Stress Management

  • Valerie Viot

    Hi, I’m Valerie Viot, the Centre Manager for Together Against Cancer, a Leicester-based charity dedicated to empowering cancer patients and carers to take control of their own health.

    I qualified as a Wellbeing Coach in 2021 and find it incredibly rewarding to support clients during such challenging times in their lives. Helping them evolve their mindset and coping abilities is a deeply fulfilling part of my work.

    I have always been curious about health, wellness, and human nature. Going through the Wellbeing Coach training course allowed me to deepen my empathy and refine my skills to better support others.

    One of my clients, for example, struggled with family conflict and felt she had to be the rock for everyone else. Through six coaching sessions, she learned to accept that she was doing enough and couldn’t control others’ emotions or behaviour. As a result, she found peace and reduced her stress.

  • 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!”

  • Laura Bamber

    Having spent 15 years in the world of big corporate / finance leading global teams, I am here to change leadership for women. Through my work, I guide women to redefine leadership, confidence, success and visibility in a way that supports them to RISE authentically and radiantly.

    I work with heart centred leaders – senior leaders in the corporate world and female founders. To help you to step into the fullest and most authentic expression of yourself and to support you to nurture the parts of you that have potentially been pushed aside – your intuition, your feminine essence, your joy, your unique gifts and your purpose.

    The outcomes I achieve with my beautiful coaching clients: clarity on your unique, authentic leadership identity; greater sense of purpose at work; more presence; deeper connections in all work / life relationships, more god damn joy; increased energy and a balanced nervous system; the ability to better manage stress; and greater confidence to become visible as a leader

  • 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.

  • Simon Millington

    Hi, I’m Simon. My approach to supporting people to improve their development encompasses establishing what their ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ are, so I can then design tailored learning solutions with them to maximise the impact of our collaboration.

    It is vital to align any delivery to their attitudes and beliefs first and then add value by helping them to recognise the benefits of transforming their existing knowledge and understanding to a new frame of reference.

    These connections should be driven by the person, and my role is to support and guide them through the process of change. Supporting people through their change is a privilege that I am grateful for every day.
