Introducing Country Gate, mentoring for grief, loss and transition
Get accessible and personalized support, in-person or from the comfort of your home.
“If you are looking for a mentor who sees your strengths not just your struggles, this is the place for you. “
I offer individual coaching, facilitate creative group sessions and devise resources which help people navigate life changes. I work mainly - but not exclusively - with teenagers preparing for A level exams and university and clients of all ages experiencing grief and loss.
I’m Cally Smart, the women behind Country Gate, professional coach and teacher, volunteer counsellor, enthusiastic connector of people within and beyond my community, keen gardener and chief cheerleader of family and friends.
Country Gate is a professional, accredited, coaching and mentoring service, blending the mood-boosting benefits of time spent in nature with the hopefulness and future focus of Solution-focused Brief Therapy.
Relax, reflect and move forward
All coaching sessions focus on helping you uncover what’s working, amplify your strengths and gently move towards the life you want to lead, one step at a time.
Just one meeting can be enough to change your perspective or shift momentum. That’s the strength of the solution-focused approach.
You do not need to book a block of sessions. You choose when and how often we meet.
In-person and remote options
We usually meet in mutually convenient spaces in and around Bath and Bradford on Avon. If you have a favourite spot, I’ll meet you there.
Prefer a home visit? I can do that too.
Video or telephone appointments are also possible.
