Emotional wellbeing is a deeply personal journey. While group support can benefit many, some individuals find it hard to open up or feel overwhelmed in shared settings. At All About Us, we recognize that some people need a different kind of support, one that offers space, time, and a dedicated person who listens and understands. This is why our 1–2–1 emotional wellbeing sessions are designed to meet each person exactly where they are, with care and flexibility.
Support Built Around the Individual
Every person’s emotional wellbeing journey is unique. Our 1–2–1 sessions reflect this by focusing entirely on the individual’s needs, strengths, communication style, and pace. There is no fixed template or pressure to conform to expectations that don’t fit. Instead, sessions are planned collaboratively, ensuring the individual remains at the centre of all decisions.
This approach means that whether someone needs a few sessions to navigate a specific challenge or ongoing support to build life skills, the programme adapts to their evolving needs. The flexibility allows for genuine progress without feeling rushed or boxed in.
What Our 1–2–1 Sessions Offer
Our emotional wellbeing support combines three key elements:
Mentoring
A trusted, consistent relationship that focuses on encouragement, guidance, and confidence building. Mentors listen deeply and help individuals explore their feelings and goals without judgment.
Life Skills Development
Practical skills are essential for managing everyday life. We support emotional regulation, establishing routines, fostering independence, improving communication, and enhancing problem-solving abilities. These skills help make daily challenges more manageable.
Person-Centred Programmes
Each support plan is built around personal goals, interests, and priorities—not labels or diagnoses. This ensures that the support feels relevant and meaningful, empowering individuals to take ownership of their wellbeing.
What We Support With
Our 1–2–1 wellbeing sessions can help with a wide range of emotional and practical challenges, including:
Anxiety or emotional overwhelm
Low confidence or self-esteem
Social isolation or withdrawal
Difficulty managing emotions
Challenges with routines or transitions
Preparation for independence or adulthood
Barriers to engagement in education or community life
Because support is flexible, it changes as needs evolve. For example, someone might start with help managing anxiety and later focus on building independence skills.
Neuroaffirming and Trauma-Informed Approach
Our work is rooted in understanding rather than trying to fix behaviour or change who someone is. We recognize that emotional needs are complex and often linked to past experiences. Our approach is neuroaffirming and trauma-informed, meaning we respect neurological differences and the impact of trauma on wellbeing.
Instead of pushing for quick fixes, we provide strategies that support emotional regulation, build self-belief, and promote lasting wellbeing. This creates a safe space where individuals feel valued and understood.
Practical Examples of 1–2–1 Support in Action
Supporting a young adult with anxiety
A young person struggling with anxiety found group sessions overwhelming. Through 1–2–1 mentoring, they learned calming techniques and built confidence to gradually engage in social activities, leading to improved wellbeing and independence.
Helping someone prepare for adulthood
An individual preparing to live independently worked on life skills such as budgeting, cooking, and managing appointments. The person-centred plan focused on their interests and goals, making the learning process relevant and motivating.
Building emotional regulation skills
For someone experiencing emotional overwhelm, sessions included exploring triggers and practicing coping strategies. Over time, they gained tools to manage emotions more effectively in daily life.
