Training and consultancy for organizations:
What do young people in care need?
They need people who have the skills to understand their trauma history, relationships, vulnerabilities and strengths, they also need people who will listen and advocate for them, helping them to become more capable individuals now and in the future.
For workers to provide this type of service to young people, they require training, coaching, and a supervision process that attends to their personal and professional development.
Wings for Success Coaching and Consultancy provides training packages based on your organizational needs using theories, practices, and evidence based tools from residential child care, social work, psychology and sociology.
Whether you require training for individuals or groups, Wings for Success Coaching and Consultancy can help you develop staff who are not just competent, but consistently work to excel in every area of their practice.

Cate stands out as a professional. She is not only specialised in direct work with children and young people, she has also managed to combine this experience with investigations that have supported the design of public policy for children and young people in need of specialised protection.

Cate's insightful approach helped to build on my confidence enabling me to identify and achieve my goals. I had previously found this to be too overwheming to achieve alone. Cate enhanced my ability to think positively, to notice my everyday achievements and acknowledge my strengths and successes.
I would highly recommend Cate as a coach!
