I’m 45 and I’m an artist.

At the beginning of this year I was a different person to who I am now.

I was depressed and emotional, lacking purpose and a sense of worth. Silly things would set me off and I would argue with my boyfriend constantly, especially about his lack of commitment.

We've been together off and on for 6 years and had recently bought a house together. I'd given up my job as a web designer in London to move out of London to be with him and hopefully start a new career as an artist. He didn't care what I did as long as I paid my way.

After one of our heated arguments about commitment we split up. I was completely devastated. I decided to spend some of my savings and go travelling. I found Life Change Holidays through the internet and planned a 6 week tour of Thailand including a week's Counselling Retreat.

Emese’s Story

Emese’s Story

My name is Emese and I am an emergency response specialist in the humanitarian sector.

I still remember the day I decided to go to Thailand for a Life Coaching Holiday, and how it felt like such a leap into the dark as I’d never tried any coaching or counselling, or anything like this before.

A few years ago I had a crisis at work which rattled my confidence very badly. I was just a few months in to a new role which was essentially my dream job, when I was put into a very difficult managerial situation. I couldn't really turn it down. My boss failed to back me up, leaving me feeling totally undermined in my first managerial position. For months after I panicked, I thought of going freelance but was really just spinning in circles of self-doubt as a result of these events.

I remember arriving in Chiang Mai and feeling exhausted and crushed.

From the first day when I met Chrissy I felt like I could pour my heart out, talk about all the ups and downs and not feel afraid of sounding like I didn’t know my own mind.

When I looked at my personality profile, I saw myself very clearly; but the way that Alex explained it made me feel very comfortable that I was not being ‘put in a box’, I was just being supported in understanding myself better.

Christabel’s Story

Christabel’s Story

Hi, I'm Christabel.

I own a Michelin Star restaurant in Hong Kong and this is my story of how the most amazing, life changing thing can happen to people who least expect it.

This is my story of how I changed since I met Chrissy and "the Life Change Holiday team" a year ago.

For a long time I have been depressed, paranoid and totally lacking in self esteem. This was largely due to the death of my first child 10 years ago. I didn't really realise it though until my Counselling Retreat Holiday.

Paul’s Story

I'm Paul.

I've just returned back home in Holland.

The change in me has been profound. For the first time in my life I have a clear plan of where I want to be and how I'm going to get there.

This change is all down to a remarkable 12 day Counselling Retreat, the single most defining time of my life... and a remarkable person...

Michael’s Story

Michael’s Story

My name is Michael Homer. I am a Chartered Surveyor and Designer. This is my story.

It turned out to be a very unusual Valentines Day this year, and one that changed my life for ever.

For my valentine gift, taking in my birthday and Christmas for a few years to come, my wife handed me airplane tickets for a Life Change Holiday... some kind of Counselling Retreat (as far as I could work out) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. - "You're going to sort your head out once and for all, or you might as well not come back!"

She had booked me a holiday with something called The Life Change People. Over the last few years I have been through some major life changes; the arrival of our first child, my father dying of cancer, losing my job, moving house and becoming a house husband.

Despite being a happy and loving husband and father to the outside world, I privately became a negative, depressed, volatile and anxious man – apparently determined to destroy the love of my family and heading towards a major crisis.

This was, of course, oblivious to me as I wallowed in self pity and searched for the love that I was pushing away; angry with anyone who dared to contradict me.

Looking back now, I honestly believe that without my time in Chiang Mai I would be separated from my family.

And so, I set off to change my life.

Steven’s Story

Steven’s Story

My name is Steven. I'm an engineer, and this is my story.

Waking up one morning to the same thoughts that had plagued me for years I realized I had to do something.

I was stuck in a rut. It was slowly wearing me down to the point where I felt it could be irreversible.

Hesitantly, I went in search of direction to help find the person I used to be, the one with a spring in my step and a smile in my heart. Amazingly, I found myself on a Counselling Retreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand. READ FULL STORY
Stacy’s Story

Stacy’s Story

Hi, I'm Stacy.

Since my trip to the Chaing Mai meeting the lovely Chrissy, I have made many changes to my life.

My life was ok but I was massively unfulfilled and really wanted to review where things were going and sort out a load of baggage from the past.

I returned home feeling confident and happy armed with a Change Plan that I put together with Chrissy in the gardens at the lovely Puripunn Hotel. READ FULL STORY
