Charlie MitchellCreative coaching has evolved from various activities I have undertaken throughout my life,
including sewing, knitting, crocheting, glass painting, cooking, gardening, drawing, painting,
writing and playing the piano.
I have been passionate about personal development since reading Scott Peck's 'The Road Less
Travelled' when I was about 10 years old. I qualified in advice and guidance initially, but found
there were a greater number of ‘ah-ha’ moments using coaching methods and completed a diploma in
life coaching through the Coaching Academy in September 2005.
I have experience of working with people from a variety of backgrounds, from senior managers,
to those who are excluded from society for various reasons. I am also a registered 'Train the
Trainer' tutor (CIEH), and qualified to assess NVQs in coaching as an Associate Assessor with the
Coaching Academy.
Reflecting is vital to me, making sure I am able to learn from each experience in order to
improve my practice. I also receive regular supervision from another qualified life coach, to
ensure the consistent quality and ongoing improvement of my sessions.
I have been able to achieve the following by having my own coach:
- Career progression in line with my values
- Stopped smoking
- Lost three stone in weight
- Ran three half marathons (having previously believed it was completely impossible!)
- Ran the London Marathon in 2005 – a lifelong dream
- Volunteered in India as part of a four month journey
Creative Soirée runs on the second Thursday of every month, from 7pm to 9pm, at Millers Yard in
York. It is a social time for people to get together and share their creativity. From drawing and
painting to knitting and writing, everyone is welcome! £2 to cover room hire.
