| About us |
|---|
Grace and Alan Chatting are a partnership of Plymouth writers, coaches, therapists and presenters, whose latest venture is to provide high-quality, locally hosted CPD for Plymouth professionals. Grace and Alan met in their forties at a group interested in Transpersonal Psychology. Alan was a teacher and Grace a Social Worker. At the time they were both divorced and involved in Counsellor training. They discovered that they were a great match for each other and both wanted a conscious relationship. Fifteen years later they are very happily married.
Along the way they have both become professional therapists Family Mediators and also Life, Business, and Executive and Relationship Coaches. They have a large practice in Plymouth in the South-West of the UK and they also have a coaching centre in Andalucia, Spain.
