See how SteppingstoneZ has helped Gen Z navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals
These are real stories from young people who've worked with SteppingstoneZ to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
"I was drowning in exam stress and couldn't concentrate on anything. My anxiety was through the roof. After working with Aaron, I learned how to actually manage the pressure and broke down my revision into manageable chunks. Got the grades I needed!"
"My confidence was non-existent. I'd panic before presentations and avoid speaking up in class. The techniques I learned completely changed how I handle these situations. I actually put my hand up in lessons now!"
"Everyone around me seemed to have their life sorted and I felt so behind. The constant comparison on social media was killing me. Aaron helped me realise I'm on my own path and that's okay. My mental health is so much better now."
"The pressure from my parents about getting into a good uni was suffocating me. I couldn't sleep properly for weeks. Learning how to have those difficult conversations and set boundaries literally saved my sanity. I can breathe again."
"I'd get panic attacks before every exam. My hands would shake and I'd forget everything I'd studied. The coping strategies I learned helped me stay calm and actually perform at my best. Best decision I made during GCSEs."
"I felt like a fraud all the time, like I didn't deserve to be in my classes. Imposter syndrome was eating me alive. Now I can actually acknowledge my achievements without downplaying them. My self-esteem has genuinely improved."
"My friends were all doing better than me in exams and it was crushing. I started avoiding them because I felt so rubbish about myself. I learned that everyone's on different timelines and how to stop comparing myself constantly. Such a weight lifted."
"I had no idea how to revise properly and would just stare at my notes for hours getting nowhere. The study strategies I got were game-changing. I'm actually retaining information now and feeling way more prepared."
"Deciding between sixth form and college was stressing me out so much. Every adult had different advice and I felt paralyzed. Having someone help me think it through properly without pushing their own agenda was exactly what I needed."
"My whole identity was wrapped up in my grades and when I got a bad result, I spiraled. Learning that I'm more than just my exam scores and developing actual self-worth has been life-changing. I wish I'd done this sooner."
"I was so scared to fail that I'd procrastinate until the last minute, which obviously made things worse. Understanding where the fear came from and getting tools to push through it has completely changed how I approach deadlines."
"Balancing school, part-time work, and trying to have a social life was overwhelming me. I'd cry from stress at least once a week. The time management techniques I learned are honestly the only reason I'm surviving right now."
