About
Overview
Support Is Love was created to offer heart-led, structured support for young people who need more than discipline, they need understanding, consistency, and tools for life.
We recognise that many young people:
- struggle to regulate emotions
- feel misunderstood or unheard
- lack a safe adult they trust
- carry responsibilities or experiences beyond their years
Our mentoring meets young people with care, clarity and boundaries, supporting growth without judgement.
The Founder
Simone Powell
Support Is Love is a holistic mentoring and wellbeing service founded by Simone Powell, created to provide consistent, compassionate, and impactful support for young people and individuals who need more than traditional interventions.
At the heart of Support Is Love is a mentoring approach that centres emotional safety, trust, and authentic connection. The service works closely with young people in schools, alternative provisions, care settings, and through 1:1 support, offering structured mentoring that supports emotional regulation, confidence building, positive decision-making, and personal development.
Simone Powell brings a wealth of lived and professional experience to her work, enabling her to engage young people with empathy, clarity, and calm authority. Her mentoring style is trauma-aware, culturally sensitive, and relationship-led, recognising that sustainable change happens when young people feel seen, heard, and supported, not judged or rushed.
Support Is Love mentoring combines practical guidance with emotional literacy and grounding tools, supporting young people to better understand their emotions, manage stress, improve focus, and develop resilience. Sessions are delivered with consistency and intention, creating safe spaces where young people can reflect, grow, and reconnect with their sense of self and purpose.
While mentoring remains the core of Support Is Love, the organisation also offers complementary wellbeing services including mindfulness practices, reflective tools, and women-focused spaces for healing and self-development. These services are rooted in the same values of care, empowerment, and holistic wellbeing, ensuring a joined-up approach across all support offered.
Support Is Love is committed to working in partnership with schools, carers, and professionals to deliver reliable, ethical, and person-centred mentoring that makes a meaningful difference. Every interaction is guided by integrity, compassion, and the belief that with the right support, individuals can rise into their full potential.
Our approach
The Support Is Love Difference
Support Is Love offers more than mentoring sessions, it provides consistent, relationship-led support rooted in trust, emotional safety, and genuine care.
Every young person is met as an individual, not a referral or behaviour label, allowing meaningful connections to develop over time.
What sets Support Is Love apart is a balance of warmth and structure. Mentoring is delivered with clear boundaries, safeguarding awareness, and accountability, while remaining compassionate, culturally sensitive, and trauma-aware.
This approach enables young people to feel safe enough to open up, reflect, and grow.
Support Is Love integrates emotional wellbeing, practical guidance and life skills, supporting both personal development and educational engagement. Progress is monitored, communication with schools and carers is maintained where appropriate, and mentoring is adapted to meet individual needs.
Above all, Support Is Love is grounded in integrity. Support is consistent, professional, and purposeful ensuring that young people feel supported not just in moments of difficulty, but throughout their journey of growth and change.
