About Coaching:
Youth Empowerment Coaching & Identity Coaching
​Into the Woods Coaching and youth coach Mallory Woods specialize in two forms of empowerment coaching:  Youth Empowerment Coaching and Youth Identity Coaching.
Both  are available for youth ages 8-16.

Both forms of coaching focus on empowering the individual in their life and body, however, Youth Identity Coaching provides additional support focused on exploring, understanding and empowering ideas of gender, sexuality, and identity. 
Here is a comprehensive break down of each type of coaching model:

Youth Empowerment Coaching

What is Youth Empowerment Coaching?

   Youth Empowerment Coaching is available for ages 8-16 and is a form of Life Coaching dedicated to those challenging years of growth, self-exploration, and learning that forms so much of our young adult lives.

​   Youth Empowerment Coaching is tailored to a still-developing state of mind, and lends grace to a seemingly impossible time of change.

Youth Identity Coaching

What is Youth Identity Coaching?

Youth Identity Coaching operates from the same model of life coaching as Youth Empowerment Coaching and has very similar goals: well-rounded empowerment for the individual.

However, Youth Identity Coaching also works to bring empowerment with a focus on addressing blockages related to gender, sexuality and/or identity.

​In addition, Identity Coaching works to solidify confidence in one's sense of self, gender expression, and self-defined orientation and identification.
​
Youth Identity Coaching can also work to provide LGBTQ2S and Queer education (if desired), help establish a community or support network, heal potential feelings of rejection or abandonment, and help cultivate a world that feels safe, loving and accepting for each individual.

Coaching vs. Therapy

Coaching

  • Coachee.
  • The coach helps the coachee access their own wisdom.
  • The coachee is looking to build or rebuild their life and self, perhaps after crisis.
  • Focused on current events and works from the present.
  • The coach holds space for and guides the client’s own healing, growth, and resourcefulness​​.

Therapy

  • Client.
  • ​The Therapist gives advice to the client.
  • ​The client is in immediate crisis or working through crisis.
​
  • Reaches into the past to unhinge trauma.​​
  • The therapist is consulted and suggests courses of action best suited to the client.​
​Unlike therapy or counselling, where tools, advice and mentorship is given, coaching operates with the understanding that you, the coachee, know what you need more than the coach does.

​This way, the coach acts as a support and guide as you discern what you need. Therefore, the coach also operates as a co-creator, as we both work together to find and develop personalized solutions based on the needs of the coachee, while holding the same safe, confidential and connection based container that more traditional models of support offer.

What Happens During a Session?

Each coaching dynamic will begin by co-creating a personalized coaching model. This means that sessions will look different for each person. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long, and loosely flow through these stages:​
Note: Before a session begins, a Pre-session Check-in form must be completed.
​
  • Review of the last week and our work together and apart.
  • Reflection, discussion and, perhaps, re-framing of your chosen topic.
  • The co-creation of strategies, tools, and solutions.
  • Time to shift and decompresses.
  • Setting goals or challenges for next week or time away*.
  • Creating accountability and arranging the next session.​


*Online booking of sessions and arrangement of session times and dates, as well as any assessments, happen in-between sessions.
At times, the coachee may be asked to consider practicing and implementing some strategies or tools as "homework". When this occurs, the youth will also have to opportunity to "assign homework" to me, Mallory Woods, as well. After all, that only seems fair! 

What Do We Do Together?

Coaching helps bring awareness to patterns, beliefs, and points of growth in life, as well as what the Coachee is needing at this time. Together, we work to create a deeper understanding of these traits and work on transforming them into healing, empowerment, and the building blocks of the life the youth wants to be living.

This way, we gently work through what is no longer serving the Coachee, uncovering the strength, creativity and tenacity that is at the centre of each being.
​
In short, through coaching we shift current challenges; reworking, rewriting and renouncing what is no longer needed and replacing it with tools designed to empower the individual.
​The Coaching Model
My coaching is heavily influenced by the CTI model, my mentorship with Foundational Life Coach Ross Tayler, and my studies in trauma, gender, and more. My practice is the combination of both my training and my experiences, shaped by years of self-healing.

My support stems from my indisputable belief that you have the capability of living your perfect life  and that empowerment through adolescents is a necessity, not an idealistic dream.

Results and Effective, Lasting Change

Mallory Woods is dedicated to create observable, positive change for each and every Coachee. To best ensure this, the Coachee Assessment is a means to accurately measure this change, and is worked into both Youth Empowerment and Youth Identity coaching models by way of optional (but encouraged), confidential assessments periodically and/or at end of every month.
​
Assessment forms are available for both the Coachees and the financial supports (the youth and the person financially supporting the youth) and work to allow the Coachee, the financial support, and Mallory to reflect on the progress the youth has made, and what changes the coaching has supported.  
​
An outtake form, for when the coaching process been completed, allows parties to compare past review answers as they have changed over time, showing the empowering, real world changes that coaching supports and creates.
