Bright Lives coaching service

About the service

We know that people can face challenges and obstacles at any stage in their lives which can impact on your ability to cope and manage. The aim of the Bright Lives wellbeing coaching service is to work with you to address issues early on, helping you to move forward with your life.

We do this by providing one-to-one support through an experienced coach who will work with you at your pace to set and achieve realistic goals, helping you to build your resilience and overcome challenges.

We will match you to the right coach and provide a safe and private space for you to meet them. Our coaches will connect you to access other support if you need this so you can make connections and feel confident about the future.;
