CHAMPS Academy is just what my daughter needed

I am so glad that I discovered CHAMPS on Google. I always do my research and read reviews first, so I had confidence in going along with CHAMPS as I did not read a single bad review. Annette Du Bois is a fantastic coach and has really helped my 14 year old daughter with her confidence, self-esteem and self-belief. Since the Covid lockdowns, my daughter
( who is naturally a shy, quiet girl) has had challenging friendship issues at high school, and did not know how to face them or deal with them. This got to the stage where she hated going to school and was asking me if she could do homeschooling. I got to a stage where nothing I said could make her feel better. I hated seeing her so sad and was desperate to do anything to help her. I can definitely say that finding Annette has been like a godsend. Her approach and style of coaching is very relaxing, empathetic and encouraging. My daughter trusted Annette and looked forward to her coaching sessions. She has definitely grown in confidence and is now better equipped with different strategies on dealing with friendship issues, and making new friends. She has also become more resilient and is happier in herself.

I would definitely recommend CHAMPS.

Amazing

Annette has been an amazing help in building my daughter’s confidence and resilience. Now we’ve come to the end of the sessions- I feel it has given me the tools to continue to support my daughter in the best possible way. Annette’s warm, empathic personality instantly puts you at ease. I have already recommended her to friends and family.

An anxious and unconfident teen.

An anxious and unconfident teen.
My daughter was having terrible anxiety/confidence and self worth issues. In 5 sessions Annette has helped change my daughter’s thought process so her outlook is more logically and rationally thought out, leading to a far more positive young lady. The change is very noticeable and welcome!
Annette is very gentle and calm and read the reactions of my daughter exceptionally well.
Annette also keeps the parents updated thoroughly and is open to extra information or worries they might crop up over the course.
Overall, I’m so pleased with the changes in my daughter, which is a huge relief all round. The tools Annette gives, fill me with confidence, that my daughter will continue to refer back to them if and when she needs once the course finishes. One more session to go!
I highly recommend her help.

Many thanks to Annette and CHAMPS

Many thanks to Annette and CHAMPS Academy for her help. My 11 year old daughter is just starting senior school and was struggling with self confidence and forming healthy friendships. Annette quickly gained her trust and helped her improve her self confidence, with easy to learn and apply tools and strategies. Annette is very knowledgeable and a thoroughly lovely person. The end result is that my daughter has transitioned to senior school easily, has bags more confidence and made some great new friends. Thank you so much!

Teenage son with negative outlook

I contacted Champs academy as my son was struggling to put things into perspective. This may sound minor but the effect it was having on his wellbeing was concerning. I talked it through with Anette and following her input his ability to reframe and deal with situations has improved dramatically. As a father I want my children to have the best start and their attitude and approach to life will have a big impact on everything they do from school to personal relationships. The sessions with Annette have been worthwhile and I would recommend anybody struggling to guide their children their teenage years considers the program.

Amazing change in our son

Annette has been working with our son for 5 months now and the change in him is amazing. 3 months in we went on a family holiday and my husband said afterwards that his highlight had been the change in our son. We had no melt downs, no moods, he was confident in himself to just go off and play mini golf or go on the water slides he didn’t need his brother with him. He was just a happy teenager and it was beautiful to see. I know we still have a way to go with him but to see the change in him gives me so much happiness. Thank you Annette 🙏🏼

Highly Recommend

Annette is excellent and provided my son with all the tools necessary to develop his self-confidence.

I must admit. First, I was a little sceptical about how much CHAMPS Academy claimed to be able to help children with confidence difficulties. However, during the initial taster session, I was pleasantly reassured by Annette as she demonstrated she knew what she was doing, so I didn't hesitate to book 1-1 sessions for my son and I am so glad I did. He made fantastic progress during the sessions and is much more confident.

My son is much happier and has overcome his social anxiety since undertaking coaching sessions with CHAMPS Academy.

School Anxiety

My daughter has always struggled with school anxiety and believing in herself. We tried various methods but were never able to get consistency. We were lucky enough to find Annette who has been amazing, she has enabled her to gain calmness, reassurance and a sense of positivity. She looked forward to her sessions with Annette every week.

Brilliant coach & valuable lessons

My daughters have completed Confidence Coaching with Annette and I have attended Parent Coaching.
We've all learnt so much, it's been great. Annette has helped with general confidence and helped us address personal situations and feel more confident less anxious. It was great to do that as a family. Annette has so much knowledge, she's exudes calmness and peace. She's addressed any issue that cropped up and helped us understand things that would previously have caused us anxiety.
It's so helpful to watch Annette's tips on her YouTube channel also.

Excellent coaching

My 9 year old daughter has benefited greatly from the sessions she has had so far. Our initial session was on 17th Feb and I can already see a huge improvement to my daughters confidence. The strategies and tools that Annette shares/teaches are a godsend,confidence levels, self belief and controlling emotions have all improved. The cool and controlled manner in which Annette engages with my daughter offers me assurance that I have made the right decision is having these coaching sessions. I'm looking forward to the continued improvements.

Fantastic sessions

Our 9 year old son really benefited from his sessions with Annette. The sessions really helped him to process the difficult time he was going through, and helped him to see things clearly. Annette helped him with coping strategies which seemed to work. He really looked forward to his sessions with Annette.

Coaching

My daughter was very anxious about her coaching session, but Annette’s manner was perfect. After the first session she looked forward to each session. We have seen a huge difference in her confidence levels and her ability to build relationships with others and tackle difficult situations. Not only did we notice a change, but so did her teachers at school, commenting on the dramatic positive changes they noticed in her. Thank you, Annette. Looking forward to further sessions.

Champs-academy is fantastic

Champs-academy is a really positive way of providing your child with the coaching they need to help them overcome many anxieties and fears. Annette is very understanding and my child felt really at ease speaking with her and actually looked forward to their sessions. I would happily recommend Champs-academy 1:1 emotional resilience coaching.

Low self-confidence and anxiety

Our 16 year old daughter Millie did the self-confidence six week coaching programme with Annette - she was struggling with her confidence and feeling very anxious because of her GCSE exams that resulted in her being sick a lot on the run up to her exams and not sleeping very well. The sessions with Annette have really helped Millie to put different techniques into practice to overcome her anxiety and to help to increase her self-confidence.

We chose Annette as she had so much…

We chose Annette as she had so much experience working with children and teenagers who had similar issues to the ones ours was suffering and we were not disappointed!
Annette took the time to get to know us and our teenager, with a fact find sheet we listed all the areas of concern we had and she went about developing a programme to help coach them through and build a 'toolkit' to be able to deal with issues now and that would arise in the future.
What we have now is a very confident and much more levelled teenager who has very little of the issues they previously had.
Thank you Annette for all your help and coaching.
