» Rebuilding Family Life Post Covid-19

Coaching Sessions

Thanks to funding raised during this year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge, as part of the project to Rebuild Family Life Post Covid-19, Rett UK are delighted to be able to offer 10 parent carers a course of 8 dedicated sessions with a holistic practitioner that can help coach them through a bespoke support plan, building their resilience, self – esteem and confidence to deal the challenges they are facing.

Janie Beaumont is a qualified Life coach & naturopath nutrition practitioner. Her life coaching skills enable to her practice a holistic approach to her work. She is also mum to twins, Olive and Tilda. Olive has Rett syndrome so she knows first-hand the challenges families face every day.

These are coaching sessions not counselling; identifying goals and supporting you to develop strategies to help you achieve them. Please note that we have limited spaces and consideration will be prioritised based on the needs of the families.

Please contact Julie Benson via phone 01582 798911 or email julie.benson@rettuk.org at Rett UK if you would like more information or to be considered for family support sessions with Janie Beaumont. Please include details for your reasons for needing this support with a brief outline of your current situation.

The other element of this project is facilitated group sessions to help parent carers build essential skills in challenging & uncertain times; handling uncertainty, reducing anxiety, maintaining resilience, coping with stress, making difficult choices, dealing with change, influencing others, asserting gracefully. Those who are able to take up the offer of the individual coaching sessions with Janie are also welcome to join the group sessions.
