1:1 Mentoring
Our 1:1 mentoring is designed for neurodivergent young people, children struggling with anxiety, school avoidance, confidence, isolation, or those who simply thrive better with personalised support and smaller environments.
We build mentoring around interests, strengths and connection first.
No pressure. No forcing eye contact. No “fixing”.
Just supportive adults, meaningful activities, and a safe space to grow.
We use Zoom alongside the game or software of the young person’s choice – camera on or off is entirely optional. Chat can be verbal or using Zoom or in-game text chat. There are no expectations and no forced activities – interest led and low demand, low stress.
All mentors are experienced youth or play workers or industry specialists, hold and Enhanced DBS and undergo annual safeguarding training.

Interested in Mentoring?
If you would like to discuss mentoring support for your child or young person, please get in touch.
We are happy to talk through needs, interests, availability and whether DigiTribe mentoring feels like the right fit.
How It Works
First schedule a 30 minute Discovery Call with Rachel Conlisk so we can talk about what you and your young person is looking for, ask any questions and hear about what we can offer, and which mentor might be most appropriate.
If you would like to then meet a mentor to see if this is a good fit for your young person, we arrange a 30 minute Meet the Mentor session so your young person can meet their potential mentor and see if they would like to be mentored by them, and what day and time works best for you both.
If they decide yes to mentoring with us, we offer a 6 week block of sessions at £65 inc VAT per session.
We will send you a link to book your first course of mentoring sessions.
