Change asks a lot of a child, even when it is a good change. Ruby supports children moving between international schools, families relocating abroad, children changing schools domestically or mid-year, and any child finding a transition hard. Ruby and your child name what is actually changing, build practical coping tools, and rehearse what is ahead so it feels known rather than unknown.
Who it's for
- Children moving between international schools
- Families relocating abroad
- Children changing schools domestically or mid-year
- Children returning to school after time away
- Any child struggling with a transition of any kind
How Ruby approaches it
- Ruby starts by understanding your child, not the label or the problem
- She builds from what your child is already good at
- Sessions move at your child's pace, with goals Ruby and your child agree together
- Ruby and the family review as sessions progress, so the programme stays useful
What Ruby and your child work towards
Every child is different, but this is the kind of growth Ruby and your child work towards together.
How it works
- 01It starts with a free 15-minute discovery call about what is happening for your child and what you are hoping for.
- 02Ruby builds a programme around your child's goals, strengths and needs. The focus and pace are shaped with your child, not set in advance.
- 03There is no minimum. Programmes continue for as long as they help, with regular reviews along the way.
Frequently asked questions
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. This is educational, psychology-informed coaching. It is not therapy or counselling, and it is not a substitute for clinical support. If Ruby believes a child would benefit from clinical support, she will always say so.
What ages is this suitable for?
Programmes are designed for children and young people aged 7 to 18, with sessions adapted to the child's age, confidence, and context.
I don't know many details about the new school yet, can you still help?
Yes. The programme can help your child build emotional readiness, flexible coping strategies, and confidence even before all practical details are known.
What happens on the discovery call?
The free discovery call is a chance for Ruby to understand what is going on for your child, answer your questions, and decide together whether coaching feels like a good fit.
How many sessions will my child need?
There is no minimum. Programmes continue for as long as your child needs. Some children need a short, focused block, while others benefit from longer support. Ruby and the family review together as sessions progress.
