Growing up is a journey. Sometimes it’s exciting, sometimes it’s overwhelming, however you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Hummingbird Mindsets, we’re here to help young people thrive.


I’m Ayesha, a qualified Child and Adolescent Mental Health Coach and Certified IEMT Practitioner. With over 25 years working in Arts, Secondary Education, Further Education and Social Care; I’ve seen first hand how challenging adolescence and young adulthood can be. The pressures, the transitions, friendship breakdowns, the physical and emotional changes—it can feel like a rollercoaster.

The mission for Hummingbird Mindsets is simple: to create a space where young people feel seen, heard, and understood.


I work alongside families to support their young person navigate worries and challenges with empathy, care, and humour; because life is serious enough, but it doesn’t always have to be heavy.

Teen EmpowerMENT Programme

Teen EmpowerMENT is an eight week programme designed to support young people aged 11-19 who are facing emotional challenges, low self-esteem, stress, and anxiety.


Teen EmpowerMENT integrates innovative, creative and proven techniques to support young people using Mental Health coaching and IEMT.


By first using Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), we first address the root cause of their challenges, exploring unwanted memories, challenging emotions and limiting beliefs. We then use creative coaching activities, to help the young person develop effective strategies, gain self-awareness, boost self-esteem, and set meaningful goals, empowering them to move forward with confidence.


Sessions are 60-minutes long and are delivered online.



Teen EmpowerMENT can help with:

  • Anxiety & stress
  • Bullying
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Exam worries and preparation
  • School college, and university concerns
  • Friendship and relationship issues


  • In the Discovery stage, we will focus on uncovering the root causes of issues, emotions, and self-belief challenges using IEMT.

Together, we will address three key areas: Unwanted memories,

  • Challenging emotions and Limiting beliefs.

EmpowerU Sessions for Young Adults

EmpowerU IEMT Sessions are designed to help individuals aged 20-24
manage troubling thought patterns using Integral Eye Movement
Therapy (IEMT). IEMT is therapeutic approach that helps individuals
process and resolve negative emotions, painful memories, and limiting
beliefs by using guided eye movements. It works on the premise that
specific patterns of movement can help the brain access and reprocess
difficult emotional memories, leading to greater emotional clarity and
balance.


IEMT is also non intrusive and therefore there is no need to discuss or
painful experiences, making it ideal for those who find it difficult to
articulate their feelings or revisit painful memories.


EmpowerU sessions are a series of 4 weekly sessions, each lasting up to
75 minutes online.


EmpowerU can help with:

  • Anxiety
  • Painful and unwanted memories
  • Challenging emotions
  • Stressful life events and limited self beliefs




  • Add a Call-to-Action

The second session targets the
challenging emotions that arise from
past experiences, such as fear, anger,
or sadness.


Using IEMT techniques, we work on
emotional regulation and release,
helping the young person gain a
better understanding of their
emotional triggers and develop
healthier responses.



Emotional Reset

Emotional Reset


In this session, we focus on identifying and processing unwanted or distressing memories that may be impacting emotional well-being.

  • True self delves into the core of self-belief and personal identity. We will address limiting beliefs and negative self-concepts that may be holding the young person back. By reframing these beliefs, we help build a stronger, more positive sense of self, fostering increased confidence and resilience.
  • Path Ahead creates a roadmap for
    ongoing personal growth. This
    includes setting achievable goals,
    reinforcing new positive beliefs, and
    developing strategies to maintain
    progress long after the program ends.

  • Based in South London, I deliver programmes online to overcome geographical limits, but can offer EmpowerMENT sessions at the Wimbledon branch of Rooms for Therapists in South West London.

Where are you based?

  • EmpowerMENT is an excellent program that integrates IEMT and coaching for individuals under 19. However, the IEMTprogramme can be tailored for young people as young as 14.

My 15 year old is only interested in doing EmpowerU?

  • My mental health programs are designed for those up to 24 years old because this is a
    pivotal period of growth and transition, where early support can make a lasting impact
    on emotional well-being and future development.

Why are your services only up to 24 years olds?

Unfortunately I am unable to work with young people who are awaiting or have a
diagnosis of any personality, mood and psychotic disorders.


Conditions I can not work with

  • Although I am qualified to work with children as young as five, I specialise in
    adolescence and young adulthood due to my extensive experience. For those under 11, I
    can recommend excellent coaches who specialise in this age group.

Do you work with under 11s?

Schedule a discovery call, send me an email, or complete the enquiry form to get started, and I’ll provide an information pack. Programmes can be booked once the intake forms and contract are received.
