Does any of this sound familiar?
You know your child. And something has shifted.
They say they're fine, but you can see they're not
They've become quieter, more emotional, or withdrawn
School mornings feel harder than they used to
They've lost confidence in themselves
They no longer enjoy things they used to love
They seem less like themselves
Your child may not be being difficult, dramatic, or over-sensitive. They may be protecting themselves, quietly, on the inside, after bullying, rejection, or friendship hurt. When a child still feels unsafe, confidence can't simply be switched back on. They need to feel settled first.
That's exactly what this support is designed to do.
Who this is coming from
Qualified, experienced, and here to help, not to add to the noise.
Resilience coach with lived experience of bullying
Supports children with bullying, worry, overthinking, friendship issues, and loss of confidence
Warm, credible, grounded tone
Child-sensitive, calm, and non-pressured approach
My background
Adam Gross is a resilience coach who works with children affected by bullying, friendship hurt, and the quiet loss of confidence that can follow.
He knows what it feels like to be that child, and he brings that lived understanding into every session.
Adam's background combines counselling training with practical, child-sensitive coaching. His sessions are designed to feel safe, engaging, and genuinely useful, not like something a child has to get through.
He has supported children dealing with bullying, social anxiety, overthinking, friendship difficulties, and the kind of quiet withdrawal that parents often find hardest to reach.
His approach is calm, non-pressured, and built around what actually helps children feel safe enough to open up, and strong enough to move forward.
Results vary. Adam does not make clinical claims or guarantee outcomes but he does show up fully for every child he works with.
The Programme
Calm first. Confidence follows.
Bullying can make a child feel unsafe being themselves. Before confidence can return, they need to feel settled again.
Adam's support works in three gentle phases, helping your child move from overwhelmed and withdrawn, back to calm, confident, and more like themselves.
Phase 1, Calm & Safety Reset
Helping your child feel calmer, safer, and less overwhelmed. This is where everything starts.
Phase 2, Rebuilding Their Spark
Helping your child reconnect with confidence, self-expression, and the parts of themselves they may have hidden away.
Phase 3, Stronger For The Future
Helping your child develop resilience tools for school, friendships, and difficult moments ahead.
Each phase builds naturally on the last, at your child's pace, not a fixed timeline.
Will my child actually want to take part?
That's the most important question, and here's the honest answer.
Most children switch off from support that feels like school or therapy. Adam's sessions are built differently, so children actually want to show up.
The sessions don't feel like a lesson or a worksheet. They use conversation, games, real-life examples, and film references, things children already connect with.
Children are never pushed to talk about things they're not ready for. The pace is led by the child, so they can settle in gently and feel in control.
Most children relax within the first session.
What helps children engage
Conversation, games, and familiar examples
Children connect more easily when support feels natural and familiar.
Film references they already recognise
Familiar stories and characters help ideas land in a child-friendly way.
Never rushed, never pushed
Children are never forced to talk before they're ready.
Led by the child's pace
The session follows your child, helping them feel safe enough to open up in their own time.
When children feel safe and not judged, they open up naturally. That's what these sessions are designed to create.
Why this works when other support hasn't
Most support gives children more to do. This helps them uncover what's already there, calm, confidence, and resilience that bullying has buried, not removed.
The difference is in the starting point
Many approaches try to build confidence directly, but when a child still feels unsafe inside, that rarely sticks.
Adam starts with calm. When a child feels emotionally safer, confidence begins to return on its own. Resilience follows naturally from there.
This isn't about teaching children to be tougher. It's about helping them feel settled enough to be themselves again, and discovering that they already have what they need.
Calm first. Then confidence. Then spark.
This is coaching support, not therapy
It's important to be clear about what this is, and what it isn't.
What makes this different
Adam's support is resilience coaching, not therapy, diagnosis, or crisis mental health treatment.
It is designed for children who have been affected by bullying, friendship hurt, or social difficulty, and who would benefit from a calm, supportive space to rebuild their confidence and sense of self.
It is not designed for children in acute mental health crisis, or those who need clinical or therapeutic intervention.
If you're unsure whether this is the right fit for your child, the free clarity call is the best place to start. Adam will be honest with you about whether this support is appropriate, and if it isn't, he'll do his best to point you in the right direction.
I'm not a therapist , and I want to be upfront about that.
I'm a resilience coach with lived experience of bullying and a background in counselling. I work with children who have been affected by bullying, friendship hurt, or social difficulty, and who need a calm, supportive space to begin feeling like themselves again.
I won't take on a child if I don't think this is the right fit. If the clarity call suggests your child needs clinical or therapeutic support, I'll tell you honestly, and do my best to point you in the right direction.
The clarity call is free, low-pressure, and designed to help you make the right decision for your child, whatever that turns out to be.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Here are the questions most parents ask before booking.
What if my child doesn't want to talk?
That's completely normal, and it's one of the most common things parents say before we start. Adam's sessions aren't built around talking in the traditional sense. They use games, examples, and gentle conversation so children can engage without feeling put on the spot. Most children who were reluctant at the start end up looking forward to their sessions.
Is this therapy?
No. This is resilience coaching, not therapy, diagnosis, or clinical mental health treatment. It's designed for children who have been affected by bullying or friendship hurt and would benefit from a calm, supportive space to rebuild their confidence. If your child needs clinical support, Adam will be honest about that on the clarity call.
What age is this for?
The programme is designed especially for children aged around 8–11. Flexible support is available up to 14 where the approach is a good fit. If you're unsure whether your child's age or situation is right, the clarity call is the best place to find out.
How do online sessions work?
Sessions take place via Google Meet, a simple video call your child can join from home. No travel, no waiting rooms, no disruption to the school day. Most children settle into the online format very quickly.
How involved are parents?
Parents receive guidance throughout the programme so you know how to support your child between sessions. You won't be in the sessions themselves, children tend to open up more when it's just them and Adam, but you'll always know what's happening and how your child is progressing.
What happens on the free clarity call?
It's a calm 20-minute conversation between you and Adam. You'll talk through what's been happening with your child, ask any questions, and get an honest sense of whether this support is the right fit. There's no pressure to commit. Many parents find the call helpful in itself.
