about Meg
I’m Dr. Meg Attwood - a psychology-informed coach with over 15 years’ experience supporting young people’s learning, development and wellbeing.
Having worked alongside young people in education, research and wellbeing settings, I understand the pressures and opportunities that young adulthood presents: expectation, comparison, transition, and the quiet work of figuring out who you are and what comes next.
My coaching offers a structured, thoughtful space for young people to explore their everyday experience, recognise their strengths alongside the patterns that hold them back, and inform habits and decisions that support confident, values-led action.
Training and credentials:
PhD in Psychological Science
MEd in Psychology of Education
Professional qualifications in executive coaching (including ILM Level 7)
Dance, pilates and anatomy training
More than 15 years’ experience working alongside young people in education, research and wellbeing settings
Ongoing engagement with evidence-based psychological frameworks and reflective coaching practice
how I work
Drawing on both psychology and executive coaching, my approach is an integrated one - blending psychological tools with guided inquiry, creative reflection and embodied practice.
I hold a safe space for young people to:
surface and reflect on feelings and experiences
disentangle repetitive thoughts
examine the stories that shape how they think, feel, and act
reframe limiting beliefs
recognise strengths that may have gone unnoticed
build routines and boundaries that support sustainable growth
My role is both supportive and gently challenging - helping young people think clearly, act with integrity, and develop the steadiness and resilience required to live and lead in an increasingly noisy and complex world.
what shapes my work
I’m interested in the stories we tell about ourselves - the meanings we attach to success, failure, ambition and belonging.
I’ve seen how subtly shifting these narratives can open up new ways of thinking, feeling and acting.
I’m equally attentive to what is communicated without words: tension, hesitation, energy, momentum. Often, the body signals what the mind is still processing.
Coaching offers space to listen - to both.
a note on growth
Growth at this stage of life is rarely linear.
It is iterative. Reflective. Sometimes uncomfortable. Always deeply meaningful.
It is a privilege to support young people as they navigate these defining moments.
I look forward to meeting you.
