Testimonials
"I was looking for ages for someone to help me with my 13 year old Son and I was beginning to think there was no-one out there. Thank goodness I found Caroline of AD ASTRA Coaching, Mentoring Training. My Son has changed so much over the last 6 months! He is more confident, has made lots of new friends from different schools and is spending less time on the internet. He really struggled with low self esteem and was very introverted. Now he’s showing us all the practical skills he’s been taught like climbing trees and building shelters in the woods. We can’t recommend Caroline highly enough!"

"My daughter really enjoys her sessions with the WOODLAND WARRIORS. She comes home filthy dirty and doesn’t stop smiling all afternoon. A pleasure to see her so happy!"

"My teenage daughter has really enjoyed her sessions with AD ASTRA. Caroline has shown her how to set SMART goals, improve her confidence at school and be more resilient with friendship issues. My daughter is now able to recognise potential problems and has resources and personal strategies to resolve them. I have been so impressed with how she has matured, grown so independent and become happier over a short period of time. Thank you Caroline!"

"The SQUAD has been amazing for my 9 year old Son. We are really busy so any chance he gets to play in the woods is brilliant. His favourite activity is melting marshmallows over the camp fire and sliding down the muddy slopes. Thank you AD ASTRA!"

"Thank you for your help and guidance to get me “interview ready”. I not only performed really well in the 3 hour selection process but I got offered the job! I couldn’t have done it without you pushing me out of my comfort zone and increasing my confidence in public speaking."

"I wholeheartedly recommend Caroline’s coaching for GCSE students. My daughter was really struggling with stress and motivation but Caroline showed her some excellent coping strategies and revision tips. Revision time became less overwhelming and as a result, my daughter passed all her exams and is now enjoying her A Level studies."

“Caroline worked with the Year 9 students on a 3 day business enterprise project. She mentored and advised our students as they designed, financed and marketed their products. She has kindly supported this project for 3 years in a row and guided them through the highs and lows with a professional, calm and positive manner, appreciated by all who met or worked with her. Her advice was always balanced between challenge and support which was valued by me, as the teacher coordinator, in particular. Caroline's nurturing of our student's skills, as well as supporting them towards a growth mindset, was integral to the success of the project.”

"The support Caroline provides is impeccable; she is calm, attentive and passionate about helping young people who may be experiencing confidence, social interaction, or communication difficulties. Caroline has a wealth of transferable skills from working in the military, both in the UK and overseas. Causeway School is therefore privileged to be able to work with such an enthusiastic lady, in supporting students truly to improve their social, educational and personal interactions; highly recommended."

"A HUGE thank you for attending the Year 7 “Bonding weekend”. It was genuinely so great to see and the kids were buzzing. Thanks for working your magic."

"Having already experienced Caroline's wonderful "Squad" programme for both my boys I had absolutely no hesitation in approaching her when my teenager was struggling to settle down to study for his exams. Over a short amount of time she got him to set his own goals and expectations and provided me with feedback so I could continue this work with him at home. She also worked on his confidence for interview skills and managed to turn my mumbling teen into a confident young man. He passed his school entrance exams and obtained a scholarship! Couldn't recommend AD ASTRA highly enough."
