Welcome
A warm welcome to Potential YDC's online platform.
Potential YDC stands for 'Potential Youth Development Coaching.
My mission is to empower young people with the knowledge and tools to manage their mental health and wellbeing effectively. Through one-to-one sessions, workshops, professional training, and resource development, it is my aim to bridge the gap in mental health education and support within schools, colleges, and communities.
By fostering a whole-body and whole-school approach to wellbeing and resilience, my programme and coaching will focus on addressing the rising mental health challenges faced by young people in the UK.
Our Approach
Inspiring young people towards confidence and contentment through:
Psycho-
Education
Somatic
regulation
Resilience
Training
Our Ethos
It is my strong belief that when young people feel powerless to affect change in the outside world, as well as their own internal worlds we must, at a minimum, provide them with the learnable tools to effectively manage their own internal systems.
It is my aspiration that all young people find the resilience and confidence to beat the odds when they find themselves let down by a system that cannot do more to help them.

OUR STORY
From the darkest days to our brightest future...
Potential Youth Development Coaching was first imagined during the 2020 Global pandemic when it became apparent the extent to how much the effects of social isolation was having on young peoplein the in th eUK and across the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had a multifaceted impact on young people in the UK, affecting mental health, education, and economic prospects. Data from the Office for National Statistics revealed a significant increase in self-reported mental health issues—such as anxiety and depression—among those aged 16-24 during lockdown periods, largely driven by isolation and uncertainty about the future.
Research from mental health charities like Young Minds further highlighted that many young individuals experienced exacerbated pre-existing mental health conditions, with a notable rise in feelings of loneliness and stress. In the educational sphere, prolonged school closures and the abrupt shift to remote learning disrupted academic progress and widened existing inequalities, as evidenced by analyses from the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
These converging factors underscore the pandemic’s role in deepening vulnerabilities among young people, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted psychoeducational interventions to support their recovery and future resilience.
