Mentis Mindset coaching for teenagers
Mentis is eight sessions of mindset coaching for teenagers. With one mentor, your child learns to notice the beliefs that hold them back, test better ones in real life, and write down the principles they want to live by.
Is this your child?
If you’ve thought any of these about your child, Mentis was built for them.
What changes
The shifts Mentis is built around, described the way you would notice them at home.
How it works
Between sessions
Between sessions your child runs a two-week experiment: one new habit or way of thinking, tried in real life and logged every day. Experiments, not promises, so trying something and having it fail still counts as progress.
We map how your child thinks today: the beliefs and habits they picked up without ever choosing them.
Identity and standards. Who they want to be, and what that person does on an ordinary Tuesday.
How they see problems. Checking their assumptions before reacting to them.
Getting things done. Starting before they feel ready and finishing before it is perfect.
Pressure and setbacks. Staying steady when things go wrong, and learning from it.
Momentum. Building habits that keep going after the motivation wears off.
Other people. Handling emotions, celebrating friends, and being honest without armour.
Putting it together. Your child finishes their Codex, the principles they have written for themselves.
What they keep
A short book of operating principles your child writes for themselves, drafted in their journal across eight sessions. When pressure arrives later, at exams, in friendships, in their first job, they have their own words to go back to.
Belief tracker
Beliefs they inherited, where they came from, and whether they still help.
Experiment log
Each two-week experiment: what they tried, what happened, what they learned.
Discomfort log
Things they were nervous to do, did anyway, and how it actually went.
Daily log
One mindset practised each day and what they noticed about themselves.
Streak chain
One small daily action, tracked. The only rule is not to break the chain.
Weekly reflection
One page every Sunday: what did I learn about how I think this week?
Your child’s mentor
One mentor, from the first session to the last. They get to know how your child thinks, so each session picks up where the last one left off.

Role and background
A few lines on who they are, what they have done, and why they coach Mentis. Parents read this to decide whether they trust this person with their child, so make it specific.
Works with your child on
For the curious
Thirty-six mindsets grouped into six areas, drawn from Stoic philosophy, behavioural psychology and performance research. Each area builds on the one before.
