Mentoring Sessions & Programmes

The Benefits Of Gaming Mentoring

For many young people, gaming isn’t “a distraction”. It’s where they feel most comfortable, most capable, and most themselves. We use that space as a bridge to trust, confidence, and progress.

Your child plays familiar games while a professional mentor joins them, supporting growth through real moments, as they happen, all without turning it into a test or a therapy session.

Sessions are calm, predictable, and led by your child with steady professional guidance in the background.

Best Suited To Young People Who:

What this can develop over time:

Steady progress at a pace your child can tolerate

Who said learning can’t be fun?

Some young people can learn brilliantly, but only when they feel safe enough to try. Our tutoring keeps the Xpact approach: Relationship-led, paced, and low-demand, while still being purposeful and progress-focused.

We support any topic, including exam preparation, and adapt to the learner’s style, tolerance, and confidence levels.

Best suited to young people who:

Tutoring can support:

What's your passion?

Not every young person connects through gaming, but many have a passion that they could talk about for hours. This programme uses your child’s online interests as the foundation for mentoring and skill-building.

That interest becomes the bridge to connection, confidence, and real-life development without the “sit down and talk about feelings” pressure.

Here are some examples:

Our Clients Say...

Our son has ADHD and autism, and emotional regulation has always been the biggest challenge. He would go from calm to overwhelmed in seconds, and nothing seemed to help him understand what he was feeling or why. Xpact has been a turning point for him. He’s learned to recognise his emotions, pause before reacting, and use strategies that actually work for him. The mentor has been patient, consistent and incredibly skilled at bringing out the best in him. The reports Xpact have provided for his EHCP have been detailed, accurate and helpful. They’ve highlighted his strengths, explained his needs clearly, and offered practical recommendations that school has started putting in place. For the first time, we feel like his support truly reflects who he is and what he needs. It’s made a huge difference to his wellbeing, and to our family as a whole.”

Parent, (Cardiff, Wales)

We began working with Xpact when one of our pupils, who struggled with severe anxiety and school avoidance, refused all in-person interventions. The mentoring through gaming was a turning point. It gave him a relationship first, learning second—exactly what he needed. His attendance at online sessions has been excellent, and we’ve seen huge improvements in communication, emotional regulation and self-esteem. The professional updates and reports provided have been incredibly valuable for our EHCP reviews. Xpact has become an essential part of our alternative provision offer.

SENCO, (Secondary School, Kent)

After losing his grandad, our son completely withdrew. He stopped talking about his feelings and pushed everyone away. We were worried he’d never process what had happened. Through Xpact, he found a place where he could talk at his own pace—or sometimes not talk at all, and just be. The mentor was patient, calm and gentle, using the games he loved to help him express emotions he couldn’t say out loud. He’s smiling again. He’s coping better. Most importantly, he has someone he trusts to share the heavy feelings with. We are truly grateful.”

Your child leads. The mentor/tutor supports in real time, noticing and encouraging moments such as:

turn-taking and negotiation
asking for help without shame
managing frustration and setbacks
problem-solving and strategy
teamwork and communication
focus, perseverance, and follow-through

Wrap-up (a few minutes)

A positive end to the session, with a light debrief (voice or chat).
