From Mental Health to Human Potential: My Journey into Coaching

Welcome to The Mindful Narrative. I’m so pleased you’re here.

I’m Nathan, a coaching professional, trainer and consultant based in the UK. My journey into coaching has been shaped by many years of experience working within mental health services. Over time, I realised that while addressing

illness is important, my real passion lies in prevention and helping people unlock their potential. That insight led me to establish The Mindful Narrative — a space dedicated to supporting individuals, groups and organisations to flourish through coaching and positive psychology.

Why I Moved from Mental Health to Coaching

Working in mental health taught me a great deal about resilience and the human capacity for growth. Yet I often found myself focusing on what was wrong, rather than on what was possible. I longed for a more proactive approach — one that emphasised strengths, aspirations and personal narratives. Coaching offered exactly that: a way to support people in crafting empowering stories about themselves and their futures.

The Mindful Narrative: A Space for Growth

At The Mindful Narrative, we believe every thought shapes your story. By becoming aware of those thoughts, you can consciously create a narrative that feels more fulfilling. Our services are designed to support that transformation:

• Coaching: Personalised one-to-one and group sessions focused on wellbeing, confidence, leadership and more.

  
  

• Training: Interactive workshops that help develop emotional intelligence, communication and personal growth.

  
  

• Consulting: Strategic support for organisations seeking to cultivate a positive and productive culture.

Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and positive psychology, ensuring clients receive the most effective support on their journey.

Embracing a Strengths-Based Approach

Moving into coaching allowed me to focus on what truly energises me: helping people harness their strengths and envision a brighter future. It’s about shifting from a problem-centred mindset to one that celebrates human capability and resilience. This strengths-based approach empowers individuals and also helps create environments where teams and organisations can thrive.
