Weed out the damage from
Stress

Lack of Confidence
Trauma (physical / sexual / domestic abuse)
Top performers need more than ability to stay at their best.
Lead professionals carry the pressure of success. You can move from being crushed by a heavy burden to adjusting the balance for improved performance.
As a key leader, you can learn how to shape your team and organisation to perform at their best.
Why suffer burnout from taxing work and draining experiences when you can find the strength to succeed in what you do?
You don’t have to carry alone the anxiety and stress that sometimes goes with heavy responsibilities.
Young people struggle with poor self-image, lack of confidence before examinations and uncertainty about their future when they could be filled with confidence and hope.
Sometimes life gangs up on you, but there are ways of easing the restrictions imposed by circumstances beyond your control.
Neglect and deprivation, sexual and physical abuse in childhood or in toxic relationships as adults are so damaging to the way you live your life. Eliminate the effects of that damage.
Testimonials
I view my life as two separate eras; pre-Colette and post-Colette.
Pre Colette - I was self-conscious and procrastinating, an unhappy workaholic who was so tense that I wasn’t breathing, sleeping or eating properly.
Post Colette – My mind and body is far more relaxed, and I’m more self-confident. I find that I’m doing more work with less effort. I am less self-conscious; my sense of humour is returning and am generally in a much brighter and happier place.
The Journey – outwardly, the technique Colette uses appears to be little more than a relaxed and friendly chat over a cup of tea. Lying beneath that, Colette must be employing some very effective techniques, judging by the profound change in my demeanour and outlook on life during the time I’ve been working with her. I don’t want to analyse things too much (a further movement away from my old self), I am merely content to wallow in the results.
Business owner
Colette has supported me over more than 15 years in school leadership.
Her personal support and coaching have guided me throughout my leadership career in primary education, enabling me to develop as a school leader, enhancing my vision, my leadership skills and strategies, while also evolving the values that have sat at the heart of the schools in which I have worked and led. With her support I have been able to celebrate the successes and, more importantly, manage the huge challenges of school leadership with much greater confidence and self-belief.
Colette has also provided extremely effective leadership coaching for my leadership teams. This has contributed to the development of a strong, focused leadership group enhancing their individual skills and the team's cumulative impact, taking our school through many challenging periods of improvement, including conversion to academy status and achieving successful Ofsted and pupil outcomes.
I would recommend her leadership coaching services, at both a personal and professional level, without reservation.

Headteacher
I have been seeing Colette on and off for a few years, she has been fantastic with helping me manage anxiety and navigate events in my life. Colette really listens, understands and doesn’t judge which really puts you at ease. Colette gave me some really useful coping mechanisms and helped me understand my triggers and to manage them."
Business Manager
I am in charge. All the thorny issues finish on my desk. It was wearing. After a few sessions with Colette, I sort problems without huge cost to me. Best of all, she showed me how to relax and find my inner strength. What a difference she made to my life.
Director
Teenagers by definition can be difficult. When they are riddled with self-doubt, they can be impossible. I don’t know how Colette did it, but my daughter talks to me properly now. She has regained her confidence and is doing all I expect for her to succeed in her exams this year.
Mother (no longer distraught)
My job is dangerous. It kills if I am not careful. The strain of daily performance was grinding me down. I phone Colette from wherever I am performing in the world. When I am in the UK, I visit her. Her words are like magic in healing me and rebuilding my confidence.

I kept my anxieties hidden. My bad memories had done too much damage. I thought it was just me. Colette showed me how to deal with memories and how to find healing. My friends wonder why I am such a different person. I was lucky I took that step to meet someone like Colette.
Solicitor
I was introduced to Colette in January 2023. I had been feeling depressed and anxious for a long time. My mood was not lifting at all.
After receiving six sessions with Colette, my life has been transformed. From spending weeks staying in at home and not wanting to do anything or to be with anyone, my mood has lifted, my confidence has returned, and now I am enjoying an active life once again.

Finding Colette and accessing her life coaching sessions has had the most profound impact on the direction my life has taken, both personally and professionally. Changing negative thought patterns and building my self confidence and self belief has directly improved my outlook on life, along with my ability to manage challenging situations in the workplace and in my personal life. I am now equipped with a range of strategies and tools to turn seemingly negative situations into positive, life affirming actions. My health, well-being, relationships and career have all significantly improved since accessing Colette’s support and she continues to be a source of guidance that I can call upon as a reminder of my strengths and capabilities.
