Certified Worth-it Coaches are specialist adolescent wellbeing coaches. They support young people aged 11 to 25 who are struggling but below the threshold for clinical services, such as those with falling attendance, low mood, anxiety, disengagement or difficult transitions, to build the skills and resilience that stop problems escalating.
Adolescent wellbeing coaching integrates positive psychology and coaching psychology, and is grounded in published research by our founder, Liz Robson. It has been developed over 15 years of coaching more than 5,000 young people, many facing disadvantage, in schools, colleges, youth organisations and private practice.
Certified Adolescent Wellbeing Coaches are accredited by the Association for Coaching at Foundation Coach level, supervised, and work to the AC Global Code of Ethics. Their work fits the DfE's targeted mental wellbeing support and Inclusion bases guidance and Ofsted's 2026 inspection framework, giving schools and colleges confidence in the targeted support they offer.
Gain recognised accreditation. Work towards Foundation Coach accreditation with the Association for Coaching through our approved accelerated route, with online accreditation workshops guiding you through every requirement.
Receive expert supervision. Join up to 6 two-hour group supervision sessions a year, led by Liz Robson, a Master's-qualified positive psychology coach and Chartered Fellow of the ACCPH.
Grow your specialist knowledge. Access an on-demand library of more than 30 hours of CPD from psychologists and experts in mental health, inclusion, SEND, trauma-informed practice and education.
Deliver proven interventions. Use tested one-to-one and group coaching programmes, with resources for young people aged 11 to 25, so you can offer structured, targeted support from day one.
Show your impact. Learn to measure outcomes such as wellbeing, belonging and attendance, giving schools, colleges and commissioners the evidence they need.
Build your coaching practice. Get monthly mentoring and business development training, whether you're setting up an in-house coaching offer or an independent practice.
