities.

Other Specialist 1:1 Support

We work in close partnership with a small number of trusted associate specialists.

This means support can be thoughtfully coordinated, with clear communication and a shared understanding of the child, young person or adult’s needs — rather than isolated or fragmented input.

These services can sit alongside our wider support offer where appropriate, helping to ensure a more joined-up and consistent approach.

Please get in touch to talk through your needs so we can help shape the right support around the individual.

Our aim is always to ensure support feels coherent and connected, with the individual at the centre and all input working together in a meaningful way.
