Life Strengths Academy

Hello and welcome,

All young people deserve a good start in life. Unfortunately not all receive this. Confused and lacking guidance they can relate to, many struggle through life, with the results evident in schools and neighbourhoods around us. The cycle is then continued as they grow up and become parents themselves. At Life Strengths Academy we want to change this.

Our work takes a 'bottom up - inside, out' approach. It is designed and shaped by young people for young people, to help them grow stronger mentally, emotionally, academically and practically blending an irresistible mix of accelerated learning techniques, peak performance psychology, traditional teaching methods, sprinklings of tasty appetisers, such as photography and other creative endeavours and our special 'magic formula' - the input of young people themselves!

We believe every young person will benefit from Life Skill Sessions, however schools have found it particularly beneficial for children and young people experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) and/or special educational needs (SEN) across Key Stages 2-4 and post school age.

We apply unique strategies for each solution and sessions have been designed to improve and overcome a range of issues including low self esteem and confidence, de-motivation, reluctance to learn, poor attention, anger and disruptive behaviour issues, exclusion/at risk of exclusion, Aspergers syndrome, dyslexia, dyspraxia, bullying, self harm, loss and others.

We also undertake trainings for adults who interact with young people including teachers, social workers, foster carers and parents.

Our Life Skills sessions have been used in schools, local authorities, care homes and young peoples projects in the Lewisham, Southwark, Croydon, Brent and Camden areas of London.

Please feel free to call us now for further information on 0208-621 9924, or email us on info@LifeStrengthsAcademy.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Overcoming learning phobias
"Dear Gayle, thank you for helping me come over my fear of reading and writing. Before everytime I looked at words I felt like I wanted to faint and now I can look at words and I don't want to faint. Can I have more reading work please. Especially wordsearches".
