I attended the 4week Social Confidence course. My daughter can struggle with anything ‘new’ but by week 2 she skipped in ready to take part. I attribute this to Chantal's calm and kind manner with everyone in the group which put my daughter totally at ease.

The course content was pitched just right, giving the young people some useful tools to manage common friendship situations and self confidence techniques. The course was accompanied by useful handouts so that the adults can continue to support the young person at home and practice what was covered in group.

We’re a week on since the end of the course and I’ve noticed a big improvement in her anxiety and she seems to be managing at school much better.

I cannot thank Chantal enough for her time with my son. Her input has made his transition to secondary school that much easier and he has dealt with situations with confidence and maturity that I wouldn’t have said was possible!

I would bot hesitate in recommending Chantal to anyone.

My son and I attended the social confidence course with Chantal. What a fantastic, well paced course, ran by someone who is clearly very passionate about helping children and engages with them on a level they understand. The tools she has taught us both have already made such a huge difference. Truly amazing!

My daughter has just completed the Emotional Resilience course with Chantal Dawson. Cannot praise this lady and CHAMPS enough, the course was well paced for the children in group and Chantel gave us parents great tips and ideas to help the children further at home and school. I’m so pleased my daughter attended this course and would recommend to anyone who thinks their child would benefit.

Totally love Champs Academy & Chantal Dawson great delivery, learning & life styling coach teaching my child emotional resilience the easy way I can not recommend these people enough top job. Everything we have both learnt from a parent & child's perspective will be used in everyday life from now on moving forward now we have been given the tools 👌

My children benefited greatly from Anita's CHAMPS Emotional Resilience 4 week course & so have I as a parent. We came away with a lot of ideas on how to improve their confidence & emotions. Thank you Anita.

I attended this course led by Chantal with my Daughter. Having taken part in previous courses I felt this one would be a good foundation for my daughter starting year 2.
As always my daughter enjoyed the course a lot. Her confidence takes a real boost from taking part which gives her the tools and encouragement to take those skills to school. We took away some really useful tips and tools to try at home as a family.
The level of the course is pitched perfectly for this age group. We will continue to attend these courses and I look forward to bringing my son when he reaches an appropriate age.

The weekly coaching skills have given my daughter the strength and resilience to cope with difficult situations as she becomes a teenager and to have a more positive outlook. The sessions have really boosted her confidence.

Marie Jones from Champs Academy was brilliant. My son was struggling with confidence and anxiety and Marie gave him invaluable help and advice. He has become a much more confident young man as a result!

My son struggled with making friends throughout his primary school. By the end of year 6 I was really worried about his confidence as he would ask himself ‘why other children don’t like him’. I then decided I needed someone else to speak to him in order to boost his confidence and believe in himself. I found CHAMPS academy on the internet and Anita was just brilliant. She organised weekly coaching sessions which
focused on how to dealing with different emotions and building self believe. As a parent I have learned a lot and seen my child’s confidence build after each session. I am very pleased to see my son have the confidence to approach other children introduce himself, making friend and believing in Himself. Thank you!!

I couldn’t thank Chantal champs academy enough
My daughter always wanted to do a club outside school
But her anxiety stopped her last month my daughter
Decide she wanted to start cheerleading so I signed
Her up thinking she won’t go but I was wrong she said
She felt sick and was scared before going in but she used
The strategies that Chantal had taught her and she
Went in with no tears and now been going for the last month
With out her going to champs academy sessions she would
Of never achieved it thank you so much Chantal

A big thank you to Chantal for the back to school confidence session.

My son appears confident on the outside, however he is actually very self conscious.

He left the session telling me how he didn't realise how confident he actually felt about starting back to school as he felt nervous before.

He said he is ready to start year 6 at a 10!

My other son has Aspergers and liked the breathing techniques, which I think will help with his self regulation.

Our son had 4 1:1 coaching sessions with Chantal to try and give him strategies to help him to deal more effectively with his anxieties. Chantal was absolutely brilliant with him. He really enjoyed the sessions and has been able to draw upon the strategies that he was shown when dealing with new situations. We have just returned from holiday (which previously our son would have found stressful) and it was a totally different experience this year. He was so much calmer and able to deal more positively with new scenarios. We would highly recommend Chantal.

David has been so supportive for our teenage son, lots of strategies and tools to utilise when he is struggling with bullies.Tricks to help build up resilience, David was empathic, calm and so helpful.Thanks again, Naomi

Marie is amazing!
Sometimes it takes another persons perspective and approach, other than a parents, for a child to listen. Marie did this and more! Definitely a valuable and worthwhile course that developed strategies my child has benefited from immensely. So much so, her end of year report highlighted these recognised changes.

Great course. Really helped my son manage his mindset and emotions in sport. Highly recommend

My little boy got so much out of sessions with Marie. She has helped him no end with managing his emotions and friendships.

Marie at Champs Academy was fantastic! She has given my son the tools he needs to become a confident, happy boy. She has given him confidence to believe in himself, to try harder, not fear failure and to focus on what is important to him. He is now happy to try new things and has a better attitude at home. I knew what my son needed and had tried to guide him and encourage him but because I am his mum he just didn’t listen. Having Marie explain things at his level and focus on what was holding him back was invaluable. I would recommend Champs to everyone! Absolutely brilliant!

I was not too sure what to expect but wanted to help my son overcome his issues round year 2 sats, spelling, home work and his lack of self belief. Anita was an excellent teacher. The class was small interactive and well paced. I also learned a lot and its inspired me.

We weren’t sure how to proceed with our rather shy son; we found he was particularly uncomfortable in social situations. We did think about a counsellor but were so glad to have found CHAMPS!
Anita has been superb- we even noticed a positive change in our son after the first session. With her cheery, calm and resolute manner Anita was able to equip our ten year old with techniques to change his thinking and actions. The “cheerleader technique” is a particular favourite and is excellent!!
I would thoroughly recommend Anita and CHAMPS as a whole.
