Empowering Teens to Thrive
At Confidence Coaching Brigid is passionate about helping teenagers build confidence, resilience and life skills that they need to navigate adolescence - and thrive. With over 30 years experience working with children of all ages, Brigid's mission is to support teens as they develop a deeper understanding of themselves, to grow in confidence and face life's challenges with clarity and courage.​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Brigid brings energy, empathy and decades of experience to every coaching session. She has a background in teaching (over 10 years in primary and early childhood education across Christchurch and Auckland) and a successful career in business and sales. This has provided her with a unique skill set that blends education, coaching and communication.
​
Her strengths lie in connecting with young people through her fun, down-to-earth style, and creating a space where they feel heard, supported and empowered.
​
Throughout her business career Brigid regularly trained and mentored others - a natural extension of her passion for teaching and growth. Her ability to listen deeply, communicate clearly, and build trust has been key to her success in both education and corporate environments.
​
Brigid continues to study adolescent development and coaching methods to ensure her approach is fresh, relevant and grounded in best practice.
"Brigid is more than a tutor ... she is the champion of making learning fun for children ..."

"I am dedicated to uncovering the potential of children, and I am particularly interested in the topics of child and teenage resilience, emotional management, decision making and navigating friendships. With many resources and tools available, I work with students to identify where they might be stuck, to unlock their unique personalities, and guide them to make improved choices, all in the privacy of 1:1 coaching. I am MMTIC trained (this is the child/teen version of Myers-Briggs personality profiling), which I find immensely useful to uncover natural talents and strengths and to enhance each child's self-awareness."
