Kathy ‘Now Then’ Coaching Ltd

Focusing on Now, Growing from Then

I left teaching to fight for the ‘unreachable’ or ‘unseen’ children.

Now Then! No child is bad! I’ve supported adults to pause before shouting and reconnect.

You aren’t failing because they’re melting down. You’re failing because you take it personally.

See ‘meltdowns’ as a gift. What are they telling you and how can we fix this. That’s where I help!

Check out the amazing testimonials which shows you the impact that Kathy from Now Then Coaching has made for children and young people.

Supporting a Reception aged boy in school, who was struggling to manage his emotions and importantly feel included with his peers. At risk of exclusion and not fully back with his peer group.

He’s opening up more about his feelings… looking back at what he’s learnt in his sessions…(with Kathy) you’ve become an important part of his journey.

“We were really sceptical at first,” “You hear ‘coaching’ and you think it’s just adults talking about feelings. But Kathy’s different. She gave us practical things to use straight away.” “The first few weeks were about spotting the small stuff. Kathy showed us how to notice without overreacting. That alone changed things.
