I am so unbelievably happy I worked with you – I was feeling lost and majorly lacking motivation. Working with you has been everything & more, I feel like a brand new human and I wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for being brilliant & so supportive. I cannot wait to start a new chapter… your coaching has changed my life!

The sign of a classic Treatment Of The Month is how many texts, emails and those self-indulgent What’s App voice messages I send to friends in the aftermath. So apologies to those whom I’ve been bombarding with my enthusiasm for Caroline Britton. 

With Caroline, there is no messing. Of Manchester stock, she cuts to the quick in our one-on-one. Straight in there; she wants to know what you <really> want. If therapy is about healing, Caroline explains, then a session with a life coach is about driving you forwards. Caroline’s USP is that she’s also a little “Witchy”; more on that later. 

I respond, “Well, actually, things are pretty good, thank you very much…”

“OK, so, we both know that I don’t believe you,” she replies without batting an eyelid.

“Well, there is one thing I’d like to explore (Caroline would make an excellent interrogator). There seems to be a pattern in my life where I’m the person <behind> the thing. I got into comedy more than nine years ago, and then became an MC – never the main attraction. Then I got into TV warm-up. Again, I love it, but again I’m the guy behind the thing. And at Balance I’m the deputy editor. Now, I have zero designs on being editor, yet it’s interesting to me that it continues the pattern.”

And we’re off exploring my formative years, discovering why this is the case. I sob uncontrollably on more than one occasion as Caroline explains which key moments in my life have caused me to believe that I’m better off essentially hiding; it’s a form of safety. 

I open up further and admit how I wish more things would land on my lap. I have what I consider a hustler’s mindset – I feel like I’m always on the chase, rather than things coming to me. It is, frankly, exhausting. Caroline points out that I need to remove mental blocks. If I can do this, then things will flow my way. Homework comes in the form of two letters: one is a letter from Fear. The other from Love. I can’t recommend this enough; the catharsis proves stirring. The Fear letter – written the next day – has to be set fire to, and my poor wife must wonder about the ones that got away as I return from the garden, box of matches in one hand, exuberant air punches with the other. 

And now, the magic. Or, as Caroline describes it, “The Witchy Stuff” (her inbox, she says, is crammed full of the witch emoji from delighted clients). With my hand to god, as I wave goodbye to Caroline, my phone rings. Would I like to work on a secret TV project? Yes please. I’ve since signed an NDA like the Yellow Pages, so have to leave that there. Several other opportunities land on my lap in the next few days, including a recent dream gig at the iconic London Palladium (check my Instagram for proof).

Now, with this sort of stuff, you’re either in or you’re out. You’re Fox or Mulder; Kirk or Spock. But with Halloween looming, now might prove the ideal time to let things get a little “Witchy”.

I first met with Caroline as my life was is meltdown. I was getting divorced, my career was stagnant, working in an industry that no longer interested me and I felt totally lost and insecure. It wasn’t a great place to be. Caroline and I talked about where I was now, where I wanted to be plus some of the things that worried me. We looked at how I spoke to myself, which quite frankly was shocking, and discussed my dreams and desires for my future life and self.

Caroline identified quickly that I am a doer, I like to be practical and move things forward wherever possible. Because of this she provided me with practical tips and advice to help me make some serious changes to my own self belief and outlook as to what was possible in my life.

It’s only been three months and already I’m feeling like a different person. I’m still me but so much is different….firstly and most significantly I now notice any negative chat and can halt that with the tools Caroline gave me. I feel more confident and am now pursuing a life that I have always dreamed off, I feel lighter, more focused, kinder on myself and those around me. I’m looking forward, I’m excited and feel incredibly happy most days. Lucky me!

If you told me even a few months ago that I would be doing yoga multiple times a week in addition to other daily exercise, restructuring my career and business to make sure I really love and get fulfilment from what I do every day, and living a relatively busy, sociable, active life just two months after the break-up of a 6 year relationship – I would have told you to get your head read and then I probably would have called Caroline and asked her to help me save my relationship from failure.

And she would have said something incredibly infuriating and undoubtedly correct about the leaving it up to the universe and everything happening for a reason.

But since I actually started believing that and trying to work with it, the improvements in my life and well-being have been massive.

My default setting is resistance. So at first it sounded like I was being asked to leave my life up to fate and sit back and wait for miracles. But working with Caroline has gotten me to the point where I can see that what I need to do is align myself with the things that bring me joy both in work and outside, and then sit back and wait for miracles – knowing that the universe always has my back.

Even in the years of feeling lost before working with Caroline, the universe still had my back, constantly slapping me round the face with reminders that I wasn’t really living the life I wanted, and giving me back all the self-criticism, misery and catastrophising tenfold.

That was easy to accept compared to the realisation that this also can work in a positive way – if I can be brave and honest enough to do what truly brings me joy the universe magic kicks in and hands it to you on a plate and gives you the joy back tenfold.

It’s something I still have a lot of learned, subconscious resistance too – the recognition of which lets me be aware that I have the choice to keep working with the universe despite my egoic and logic driven resistance, and the choice to work regularly with Caroline is a huge part of sustaining this.

One of Caroline’s many gifts is that she can get you to figure out what truly brings you meaning and purpose even when you don’t think you deserve to know what it is, let alone live it. And it definitely helps that she’s got the universe on speed dial. 🧙‍♀🤯

Well what can I say – except that I am a different person today to the one who first met Caroline. Her ability to understand who you are, what you need and the dream that you are striving for makes her a joy to work with.  I always find value in her insights, her brilliant mind & honesty about the hard work that you need to put in – but this is all delivered with genuine feeling, a necessary sense of humour and a proven passion for helping people get the life they want. Thank you for being on my team.

You are so amazing at what you do!

I started working with Caroline 4 months ago, I was in a low place when we started and she made me realise very quickly how to change my normal habits from negative to being positive.

It totally transformed my thinking and now I am starting up my own business. I am very excited and feel happy again.

I couldn’t have done it without your help.
