David Cotteril

Life Coach
POA

Hi, I’m David, I am a professional Life Transition Coach and Mentor.

I specialise in transformational mentoring for professionals and individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their true selves. My proven approach helps you:

  • Gain clarity in your purpose and direction.
  • Reconnect with your authentic self.
  • Break free from limiting beliefs.
  • Discover greater inner peace and balance.

I am able to work with anyone facing a major life change or simply looking to reconnect with your true self and purpose.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in life or career, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a deeper sense of purpose, our conversations together gently reveal the innate wisdom and resilience already within you.

There’s nothing to fix – just something powerful to realise about the unlimited potential to which we all have access. This knowledge will become the foundation for your increased confidence.

My work is grounded in real life experience, natural, logical but spiritually inclusive and insight-based. It’s not therapy, but most find it deeply healing and transforming. If you’re seeking clarity, purpose and balance, I can help you unlock your inner peace and rediscover the strength and confidence to live a life that truly reflects who you are.

What to expect:

  • Free discovery session: our first session is an opportunity to explore your needs and how I can support you.
  • Flexible scheduling: I offer evening and weekend appointments to fit around your busy life.
  • Tailored sessions: each session is personalised to your unique journey, whether you’re navigating life transitions, pursuing personal growth, or seeking greater fulfilment.
  • Long-lasting results: my focus is on creating transformation that lasts – tools and insights you can carry forward in every area of life.

My style is relationship-based, not focused on high pressure goal-setting but on creating a nurturing space where you can explore, grow and thrive. I guide you through practical and spiritual insights that help you embrace moment-to-moment opportunities for a better quality of life.

How is mentoring different from coaching?
– it’s more a relationship of mutual respect.

I have been a life coach for many years but have recently found that due to my life experience in the areas I specialise, mentoring is a much more satisfying approach for most clients.

Recent client experiences have involved a 3 month coaching programme which starts with one session per week and then depending on progress, we might drop back to once a fortnight with interim mentoring chats on Whatsapp. We regularly monitor progress and I’m very flexible in adapting to your timing and working in a way that’s comfortable whilst keeping you accountable to meet our agreed outcomes.

My proven “Anxiety Circuit Breaker” sessions can be face to face or online. Two meetings should be enough to get you more clarity of mind. This technique transforms the energy we waste in overthinking into creative inspiration.

I’ve navigated the challenges of marriage, divorce and parenting. I’m a proud grandfather and cancer survivor, and through it all, I’ve learned the value of resilience, faith and living authentically.
