    Life Coaching & Mentoring for Preteens, Teens and Young Adults

    At some point in life, the various hurdles, challenges, highs and lows encourage you to reassess the path you are on. Priorities change. Experiences influence decisions. Even more so for your Teens and Young Adults.

     

     

    Life choices and decisions can be overwhelming for a young mind. However, there is no age profile for taking back control of your own life and directing the direction you wish to go in. Often the difficulty is in knowing what that direction is. Direct Your Direction was born out of my own personal journey, education and experience combined with a will to hear you, your journey, your experiences and help you move forward.

     

     

    Having worked in Education and Music for over 25 years, I realised that the joy of my teaching career was not just the subject but the interactions with young people themselves. They inspired me. I wanted to continue helping young adults find their path in life. I built on that wealth of experience to become both a Certified and Accredited Personal, Executive and Leadership Coach and a Mental Health and Wellbeing Coach with Kingstown College Dublin and EMCC.

  • What People Say

    I really did enjoy my experience with Áine. Everyday posed a new outlook on not only career prospects/further education, but, on how I view myself. As a recent college graduate with limited experience I didn’t know what to expect when contacting Áine. However, I found myself becoming increasingly motivated and confident on every step we took throughout our time together. We primarily refined my communication and interpersonal skills and things are only going upward since we last met. I have been offered a fantastic job and enrolled in a part-time postgrad course during the short amount of time since we last met. Áine’s patience, energy and experience really did contribute to my current well-being and happiness. I couldn’t thank Áine enough, she really opened my eyes to the many options the world has to offer and gave me the motivation to take the leap. Without question it is definitely worth your time and I couldn’t recommend her services enough ! She is amazing and what she does.

    After finding myself recently unemployed I struggled with confidence and I found it difficult to decide what path to take. I decided to turn to professional help and this is where I met Áine.

    Áine really helped me get clarity on where I needed to focus. She was inspirational and encouraging. We worked on a plan and this motivated me to move forward. I gained confidence every session I had with Áine. I am now thankfully back working. Áine helped me every step of the way. Thanks Áine.

    Áine worked with me during a transitional period of my life. She helped me to focus on meeting both personal and professional goals. I found the experience very thought provoking and inspiring. The process of working with Áine helped me devise a plan and work towards my desired outcomes. Áine is very professional in her approach. I felt comfortable and at ease with her and she felt like a supportive and trusted friend.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Áine for career guidance. She’s incredibly talented at what she does and has played a pivotal role in helping me choose the career path I wanted to pursue. Her exceptional qualities include unwavering dedication, deep empathy, and an uncanny ability to provide insightful guidance. If you’re looking for someone who can truly make a difference in your career journey, Áine is the person to turn to. I can’t speak highly enough of her expertise and the positive impact she can have on your life. Thank you Áine

  • Why should you work with me?

    Because I am an empathetic, supportive, EMCC Certified Personal Executive and Leadership Coach, located in Tramore Co. Waterford, with over 25 years of performing and teaching Music for and with teens and young adults.

    With this wealth of experience I can help your Teen/Young Adult find their path and purpose in life.

    As a result of my musical background as a Musician and an Educator, I have the unique option of including Music as a tool, where appropriate, to enhance communication with Parents/Carers, confidence, resilience, leadership and life skills. This is not Music Therapy but it is therapeutic Music. And you may even take up a new musical hobby in the future!

    Learning how to effectively communicate with your teenager is an important skill. Click the button below to read a recent article I wrote on this topic that was featured in A Lust For Life – an Irish Mental Health Charity.

    Life coaching and mentoring for preteens, teens, and young adults – guiding young people through personal growth, goal setting, and emotional development.

  • Music as a Coaching Tool

    Music can be very powerful and speaks to people in different ways.

    Áine McCarthy-Kent using music as a coaching tool with a harp, life coaching and mentoring for young people to encourage emotional expression and personal growth.
    Áine uses tin whistle to increase confidence and mindfulness, mentoring for young people to encourage emotional expression and personal growth.

    Many people like songs with meaningful words, others prefer instrumental music with no vocals and others like to play music themselves. Many love all 3!

    Music is a means of communicating but sometimes you need to allow the music to communicate to you. Often the words of a song speak to you and for you, hence where appropriate, I use Music as a tool if I feel it would be beneficial for my Client.

    I do this in a variety of ways:

    • I include inspiring and reflective music in the session to enhance the topic we are discussing. I encourage and assist you in choosing your own playlist to match your own mood.
    • Learning some basic Tin Whistle to increase confidence and mindfulness.
    • Learning some basic Harp skills to increase confidence and mindfulness and simply enjoy!
