Colette gave me support when I needed to make some changes to my life due to health reasons. My sessions helped me to move forward with life.

Colette worked with me using her fantastic NLP skills. She helped me to manage my stress and anxiety through the menopause. I was finally able to gain clarity, take action and generally feel more confident going forward. I would definitely recommend her because not only is she an absolute professional she's also a warm, down to earth person who's passionate about her work and clients. More...

I had sessions with Colette when I was going through an extremely difficult time in my life. I had given up all hope and was close to suicide.
The sessions with Colette gave me new angles with which to view my dire situation, and to be honest once hope set in, i realised it was not as terrible as I had first thought.
She helped me to look at my life anew and forge a new path, from which I am now, the happiest I have ever been.
I am totally grateful. I owe you so much.

I found Colette easy to work with and she helped me out a great deal. She listened and understood my issues as we worked with them week by week. She was empathic throughout my ups and downs , and remained calm. She is a wonderful coach to work with and I can now see changes for the better in my life. She really gets to the root of your problems. Thank you Colette. I would highly recommend 👌. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love counselling and coaching, as there is nothing that feels better than helping clients find the solutions to what might be holding them back from living the life they desire. It is often a journey of both highs and lows and it can be difficult to realise that sometimes change takes time, and just by taking little baby steps change will be possible.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having worked as a counsellor and a coach for many years within GPs, and specialised with families in crises, work stress and relationship struggles. It was always my passion to have my own business one day. During the COVID lockdown I decided to follow my heart and I set up Colette Life Solutions which initially started with me counselling and coaching clients who were struggling with having a healthy lifestyle, managing their relationships and loneliness as a result of the pandemic. This has enabled to launch my business working as a counsellor in private practice.
Why should our clients choose you?
I create a warm, safe and confidential space which is non-judgmental, to enable clients to explore what might be going on for them.
It is important that you to choose the right counsellor for you, I will therefore have an initial 30 minute free call with you to hear a bit more about the problem and share with you what I offer. If you choose me I promise that I will listen to you, give empathy and warmth as I genuinely care for people and love helping them to improve their lives. As a integrative counsellor and NLP practitioner I am open to trying different techniques, if something hasn't worked we just try something else, it's all about supporting you to get your desired outcome. Everyone is unique so the same thing doesn't work for everyone. What is important is that you are clear about the outcome that you want, if you are not clear that's fine sometimes this can take time, but I will be there to support you.
Helping you is so important to me as I had low self esteem, low self confidence, low self worth and anxiety for many years. As a result I know first hand how these sort of problems can affect a persons quality life and prevents them from having, being, doing and feeling how they want. Through NLP I was able to change my life and I want to share what I have learnt with you.

Depression and Anxiety
I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts/feelings and how this impacts your life. Symptoms of depression can include a continuous low mood or sadness, feeling hopeless and helpless, tearfulness, irritability and intolerance towards others, lack of motivation or interest, not getting enjoyment out of life, and having thoughts of self-harm or suicide. Anxiety symptoms may involve excessive worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, physical symptoms such as a racing heart or muscle tension, and avoidance of situations that cause stress or fear.
We will assess the underlying causes of your symptoms, identify negative thought patterns, and work together to develop coping strategies tailored to your needs. Through various therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotional regulation practices, we will focus on managing and reducing symptoms, helping you regain a sense of control and balance. With the right support, you can develop healthier ways of thinking and coping, leading to improved emotional well-being.

All relationships have ups and downs whether it be with a partner, parent, child or friend.

Together, we’ll work towards understanding your needs and developing strategies that lead to a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with yourself or others.
Parent Counselling and Coaching
I offer a supportive space for parents, where we can explore the challenges you face in raising your children.

With tailored support, you can feel more confident in your role as a parent and foster a nurturing environment for your child's growth and development.
