ACTIVELY COACHING CONFIDENCE
FOR ADULTS & TEENS
CORE Founder & Coach
GEMMA COUSINS


Hello
I am an AC Coach (Associate Certified Coach) from the ICF (International Coaching Federation) and specialise in self-confidence. I have helped many clients achieve personal and career goals and develop their own sense of comfortable confidence.
I am an approachable, adaptable and often practical coach, delivering transformative results creatively and intuitively. Sometimes draw on my previous actor training in my coaching and, where helpful, integrate tools from breathwork, somatic practice and character analysis: all optional, but powerful in supporting deeper confidence work.


My mission is to harness, ignite and elevate an individual's self-confidence, so that they have the best opportunity to reach their potential.
Gemma
At Core Coaching, I specialise in helping people (13+) develop comfortable confidence - a grounded, authentic sense of self rooted in worth, not performance.
Through personalised coaching and creative, interactive workshops, I support you to show up as the most confident version of you.
Whether you’re navigating life’s demands, finding your voice or reconnecting with your confidence, this work is about giving you the tools to feel steady, sure and centred in who you are.
Coaching matters at every stage of life and that's why I offer coaching for teens and adults alike. My process is rooted in a person-centred approach that uses curious, open questioning to help you uncover what’s already within you. You’re always in the driver’s seat, setting the pace and direction. While the core of the work is the same, the way it’s applied can look different for adults and teens.
You can find out more about each below.

TEEN COACHING

Manage stress, pressure and school-related anxiety

Improve focus and motivation for studies and other activities

Develop resilience and coping strategies for challenging situations.
Teen Coaching Discovery Calls are 45-minutes and offer parents and the child the opportunity to find out more about coaching and to see whether it is the right next-step for your child.
BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL
A discovery call is a chance for us to meet online, talk through what's going on right now and see if coaching feels like the right fir. These calls are free and relaxed - there's no pressure to decide on the spot.
For adults, the call lasts 30 minutes.
For teen coaching, the discovery session is 45 minutes and both the parent(s) and young person are invited. The time can be divided however you choose, though I do ask for at least 15 minutes one-to-one with the coachee to make sure they feel comfortable and heard.
