What is private mentoring with Allison?

It is a structured, age-appropriate one-to-one mentoring option that gives a girl time to reflect, practise a confidence and resilience tool, and shape one realistic next step.

It may suit families looking for dedicated confidence and resilience support alongside, or outside of, the 8-week programme. A parent enquiry helps the team understand the age pathway, session interest, and practical fit.

What happens in a session?

Sessions are 30-minute video calls. They are designed around practical mentoring, such as confidence and resilience tools, boundaries, friendships, or a next-step plan, rather than a detailed analysis of private experiences.

How are parents involved?

Parents begin the enquiry and are given clarity about format, boundaries, availability, and appropriate next actions. Girls are not asked to share private reflections simply to prove progress.

Is private mentoring therapy or crisis care?

No. Private mentoring is not therapy, counselling, diagnosis, or crisis care. If there is an urgent safety, medical, school, or crisis concern, families should contact the appropriate local service straight away.

Can we enquire without sharing private information?

Yes. The parent enquiry asks for only parent contact details and broad choices about age pathway, support focus, and session interest. It does not request a child’s name, story, or private disclosures.

How do availability and booking work?

Availability is confirmed after a parent enquiry. The team reviews the practical fit and capacity, then shares appropriate next steps where a private mentoring option is available.

Can private mentoring be added to the programme?

Yes. The Mentored programme includes the 8-week experience plus three private sessions. Families can also enquire about standalone starter and longer private mentoring formats, subject to availability.

What private mentoring can offer

Personalised support, without losing sight of the bigger village.

A focused space to practise

A dedicated conversation can help her name what matters, practise a confidence tool, and leave with one manageable next step.

Support built around her world

Sessions create room for her own goals, questions, friendships, boundaries, school moments, and everyday wins without comparing her to anyone else.

Parent clarity without surveillance

Parents remain a valued part of the support system. Expectations, boundaries, and the right next step are made clear while her private reflections stay respected.

2The session gives the girl room for age-appropriate conversation and skill practice.

4Parents receive clarity about the process and appropriate next actions without being asked to monitor private reflection.

Why this approach is thoughtful

Research-informed, without overpromising.

Youth mentoring research points to the importance of trusting, sensitive relationships with purposeful goals, while also showing that family involvement and programme structure matter. Private mentoring is therefore positioned as a thoughtful additional support, not a replacement for a family, school, clinical professional, or emergency service.

[1]Trust and shared goals matter

An integrative review of youth mentoring identified support, sensitivity, trust, and purposeful goal-setting as important qualities in stronger mentoring relationships.

Read Goldner and Ben-Eliyahu, 2021

[2]Families remain part of the team

Family-engagement research describes mentoring as added support, not a replacement for parents, and highlights respectful, two-way communication with families.

[3]Quality and safety need structure

MENTOR's effective-practice framework emphasises safe programme spaces, youth voice, thoughtful design, and ongoing review rather than informal or unstructured mentoring.

Good to know

Private mentoring has clear boundaries.

That is part of what helps the experience feel safe and useful for girls and parents alike.

Private mentoring is not therapy, diagnosis, counselling, or crisis support.

If a young person is at immediate risk or needs urgent support, contact local emergency, child-safety, medical, school, or crisis services.

Private mentoring is not a replacement for family, school, clinical, or emergency support. A parent or guardian remains a valued part of the wider support system, with clear boundaries agreed before sessions begin.
