Meet your Coach

Hello, I am Celia

My life journey has certainly been varied.

At times rewarding, at times challenging, like everyone’s. My journey has seen me transition from a primary school teacher, emigrating to Australia, becoming a wife & mother of three amazing daughters, even leaving teaching to start up and run a goat farm in a wine region! I really was living my dream sustainable life on my farm. Then it all changed again, as we embarked on expat life living in three different continents & 4 countries. 22 years later I returned to England & my journey shifted dramatically through a difficult divorce to become a single mother struggling to find her pathway & direction. I have faced a fair deal of identity crises over the years, but via various counsellors & support groups, I found great strength in seeking out others to support me through trauma, uncertainty & come to understand who I am & what truly gives me pleasure.

Through it all I have stayed connected to art & nature as an educator, artist, photographer, therapist & coach.

As a photographer I did a 12 month study of my local woods in Surrey, England on my daily woodland walks with my scruffy little Bobby dog. This 12 month collection of daily photographs, taken during covid & while I was going through my divorce, captured the same environment through all the marvellous changes of the seasons. It also saved me from the emotional pain I was going through. I learnt to see life differently & see the connection between nature's changes to my own, see the positives, see new life, new growth & connect this back to myself. Even during the hibernating seasons of Autumn & Winter there are so many wonderful colours and sights to see, if only you look for the positives.

I use these photographs in my work with my clients & also encourage clients to get outside & offer Walk & Talk sessions as part of our work.

 Is your glass half full or half empty?

Don't look for the negatives, embrace the positives.

It is a mindset to see the good in your life and in you. There are so many positives in your life, you may just need help & clarity to see them.

By working with me, I can guide you by looking at nature to see your journey afresh.

What is C through my eyes Coaching?

C through my eyes Coaching draws on my own life journey, experiences, & personal therapy, to bring to my clients the best of what I have learnt, practical, proven tools that actually work. My teaching background enables me to adapt to each client's own needs, communicating easily. It is important to know why your mind, body & soul feels the way they do, so my clients learn about the science behind our brains & what they can do to bring about positive reactions & change. All of this with my own unique twist, my 'Nurture through Nature' Programmes. This is not generic life coaching, it is so much more. This gentle yet powerful approach, incorporates reflective photography work, bringing strong visual connections with nature to ourselves.

I offer a safe space in my consulting room for face to face sessions & also offer online sessions if more convenient & for clients not local.

I offer 1 on 1 coaching & also online group coaching courses.

I provide regular Wine, Art & Mindfulness Events and Walk & Talk Events.

My range of therapeutic disciplines include: Talk Therapy, Art Therapy, Photography Reflections, Music, Journaling, Breathwork, Walking Therapy, Visualisation & Manifestation.

Using our 5 Senses and the body as a whole to explore, embrace, process and embody the person we were meant to be and can be. This combination of therapeutic techniques combined with my 'Nurture through Nature' ethos brings creativity into my work & balances both Masculine & Feminine Energy to...

·      Reconnect with your SELF, aligning Mind, Body & Soul to Live the Life you Desire & Dream 

·      A Gentle yet Highly Powerful Approach

·      With Proven, Practical & Personalised Activities, to Achieve Real Change & Success

·      This is not just Talk Theory

·      This Is Actionable & Real

I look at the masculine energy of DOING:

Practical

Problem solving

Goal setting

Tasks

Accountability

These are all positive and strong process action methods.

Equally important is the feminine energy of BEING:

Intuitive

Flexible

Creative

Ever changing

These are qualities to embody and become what you desire.

When you combine both, bringing the feminine BEING energy into the foreground, you allow the masculine DOING tasks to happen organically, as you EMBODY change,

BELIEVE in yourself and become the NEW YOU, living the NEW LIFE you desire & deserve.

Within my work with clients I provide life coaching, therapy or a mixture of both.

If clients do want a more therapy based session or group of sessions, to address their past, any trauma, or just to discuss what comes up in the moment, this can also be accommodated. Whether that is looking at the week just gone, talking through the client's own mental health awareness and journey, thoughts, feelings or emotions, as all sessions are all client led, it is a personalised journey.

We are a result of our environment, our upbringing, where we have been, where we are now & where we want to be in the future. I guide clients to see clearly, to see afresh, to learn what they can & cannot change, how to let go of old limiting beliefs that don't serve them & adopt new expansive beliefs that uphold their values in life, allowing their thoughts, feelings and actions to live the life they desire & deserve. Our environment shapes us, there is no doubt about that. We’ve all heard that before, but sometimes we get preoccupied with our environment, our situation, other people, & it consumes us. These are external things, this is not us. This is not the essence of who we are as a person. We have lost our focus. We have forgotten about us, and we begin to cope with life, instead of living life. It’s easy to do. Remember your situation doesn’t define you, it’s just where you are at this moment. You define who you are. Perhaps you need to change your environment, your direction or your mindset.

How can we change our mindset, how can we see things, how can we shift our focus back onto ourselves and remember who we truly are & how we want to live? By going back to basics, to nature, he earth’s basic environment. When we use nature to guide and direct us, we embrace the life we want to be living to become our best versions of ourselves.

Come on a journey with me.

See who you truly are, where you want to go in life, how you want to get there and see the beauty within and beyond.
