Go from stuck and second-guessing to focused, confident and moving forward.
Growing up is a big job.
What if you could start showing up as the person you already are, turning overthinking and self-doubt into clarity, confidence and real momentum?
The revision plan is written. The UCAS personal statement is open. The conversation you need to have is overdue. But somehow, you don’t do it. Instead, you scroll, avoid, procrastinate – and then comes the guilt.
The truth is, this isn’t laziness. It’s usually a confidence problem disguised as a motivation problem. When self-belief is low, everything feels harder than it should. That’s where coaching comes in – not to lecture, not to set more rules, but to help you understand what’s actually going on and build their own system for getting unstuck.
Youth Coaching offers adolescents and young adults a supportive, structured space, following young counselling best-practices, to clarify goals, build study and life skills, and make steady progress towards their goals.
What keeps getting sacrificed:
Self-belief as the foundation:
Build real confidence from the inside, not just generic surface-level motivation.
Structure that fits your brain:
Study habits and systems designed around how you actually work.
Future before fear:
Make decisions based on what you want, not what you're trying to avoid.
I can help you overcome the fears and obstacles in your life.
About Me
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, doubted, and unsure if things will ever change.
I arrived in the UK as an immigrant, working days and evenings while struggling to pay my psychotherapy training fees. When my son was diagnosed with autism and excluded from multiple schools, everyone said to I and my wife to lower our expectations; we didn’t.
We believed in him fiercely, and today he has two Master’s degrees from top Universities and currently he’s working with me in our family-run home care business.
That experience is at the heart of how I coach. With over 20 years’ experience in the NHS and private practice, and training from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust and King’s College London, I combine clinical depth with real understanding of what it takes to transform your life.
If you’re ready for someone who’s been through struggle and knows the way forward, I’d be honoured to support you.
As an EMCC-accredited coach, I offer the following coaching packages to adolescents and young adults:
Sabbir is not dogmatic and I think he goes beyond how he was taught to be a therapist. Sabbir and different backgrounds and yet I find it easy to relate to him. Also, I feel he is very supportive of the going and interested in. Sabbir has been incredibly accommodating with me and I’m very grateful to him for that.
Delighted to be working with you Sabbir!

Before starting therapy with Sabbir, I was struggling with time management, low motivation, and constant overthinking. I couldn’t bring myself to do my daily tasks, I felt isolated, and most days I was glued to my bed. Over time, I started spending more time with my loved ones, focusing on the goals we set together, and making more productive use of my time.

Sabbir isn’t your usual therapist who’ll let you sit around and ramble. He would positively challenge my thoughts, allow me to view things from a different perspective, and he continuously guides me to strive to achieve my goals. He provides insightful guidance and effective tools that allow me to handle my difficulties gradually and with confidence.

I understand the emotional patterns underneath your behaviour, not just the surface habits.
Sessions are structured, practical and age-appropriate. No jargon, no lectures.
Whether there's an ADHD or autism diagnosis (or a suspicion), I adapt my approach to fit your brain.
I offer brief check-ins with parents where helpful, while ensuring your trust and privacy remains central.
Every session ends with 1–3 concrete actions. I provide study routines, confidence scripts and decision frameworks.
I offer clinically-informed coaching at rates designed for young people and families.
A simple 3-step process to lasting change
Get to the root
In our first extended session, we explore what’s really going on; the confidence blocks, the patterns, the pressures – so we know exactly what we’re working with.
Create your system
Together, we design practical systems – study routines, communication strategies, decision frameworks – tailored to how their brain works, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Strengthen & sustain
As new habits take hold, we build on what’s working and adjust what isn’t.
Progress becomes your new normal, not a temporary boost.
Personalised coaching for your next chapter in life.
I offer face-to-face coaching in Central London and online sessions for clients across the UK (and internationally). You can choose what best supports your schedule, privacy, and consistency.

I won’t promise miracles. However, many young clients report some of these benefits of youth coaching:

No; it’s coaching informed by psychotherapy skills. If therapy would be more appropriate, I’ll advise on options and we can switch.
Typically 13 to 21. For under‑16s, I’ll agree ground rules and brief parent involvement at the outset.
Yes; many students prefer secure video sessions; in‑person appointments are available in London EC1 and W1.
Only short, targeted actions that fit around school or university schedules.
School counsellors do important work but are often stretched thin. Coaching with me is private, one-to-one, and focused on forward progress, building specific skills and systems rather than only processing what’s gone wrong.
Never. I always offer a brief introductory chat (10–15 minutes, no commitment) so the young person can decide for themselves. Coaching only works when they’re willing. I’m happy to have that initial conversation and take it from there.School counsellors do important work but are often stretched thin.

Absolutely. My own son is autistic, and I’ve worked with neurodivergent young people for over a decade in the NHS. Sessions are adapted to how their brain works; no masking required.
Because I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist as well as a coach, I can recognise when deeper therapeutic work would be more appropriate. If that’s the case, I’ll advise honestly and we can adjust the approach.
