Step Ahead Coaching supports individuals, families, schools and businesses to build resilience and positive wellbeing strategies
Building resilience where it matters most
Step Ahead Coaching supports young people, families, and schools to build the skills needed to navigate pressure, change, and uncertainty with confidence.
WHAT I DO
I partner with you BEFORE life throws you a curved ball...
So that you can face challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
Step Ahead Coaching exists to empower individuals, teams and organisations through resilience building. Whether you are a student faced with upcoming exams or university transition or an organisation who wants to invest in your people and teams, please contact me to see how I can support you.
Individual Assessment and Coaching
I empower young people and adults through resilience building programmes. This is a proactive strategy to prepare individuals for moments of pressure, uncertainty and change in the future, for example students transitioning from school to university.
Empowering Teams
Unpacking and assessing resilience in teams leads to dynamic discussion, effective goal setting and greater ownership of individual and organisational objectives.
Information Workshops & Professional Development
In-person and online workshops are offered. They are tailored to clients’ requirements and will usually be focused on well-being and resilience.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is resilience
Resilience is the ability to adapt, recover, and keep functioning well during stress, change, or challenge and to grow from those experiences over time.
How is resilience measured using the PR6 Framework?
The PR6 Framework measures resilience across six evidence-based domains that influence how people respond to pressure, sustain wellbeing, and perform effectively. It provides a clear, structured snapshot of current resilience strengths and vulnerabilities.
Why is it useful to measure resilience?
Measuring resilience helps identify what is supporting you and what may be holding you back. It creates self-awareness, guides targeted development, and provides a baseline to track progress over time.
Can resilience levels change?
Yes. Resilience is not fixed. It can increase or decrease depending on life circumstances, stress levels, and intentional development. With insight and the right strategies, resilience can be strengthened.
Is coaching the same as counselling or therapy?
No. Coaching is future-focused and goal-oriented, supporting growth, performance, and development. Counselling or therapy typically focuses on healing past experiences, mental health concerns, or emotional distress.
Is coaching the same as mentoring?
No. Mentoring involves advice and guidance based on the mentor’s experience. Coaching focuses on asking powerful questions that help clients find their own insights, solutions, and actions.
Can I take the PR6 as a standalone assessment?
Yes. The PR6 can be taken as a standalone assessment to provide valuable insight into your resilience profile. Many clients choose to combine it with coaching to maximise understanding and practical application.
