About Me
Welcome! I’m Ross Thompson, a Resilience and Mindset Life Coach based in West Sussex. My passion is driven by my desire to empower individuals – whether young people, adults or professionals – to overcome challenges and unlock their full potential.
Through tailored coaching and targeted interventions, I help my clients build the resilience and mindset necessary to navigate life's complexities and achieve their goals.
My Professional Journey: Safeguarding & Coaching
My career started in the education sector, where I worked extensively with some of the most vulnerable and at-risk young people across the UK. As well as a Life Coach, I am the Strategic Safeguarding Manager in a Pupil Referral Unit, and I have the privilege of guiding young individuals through some of their toughest challenges on a daily basis.
In addition to safeguarding and child protection, my role as the Strategic Safeguarding Manager also involves managing a team of Outreach Mentors, ensuring all students receive one-to-one targeted mentoring support. I also deliver bespoke training to staff.
My experience spans across primary, secondary and Post-16 education, where I’ve seen first hand how early support can make a world of difference. These roles have shaped my understanding of the unique barriers that both young people and adults face, inspiring me to extend my support beyond the educational setting and into life coaching.
This Is A Personal Mission: Why I Became A Life Coach
Setting up as a Life Coach was a natural progression in my career and a deeply personal mission. I have witnessed too many young people (and their families) struggling without the support, encouragement and challenge they need to overcome their barriers. Likewise, I’ve seen adults and professionals become stuck in self-limiting beliefs, unable to reach their potential due to a lack of inspiration, guidance and confidence.
My coaching approach is grounded in resilience and mindset development because I believe these are the foundations of success. Whether you're dealing with career challenges, personal struggles or just feeling lost, I’m here to help you navigate through with strength and confidence.
What I Offer: Tailored Coaching For Lasting Change
With over 15 years of experience working directly with young people, parents and professionals, I offer targeted coaching and interventions that are as unique as the individuals I work with. The majority of my sessions are available online, ensuring I am able to reach you regardless of where in the world you are. For those closer to home, I am able to offer face-to-face support subject to availability.
My coaching is tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re a young person grappling with the pressures of adolescence, an adult facing life’s many hurdles or a professional seeking to break through career barriers. I focus on helping you build resilience, shift your mindset and develop strategies that lead to lasting change.
Qualifications And Expertise: The Foundations Of My Practice
My coaching practice is built on a solid foundation of training, qualifications, experience and expertise. I’m qualified in Safeguarding & Child Protection, Mentoring, Counselling Skills and CEOP Education (Child Exploitation & Online Protection).
I’m also trained in Mental Health First Aid, Specialist Support for Teaching & Learning in Schools, Speech & Language and Team Leading. My comprehensive background equips me to address a wide range of challenges, ensuring that my coaching is informed, relevant and effective.
