Personal Growth

  • Sally Bratton

    Mental health has always been of interest, due to my own experiences of anxiety and depression, grieving and low self-esteem. To enable my transformation, I had to learn how to face, and overcome, these specific struggles.

    The introduction of a daily mix of physical exercise (walks in nature are my favourite!), social interactivity, mindfulness, and gratitude were catalysts for my new-found happiness. I realised a powerful desire to help others reach their ‘happy place’.

    Since qualifying as a Wellbeing Coach, I’m now helping customers across the UK and Spain to overcome their unique struggles and maximise their health and happiness – encouraging them to also put wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.

    I’m so happy to have reached this point and have a work role that gives me true meaning and purpose – at last!”

  • Mike Callahan

    Having worked with young people for over 30 years as a teacher and Curriculum Leader, I have seen first-hand how life has gradually changed for them.

    I am passionate about empowering young people to create positive changes in their lives. Once they develop this ability, it becomes a lifelong strength, shaping them into confident, well-rounded individuals.

    I Help To:

    • Develop self-esteem
    • Bolster self-confidence and foster a positive self-image
    • Be less worried and anxious while developing a positive mindset
    • Learn various techniques and strategies to manage challenges and stress

    In addition to working with young people on a 1:1 basis, I also collaborate with families to set boundaries and create practical solutions. My mission is to help young people build resilience, confidence, and emotional intelligence, so they can navigate life’s challenges with a strong and positive mindset.

  • Katie Tucker

    Hi, I’m Katherine, but everyone calls me Katie. I’m a Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT) Tutor, Creative Wellbeing Coach, and the founder of Devine-Creative. My mission is to help people overcome ‘dis-ease’ and feel empowered to heal themselves through creative expression.

    After experiencing stress and overwhelm in my corporate career, I discovered the transformative power of HICAT. This journey led me to become a HICAT Practitioner, Facilitator, and Master Practitioner, deepening my expertise in holistic healing. Now, I run an online college offering HICAT Practitioner Training, supporting students to understand the power of these beautifully simple but very effective, creative tools to comfort and heal.

    Through one-on-one coaching, group workshops, and immersive training, I guide individuals in using creative tools to restore balance, reduce stress, and enhance well-being. At Devine-Creative, we don’t judge—we listen, understand, and trust our intuition, creating a safe space for healing and self-discovery.

  • Christine Coulson

    Hi, I’m Christine Coulson, a Sobriety and Wellbeing Coach, dedicated to helping people examine their relationship with alcohol and achieve an alcohol-free lifestyle.

    Alcohol is everywhere! There are few occasions where it doesn’t play a part in society—births, deaths, good days, bad days, sunny days, and snowy days.

    Some people have a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude toward alcohol, while others struggle with dependence. But those aren’t the only options! Many people fall somewhere in between—not hitting rock bottom but still feeling like their relationship with alcohol isn’t a positive one. It’s incredibly common, yet rarely talked about.

    I quit alcohol in January 2022, and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my well-being! Now, I’m dedicated to helping others in that ‘middle area’ see that life without booze is possible—and how to achieve it.

    I’m also passionate about educating other coaches on how to support clients who may have concerns about alcohol.

  • Deborah Dolby

    I’m Deborah Dolby, a Wellbeing Life Coach.

    In my fifties, I feel more vibrant than ever, but my journey began in a place of overwhelm. Despite building two successful businesses, teaching, and living in my dream home, I often felt trapped in an endless cycle—constantly busy yet never truly fulfilled.

    For years, I craved external validation, fearing rejection and battling deep-seated feelings of inadequacy. But now, success looks different to me. Instead of chasing something outside myself, I trust my own rhythm, embrace joy without conditions, and honor progress over perfection.

    My philosophy is simple yet profound: Seek to understand yourself rather than striving to be understood by others. Everything you need is already within you.

    As a Wellbeing Coach, I now guide others on their own journeys—helping them reconnect with themselves and step into their fullest potential.

  • Sarah Ashford

    Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a modern quilter and Wellness Coach, passionate about the mental health benefits of learning new skills, sewing, and creativity. This year, I’m writing a column on Wellness and Creativity for a popular Australian magazine, expanding the conversation around wellness.

    I work with small cohorts of clients, supporting them one-on-one and overseas via Zoom. I love providing a listening ear, helping people set goals, and live with intention. I also volunteer with @finecellwork, supporting individuals transitioning from prison back into society.

    For years, I struggled with exhaustion and overwhelm, but through my own journey, I learned how to prioritise my wellbeing. Now, I use my experience and training to help others make small, positive changes. Whether in person or online, my mission is to provide the space, tools, and support to help you become the best version of yourself.
