After reading other reviews, I must admit to being slightly sceptical that six sessions could actually make so much difference to our 13 year old daughter and her confidence. I couldn't have been more wrong! Annette was fantastic. After 6 sessions, we have our happy, confident and smiley daughter back! After each session, Annette sent over information about what they had covered, and gave prompt sheets so we could continue this throughout the week. If you are a parent that is still unsure about whether this could be right for your child - take this review as reassurance that it does work! Thankyou so much Annette :-)

Annette was brilliant - excellent advice and real help in a difficult time. Would highly recommend her.

Annette was such an amazing help for our son who lacked self-confidence and self-belief. He was able to engage with her straight away and the sessions together with the 'challenges' she set him after each session really helped him to be able to tackle situations he had previously been avoiding. As parents we felt really involved and were always kept up to date with how we could support him and what we could do as well. We saw both an immediate change in him as well as a lasting effect. I would absolutely recommend CHAMPS and Annette to anyone whose child is struggling with social confidence. Thank you so much Annette!

Our child had very little confidence and self-belief and the sessions with Annette really helped with this. Annette was so accommodating with the sessions adjusting them to meet our childs needs, making them feel comfortable and at ease which in turn enabled our child to sit for the full session and to get the most from it. They have used the techniques Annette shared to build confidence, engage in conversations and also to help manage big emotions. We would recommend working with Annette

Annette helped my daughter with online sessions in the evening. Each session was followed up by an email, a task and a reminder sheet. My daughter found the sessions very helpful. The coaching reminders,actions, and 'mini-missions' were quite beneficial in her progress.
Thank you Annette!

Annette is very professional. Her communication was exemplary, sending details of each session ahead of time and summaries after for us to read.

My son found Annette easy to talk to. At one point he had a fall out with his friendship group and Annette was there to chat with us as parents and pivot from the originals session’s topic. She put in place a thought out discussion to support him and navigate through it.

As a family we were not quite as organised and Annette was very understanding when we were late to a meeting and kindly rescheduled it for us to the next week.

I would like to book some more sessions with Annette as my son goes through school and support him during the stressful days of GCSEs.

Our son just completed a course with Annette from CHAMPS Academy and it was great! He really engaged with it and we've seen such a big difference, would definitely recommend!

We approached Annette to help build confidence in our son. We were very happy with all the work she completed with him, can honestly say that he has really gained a lot of confidence since he met and worked with Annette. Cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone who has children who need to build confidence

Annette is a well accomplished confidence coach who specialises in inspiring children all ages to reach their full potential and free themselves from insecurities that are holding them Back. She is empathetic, articulate and has been working with my son who struggles with social confidence. He has grown and learnt fantastic techniques to overcome his shyness around certain situations and is building resilience and self esteem that will only serve him positively as he transitions into his teenage years. To have Annette coach him is also providing a safe space for my son to discuss any problems , worries or any challenges he faces with the added bonus of having someone to help him with future strategies he can implement in real life . I would highly recommend Annette for your child who faces similar struggles .

It was a pleasure working with Annette during the period my son received emotional resilience coaching. Annette is kind, adaptable and used a gentle and encouraging approach when interacting with my son in helping him to overcome some confidence and resilience difficulties and challenge his thinking patterns. Annette kept me fully in the loop about his coaching and was very supportive in discussing via email any particular difficulties or issues my son was experiencing. We have found the process really useful and it has been great to watch my son's progress. I would definitely recommend CHAMPS academy. Thank you Annette!

I’ve seen a boost of confidence with my daughter, Annette was able to get things over to her that I have tried and failed as a parent.

My 16 year old son was struggling socially with his peers and had a lack of confidence coupled with anxiety.
Within a few weeks, Annette has helped him to essentially "come out of his shell".
He is now more self-assured around his peers, more comfortable within himself and generally happier.
I would most certainly reccomended Annette.
Thank you so much!

We have seen our teen develop his assertiveness and sense of self. He os now better able to consider the impact of his decisions. As a family, we have made simple adjustments to our schedule to allow opportunities him to practise social skills learned from the coaching sessions. There has been a marked improvement in his attitude to school work. The greatest benefit has been the provision of a toolkit of simple steps to follow. This has reduced social anxiety and improved his judgment in tackling situations with teachers, friends, acquaintances and family. We have a calmer, less reticent, happier child and are very pleased with the coaching received. Thank you, CHAMPS.

Annette is very patient and approachable and was really supportive throughout the programme. Thank you

Both my children have worked with Annette at CHAMPS Academy and it has really been a huge benefit to them and has greatly increased their confidence, resilience and ability to cope with life. I would highly recommend.

Annette was recommended to me by another Mum at my sons school. From the minute I first spoke to her she was so kind and warm and understanding of my sons needs. He absolutely loved working with her and was very sad when the initial 6 week sessions ended.
His confidence has got so much better and he is much happier in himself.
I would recommend Annette to anyone and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thank you!!

Annette helped our daughter with 6 online sessions in the evening with each session followed up by an email a task and reminder sheet. My daughter found the sessions very helpful.
Annette is very approachable, knowledgeable, kind and very understanding.

Annette was lovely to work with my son. Very quick response. Explained how the sessions would work and sent us reminders after each session to use at home. Helping his confidence and learning techniques to handle his emotions. The skills learnt are working process but I can see the difference already. It’s just taking that step back and assessing the situation when things are hard. Even I’ve learnt some useful tools to for my everyday to day experiences

Can not recommend Annette highly enough. My 11-year-old son was so nervous about starting senior school and Annette has really helped him manage his anxiety and improve his confidence. Seeing Annette once a month on the Momentum Mentoring programme has been hugely beneficial to him. Thank you so much Annette!

My son was suffering from anxiety and lack of confidence and needed some help. The sessions he did with CHAMPS working with Annette have given him the ability to cope in situations that he previously would have found difficult, his confidence has increased enormously, he has started his first job and his first relationship. It is a joy to see.
