Lois Allon

WHO AM I?

I am Lois, I am passionate about working with women and young people and helping them to navigate through all the challenges that life throws at them.  

I am a qualified and practicing life coach working with teenagers and young adults both neurodivergent and neurotypical, supporting those who are struggling with their mental health and/or those who are finding life challenging and overwhelming. Having worked as a coach in a secondary school I am ready and able to support your teen through any challenges they may be facing. 

I also work with women who have lost their mojo, feel tired and "unsexy". Often when kids have flown the nest, women can feel redundant and struggle to reconnect with themselves and with their partner. I can help with that. Be it you are looking for a new career, new hobbies and goals or a fuller more exciting life - lets get "living"!

Working with me is a partnership. I will hold you accountable for the actions you take and for the decisions and actions you avoid. I will empower you to make practical choices and find solutions towards living a more fulfilling life.

I provide a safe, supportive and judgement free space to talk openly and honestly about how you are feeling, and I help guide you to reach their personal goals.

I am a mum of three incredible children who are now 21, 19 and 17 years old. I have personal experience of understanding the struggles of mental health has on teens and I am a parent of an ADHD child. I am told that I have an amazing ability to build strong relationships with young people and with women. We all have a fire burning, some of us need to reignite those flames. 

WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU / YOUR TEEN

Adolescence is a time for self-discovery, and I can guide them through the process of understanding who they are, what they value and what they want from life.

RESILIENCE

I can help build resilience. Life can be challenging, and I can help to equip your teens with the tools to overcome setbacks and bounce back from disappointment and emerge stronger than ever.

FRIENDSHIP & COMMUNICATION

I can help improve their communication skills and build better more meaningful relationships with their peers, with their family and teachers. Healthy relationships and effective communication are so important to achieve happiness. Loneliness both inside and outside of school can cause isolation and reclusiveness and lead to feelings of sadness and low self esteem.  

MANAGE STRESS & ANXIETY

I can help your teens to develop the tools to manage stress and anxiety and they will learn to be kind to themselves, promoting greater mental and emotional well-being. I can help them navigate challenges whether from exam stress or career choices, and I can support them in making informed decisions about their education and their future.

HELP WITH MOTIVATION & PROCRASTINATION

Working with your teens to understand the root cause of procrastination and avoidance. I can help develop tools and strategies to plan and manage a realistic homework schedule and exam study schedule, always ensuring there is plenty of time for self care and some fun times too. 

BUILD CONFIDENCE

Work with me to develop confidence and boost self-esteem. I will help uncover things they didn’t know about themselves and guide them to work out and deliver on their goals.

NEURODIVERGENCE

My youngest was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety having struggled with both school and friendships for many years. I have my own personal experience parenting a neurodivergent child as well as on a professional level, I work with many teens who have been assessed with ADHD and/or autism. 

LIBIDO

Let's face it, with a busy life, we get tired and with a boring life, we get tired! Us women need and want to feel wanted and sexy but we need to fall in love with ourselves again, to know our own self worth and know what turns us on. These conversations do not need to be embarrassing when in a safe place with no judgement. Tears and laughter are both part of the process.

HOW I WORK

For me, coaching starts with connection. It’s really important that we have good chemistry and that you feel comfortable, safe, listened to and supported. Coaching is a partnership - we work together to understand what you want to change, where you might be feeling stuck and what you would like to achieve.

For teenagers, I usually start with a conversation with a parent to understand their concerns and what they hope their child might gain from coaching. I then have an initial session with the young person themselves. It’s important that they feel they can connect with me and, most importantly, that coaching is something they want to do. They need to feel that the space is theirs and that they can talk openly without judgement.

With young adults and women, our first session is also about getting to know each other, talking about what has brought you to coaching and exploring what you would like to work on. This might be building self-esteem and confidence, improving relationships, making changes in your life or simply understanding yourself and your patterns better.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. We work together at a pace that feels right for you, with the aim of making positive, realistic changes that carry through into everyday life.

Sessions are £80 and can be booked individually, or as a block:

• 6 sessions - £450
• 10 sessions - £700

Sessions work really well over Zoom. I can also offer face-to-face sessions in North London, either in your home or in a therapy room.
