One to One Mentoring
There are occasions when young people can benefit greatly from spending one to one time with someone who is not their parent or linked to their school life. James Shone is increasingly providing this service to children in the Somerset area who are struggling with their self confidence. Sessions with James provide a safe, warm environment where a straight forward discussion about the following areas can take place:
- Understanding Skills, Strengths & Achievements
- Understanding my Qualities & Setbacks
- What are my Dreams and Goals?
Mentoring services from James Shone are available as a one off or as a series of up to 4 sessions and generally take place at his home near Bath or at the child’s school.  The sessions are funded by the ‘I Can & I Am’ charity and are provided free of charge.
Please contact us if you’d like to discuss booking James from some one to one mentoring.
