Life Coach Profile : Claire Bradford

About me
Somebody once coined the phrase ‘positive not perfect’ and this is my aim for myself and for my clients. I have learned over the years to play to my strengths and to learn and grow from every situation life throws at me. I have also learned to take myself a lot less seriously and life a lot more seriously!

Having had considerable experience of relocation and of weight loss as life changing issues, these have become my specialities. I relocated to France five years ago after a lot of soul searching and preparation, then relocated back again less than a year later (for love, I hasten to add, not because I didn’t like it there!). We are currently planning to go back over there as a family in a couple of years’ time.

I’ve battled with my weight since childhood, yo-yoing dramatically and trying every miracle diet going for a good few years. I’m now at a good weight for me and have been for a few years, and it feels fantastic – not only to be slim and full of energy, but to be free of the burden of feeling I ‘should’ lose weight.

I’m very happily married to Richard and we have two beautiful daughters, Emika (6) and Trinity (2). I have spent five years teaching English, both in UK secondary schools and TEFL in France and England. During my time teaching and in other roles, I often found myself motivating and helping people plan and achieve their goals. When I was told about life coaching, it felt like the idea had been tailor-made for me. The rest is history!

A qualified professional life coach, NLP practitioner and a member of the Coaching Academy, I have been coaching for six years. I'm approachable, friendly and encouraging and can help you live the life you deserve to live. Contact me.
