Welcome...
Colette Aragones
Life Coach & Listener
I have always found Dragonflies beautiful to watch and have over the years discovered that they are a symbol of transformation, growth and maturity.
As humans, it's easy to become engrossed in the daily habits and routines we set for ourselves, until we decide that change is needed in order to live the life we so deserve and crave, as opposed to sometimes just existing and feeling stuck. If you're struggling or feeling like something is holding you back, then get in touch and book your complimentary, no obligatory introductory session with me and see how I can support you....

My Story
Hi, my name is Colette Aragones and I have always thrived helping others. I have overcome my own challenges and pitfalls in life, including a life changing accident, which ultimately set about ending my successful career as a nurse and life as I knew it. On my journey I became rather lost, my identity had been stripped from me, my purpose in life to help others was not being fulfilled in a way that I was used to and I questioned for many years what my future could be when feeling constantly pained and exhausted. I realised along the way, that society encourages us to measure success by way of career, monetary wealth, possessions and status, which was holding me back from feeling satisfied with where my life was, in comparison to where it had once been. I now measure success by my ability to see the positives in life, despite the daily challenges I still face and also by way of the impact I leave on those I cross paths with, if only momentarily. If I can leave a person feeling better about themselves, gain clarity over a situation, or just generally feel lighter, more lifted and motivated after their interaction with me, then I have succeeded. I live a life of gratitude. It could have been so different, but here I am living and breathing in all my peri menopausal glory!!!!
Let me help you find your way....
With an extensive background in healthcare, in nursing, managerial and other roles I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to my clients. Having worked in various supporting roles, paid and on a voluntary basis, I have had wide exposure to many different people seeking to overcome challenges. Some of these include LGBTQ+, facilitating a Transgender support group, helping individuals navigate the transitioning process and offering emotional and practical skills to ease the journey. Over the last two decades I have also worked with several charities in emotionally supportive and educational roles and as this is my passion and purpose, I continue to do so. Along with my own personal challenges and my professional knowledge and expertise through study and working with real people, I am more than equipped to listen, facilitate, coach and be your biggest supporter in whatever capacity you need.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The Help You Need
Listening service
A Personal Approach
A Listening Service is offered for those seeking a less formal interaction than coaching, in a safe space. Being heard and supported through life’s challenges is important for our mental wellbeing and can sometimes be all we need to gain clarity and strength to push forward. At times we need more than a chat with friends or family and may not want to disclose or share troubles or woes with those closest to us. In this confidential and non-judgemental space, you will have the freedom to do so and can set up this time for yourself as frequently as you feel is necessary, be that weekly, monthly or ad hoc. This service can be utilised as a stand alone or as the means to begin your coaching journey.

The Coach Approach
Coaching can be a great tool for those individuals who want to make change, have a specific goal, or who have been stuck behind old patterns of the past and are ready to put that behind them and focus on a more fulfilling future. It can be just the thing needed to recognise and change old habits and unlock the potential within. Whether you need help to clarify goals, identify obstacles that are holding you back to reach your full potential or become a truer version of yourself, I offer a partnership approach to get you there. With encouragement and support to find your answers and goals, we will work together to formulate a stepped plan to reach the outcome that you wish to achieve.
