List of WCT Graduates

  • 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!”

    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.

    • Develop self-esteem

  • 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.
