About Me
Too many young people feel overwhelmed when making life-shaping decisions about school, careers and their future - and too many parents feel unequipped to support them. That’s where I come in. I’m a Registered Career Development Professional and Founder of A.C.E. Guidance Services, supporting students and parents through some of the most important transitions in education: • GCSE options • Post-16 pathways • Post-18 decisions and beyond. My focus is simple: 👉 Reduce stress 👉 Build confidence 👉 Help young people make informed, realistic and ambitious choices. I’ve worked with students at all stages, providing personalised guidance that connects education with real-world opportunities. Author of: Guiding Your Teen Towards Post-16 – A Practical, Stress-Reducing Guide for Overwhelmed Parents (2025) At the heart of my work is a simple philosophy: “Dream big, but pack a parachute.” Encouraging ambition while making sure there’s a clear, practical plan to support it. Because success isn’t just about having big goals - it’s about knowing how to achieve them and what to do if plans change. 🌐 www.aceguidanceservices.co.uk 📩 Open to working with schools, parents, and organisations 📱 Instagram: @guiding_your_teenMethod of delivery
