Mirror Coaching is run by Dr Colin Clerkin, a Coaching and Clinical Psychologist with many years' experience of helping people make the changes in their lives that take them to where they want to be.
Colin says: "I have a simple philosophy when I work with you: my role is to help you to create a clear vision of what that image in the mirror, the "fulfilled you", looks like, because once you can be clear about what that looks, sounds and feels like, achieving it then comes within your grasp".
Bio
Colin has been involved in helping people tackle challenges in their lives for almost 20 years, initially as a clinical psychologist and, over the past three years, as a coach too, working with individuals, small business owners and parents. He spent 14 years in the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK before branching out on his own in 2004 and establishing a thriving private practice in the historic city of Chester, in the North West of England.
Before psychology, Colin spent five years in the advertising industry in Dublin but realised it wasn’t the career choice for him. He then travelled around North America for two years, where, amongst other things, he spent time hiking in Yosemite and bartending in Manhattan. His bartending experiences re-ignited his interest in people (well, they were New Yorkers!), and so he moved to Wales to study psychology, where he gained an understanding of what works in helping people make the key changes in their behaviour that can impact positively on their lives.
Colin Clerkin
After gaining his doctorate, Colin established himself as a popular member of the psychology community across North Wales, developing his skills and expertise working with a wide range of client groups, keeping his knowledge current through regular attendance at conferences and training courses. He has also been involved in teaching and running workshops, sharing his knowledge with fellow professionals and client groups alike.
Over the past few years, Colin has faced some new challenges head-on, having been diagnosed with two entirely different cancers since 2007. He has successfully come through treatment, as positive as ever, and his response to the experience has inspired many. Keen to contribute to the battle to beat cancer, he created the 365challenge for Cancer Research UK, which has raised tens of thousands of pounds for the charity. Throughout his treatment, Colin maintained his sense of humour and fitness, running through chemotherapy whenever he could. Now, with this experience behind him, he is keen to offer his support by coaching cancer survivors.
Colin enjoys running, hiking, encouraging others to be amazing, and walking his dog, Susie, a big soft Labrador. | Follow Us!
