Our mission is simple: Support people to connect with themselves and each other.
Through workshops, coaching and talking therapies we encourage
our clients to understand and express themselves.
A fundamental human need is to feel understood and that's exactly what we help you to do.
Whether it's for you personally or your organisation, our expert coaches work with you to
identify your values, define who you are, what you stand for... and to communicate that with confidence.
So, what do you want to explore?
About our Founder
As a child I felt misunderstood, sort of stuck behind an invisible veil. Not confident to express myself fully and living with a disease to please!
I was fascinated with people who expressed themselves freely, without seeming to care what others thought!
So, I dedicated my life to understanding what it is to be human, to know ones-self and to find the courage to share that with others.
In my 20's I became a producer, making documentaries for the BBC. I've always had a knack for helping people tell their stories, extracting the truth of their experience and distilling it into insights that inform, inspire or benefit someone else.
I listened and learned and over 10 years I gathered wisdom from world leaders, athletes, writers, artists, business people... about how to turn ideas into products, dreams into reality and most importantly, how to share thoughts and feelings with integrity.
I uncovered a magic formula that all of the most successful people live by and I wanted to share this with as many people as possible, to help them make positive change in their lives.
So I took my natural gift for encouraging people to explore and express themselves. Went back to university, studied coaching, cognitive behavioural therapy and blended that with powerful communication techniques ... and BOOM! CHAT was born!

CONNECTION
By developing a connection with yourself through increased self-awareness, you’ll create more meaningful connections with others.
HONESTY
By genuinely understanding others and communicating with integrity you'll unlock deeper personal and professional relationships.
When we're honest with each other, the fear of vulnerability reduces and we can profit from more meaningful interactions.
AUTHENTICITY
When what you think and feel on the inside matches what you say and do on the outside, you are living in alignment.
Being aligned means leaving behind tendencies to manipulate or pressure others and instead create mutually respectful relationships.
TRUST
Strong relationships are based on trust. Without it we can’t rely on anything or anyone. Loyalty and respect are a result of trust, so we teach you how to build honest, authentic and trustworthy connections with people. Whether that's colleagues, clients, friends or family.
