Life Coaching for Universities

Helping University Students Build Confidence, Resilience and a True Sense of Belonging

Supporting Students to Thrive at University

University can be exciting, but it comes with pressure, uncertainty and change.

For many students, especially those from Global Majority backgrounds, it can be challenging to feel seen, supported and fully part of university life.

At Flourished Minds, we provide one-to-one coaching, group workshops, and mentoring programmes that support students' personal development, well-being and academic success.

We work alongside university departments to improve confidence, reduce stress, and help students feel they belong.

Addressing the Retention and Awarding Gap

We understand the importance of tackling the structural and emotional barriers affecting Global Majority students.

Our coaching is designed to:

Improve student confidence and self-worth
Help with stress, anxiety and overwhelm
Strengthen time management and goal-setting
Increase resilience and self-belief
Improve a sense of belonging within the university
Support academic achievement and personal growth

Whether a student feels lost, overwhelmed, or needs someone to talk to - we’re here to help.

Personalised Life Coaching

Our coaching sessions give students a safe and supportive space to:

Reflect on their experiences
Build emotional resilience
Tackle imposter syndrome and self-doubt
Set clear goals and develop strategies to achieve them

Each session is student-led and tailored to their unique needs.

This one-to-one support has been shown to improve confidence, reduce anxiety, and help students take ownership of their university journey.

Mentoring That Makes a Difference

We also offer mentoring support to help build connections and leadership within student communities.

This includes:

Peer-to-peer mentoring programmes
Mentoring training for students and staff

These sessions focus on creating meaningful relationships that help students support each other and build a stronger, more inclusive university culture.

The students are telling me such amazing things and magnificently positive feedback about their coaches and coaching. Of course I knew this would always be the case. It’s just so lovely hearing it. Your coaches are just awesome.

Professor Damien Page, Vice Chancellor and Professor of Education, Buckinghamshire New University

I have worked with Karen Cruise and Flourished Minds for years and have been consistently impressed by their expertise, passion and professionalism. At the University of Wolverhampton, I arranged for Karen and her colleagues to provide individual coaching to Black and Global Majority colleagues who are seeking career advancement and the feedback has been outstanding: all of the coaches have reported As such, I have no hesitation in recommending Flourished Minds to provide coaching within organisations and will continue to work with Karen and her colleagues in the future.
