1:1 Mentoring
At PMActive we support children and young people to navigate the challenges of growing up and to develop the confidence they need to live happy and healthy lives. It’s important to remember, we’re not councillors or therapists, what we offer is a friendly and compassionate individual with years of personal and professional experience listening to and supporting children and young people with SEND.
How we can help
Our 1:1 Mentoring support services are friendly, compassionate and non-judgemental. Our support services are tailored to the individual and built entirely around their needs.
1:1 Learning Support Assistant:
At PMActive, we offer personalised 1:1 Learning Support Assistant (LSA) services as part of flexible, tailored education and wellbeing packages. Our experienced LSAs provide individualised support in the home or community, helping each learner continue to make meaningful academic and personal progress in a way that suits their pace, interests, and preferred learning style.
What we offer:
-
Individualised Academic Support – Our LSAs can work closely with educational tutors to enhance the learning experience. We help learners grasp key concepts, complete assignments, and build core skills such as literacy and numeracy. This one-to-one support strengthens engagement, builds confidence, and reinforces learning goals.
-
Social and Emotional Development – Through consistent, supportive relationships, our LSAs help build trust, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing. We use positive reinforcement strategies to encourage communication, resilience, and personal growth—supporting young people to feel more confident and better equipped to engage with learning and daily life.
-
Flexible, Responsive Delivery – Support can take place in the home, local community settings, or alongside other services such as sports coaching or travel training. We prioritise consistency, emotional safety, and adapting to each young person’s needs.
-
Outcome-Focused Approach – All support is shaped by individual learning objectives, with clear communication and regular feedback to families, tutors, and professionals.
Big Brother & Big Sister Service:
Sometimes, a young person just needs a consistent, friendly face—someone to talk to, laugh with, or simply spend time alongside. PMActive’s Big Brother & Big Sister Service offers a trusted companion and positive role model for children and young people who may be navigating difficult periods, feeling isolated, or needing additional social and emotional support.
Our approach is user-centred and enjoyment-led, meaning we tailor every interaction to the individual’s interests, preferences, and pace. Whether it’s a relaxed walk in the park, a kickabout on the pitch, or an occasional trip out for something special, we create engaging experiences that help young people feel seen, supported, and connected.
Each session is designed to:
-
Encourage emotional wellbeing through informal, low-pressure connection
-
Promote confidence, trust, and social skills
-
Offer gentle structure and consistency with a familiar, supportive presence
-
Provide safe, meaningful opportunities for young people to engage with their world in a positive way
Our team members are experienced in working with a wide range of young people and take time to build rapport through respect, empathy, and shared activities. Support can be delivered at home, in the community, or as part of a wider personalised package, including education or wellbeing support.
We understand that every young person’s situation is different, which is why we offer flexible, tailored programming that fits their unique needs.
