David Cotterill

Hello, I expect you're reading my profile because you're at a stuck place in your life circumstances right now and you need someone you can trust to guide and help you.

Maybe you're grappling with low self esteem, strained relationships, frustration at work or perhaps even all of these, but you've been hesitant to start making the changes that you know deep down have got to happen.

I've helped many clients like you who have already spent valuable time and money on self-help books (keeping your local Amazon courier in work) or who've been meditating like mad without a breakthrough or trying those yoga retreats, perhaps even hypnosis, yet still asking, "Why am I stuck in this mental and emotional prison?"

The good news is that as a professional life coach and experienced psychotherapist I can help you break out of that prison and by integrating coaching with solution-focused therapy when it's needed. I offer a comprehensive holistic approach to guide you toward achieving your personal and professional goals with mental and emotional clarity.

Just imagine the transformative impact on your life once you overcome those challenges!  What remarkable and positive changes could you experience?

Life & Career and coaching and mentoring has the potential to be truly life-changing, unlocking some of the most fulfilling experiences for you as you grow in confidence and reclaim control.

Here are some of the comments I've received from my clients. (I always work in confidence so I don't give out full names).

Client Craig B, Wickham Bishops, Essex, "David had been an immense help in navigating some of the inevitable challenges life has thrown my way. His empathetic style, combined with straight-talking, practical advice was just what I needed. As a fellow male with so much life experience himself, he was able to share his wisdom and I really felt this helped maximise the impact of my sessions with him. He's a legend - what more can I say?"

Client Debbie H, Counsellor, Essex: David instantly made me feel at ease in our 1st introductory call and in our further appointments I found David very easy to talk to and he listened to me with empathy and no judgment. What he has taught me has helped me so much personally and it has also helped with my close relationships and with my business too. I was heading for burnout and now that has disappeared! I highly recommend David.

Client Matt W, Colchester, Thanks again for everything, Dave because I truly believe with your guidance I've changed into such a good man and I can't thank you enough".

Client SC, Essex UK, Retired former law firm owner, following his 'Discovery Session' "David thank you for yesterday, it was awesome!"

Client TB, "Compared with the mindset I had at our first meeting to where I am now is amazing"

Client AB, following three sessions of coaching: "I think that our sessions have been a huge help for me in order to boost my self confidence and get me to where I am now". The penny is definitely starting to drop now....I felt like I couldn't get out of the thinking pattern, that the thoughts were me and I was acting on every emotion and being pulled around. I now get an emotion but then watch and question."

Client C, Senior NHS Consultant: "I wanted to let you know, David, that I am so happy compared to how I used to feel and that is all due to your help, support and therapy as I really am a different person now much stronger and more confident."

Client MW, self employed Contractor: "Today was great, Dave, really feel like I've got some great things from our chat today."

Client CE, ex-offender: "Change the thought, cancel the feeling!"

Fees:

At our first contact, I provide a discovery call or meeting at no cost to you.

I like to be affordable so I try to keep coaching session fees at the lower end of the range so I base session fees on £1 per minute i.e. £60 per hour, £75 for and hour and a quarter and so on.

I send your a secure link for you to pay through Squareup.

3 & 6 Month coaching and mentoring packages are available with discounts for pre-payment.

8 week fast-track project mentoring £640 or £499 pre-paid.

Corporate coaching and mentoring for business £2 per minute, minimum fee £150 per session.

I have a friendly, conversational style and I'm always putting you first - you are the focus, not me.

The first quick win for you is getting a grip on what has been stopping you achieving the change you want and equipping you to start on the pathway to recognise the unlimited power and capability you have to create and sustain the next chapter of your personal development in life, career and relationships.

So whether its life coaching, career coaching, relationship or spiritual development, you know you will be with someone who has lived a life of change, sometimes imposed, sometimes by choice but always with an attitude of adventure and a sense of fun.

How is mentoring different from coaching?  It's more a relationship of mutual respect. I have been a life coach for many years but have recently found that due to my life experience in the areas I specialise, mentoring is a much more satisfying approach for most clients.

As for our face to face meetings, we can initially meet up at a coffee shop or cafe which is a safe public space and then once we have rapport and trust we can meet privately in a safe space such as your home or my office.

Recent client experiences have involved a 3 month coaching agreement which starts with one session per week and then depending on progress we might drop back to once a fortnight with interim chats on Whatsapp. 

We regularly monitor progress and I'm very flexible in adapting to your timing and working in a way that's comfortable whilst keeping you accountable to meet our agreed outcomes.
