IMPROVING LIFE OUTCOMES
MindSpark partners with educators, professionals, universities and youth and neurodivergence services to support children, young people, and adults in developing essential life skills. Our work promotes self-regulation, well-being, and success across education, work, and everyday life.
EXECUTIVE FUNCTION COACHING
We train professionals to deliver executive function coaching to individuals who struggle with their attention, working memory, emotion regulation and task initiation. They build resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills by applying practical strategies, leading to stronger social connections and greater success in school, work, and personal growth.
SCHOOLS & ORGANISATIONS
We support organisations through executive function consultation and training services as well as intervention and evaluation support. Our approach to metacognition and self-regulation has been successfully applied across educational, workplace, and community settings, equipping individuals with the tools they need to succeed.

WHAT ARE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS?
Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes that help us to plan and organise our responses, regulate our behaviour and control our emotions.

Coach Training Graduate
After training with MindSpark, and learning about the power of goal-setting and the use of empathy rather than discipline, my student slowly but surely began achieving the potential that was always inside of him.
It was not a straightforward journey and we encountered challenges along the way, but there is no doubt that, because of my training, my student’s quality of life drastically improved. Significantly, his school results only got better and better, and he is now at a top-performing student in his year group at a competitive London day school.

Executive Functioning is key to helping students understand how they function and stay in the learning zone. By sharing and developing key skills they learn how to overcome difficulties, build resilience and value themselves and others within the school and wider community.
Education Professional & Coach Training Graduate
What has been really empowering for us is that we are switching from providing students with things to do as tasks and targets that come from us, and putting the student in the driving seat. In my experience, doing this means that there is more motivation for students to make those changes. I am certainly seeing some measurable success from coaching them through setting their own targets.
Youth Work Practitioner & Coach Training Graduate
[Learning about executive functions] has enhanced my strategy and the way I plan and prepare a session. If I base it around what I’m going to discuss with a young person and what sort of outcome I’m looking for, it gives me something that I can work from and a better visual image of what we’re looking to achieve. It’s just given me a better map to gauge everything.
