Clients & Testimonials

Real people, real change, and work that has made a lasting difference.

From individuals looking to improve their health and wellbeing, to NHS Trusts and organisations investing in the wellbeing of their people, Sole2Soul has helped clients make positive, lasting changes through exercise, mental health and wellbeing.

Our work has taken us into some remarkable settings and partnerships. We’ve been invited to speak on BBC Breakfast, where Charlotte discussed the growing research and interest in exercise for mental health. Our work has also been recognised through awards, including London’s Sportivate Project of the Year 2016 and Coach of the Year 2016, which attracted more than 340 nominees. The award was presented at London’s O2 Arena, alongside a few familiar celebrity faces.

Working with the NHS

Sole2Soul’s work within NHS Trusts has received significant recognition. Our work was described as “significant and exceptional” by the Director of Nursing at Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust, who also said that Charlotte “set a new precedent to personal training with people who have serious mental health illness.”

After relocating to Devon, Sole2Soul initiated a successful community project with Devon Partnership Trust, creating significant and lasting benefits for numerous service users across the community and inpatient settings within the Trust.

Supporting organisations and their people

Private-sector organisations have also benefited from Sole2Soul’s approach to health and wellbeing. From workplace wellbeing sessions to mental health awareness presentations, we work with organisations to help their people feel more informed, active and supported. One client described our work as “really informative, a superb presentation which opened my eyes.”

Supporting young people through mental health and mindfulness

Sole2Soul also delivers mental health and mindfulness workshops in primary schools, helping young people develop greater awareness of their mental wellbeing and practical tools they can use in everyday life.

Our workshops are designed to be engaging, accessible and age-appropriate, introducing students to topics such as emotional wellbeing, managing stress, mindfulness and the positive role that movement and exercise can play in supporting mental health.

Charlotte has delivered these sessions in schools and continues to offer workshops for schools and educational settings as part of Sole2Soul’s wider approach to health and wellbeing. The aim is not simply to talk about mental health, but to give young people practical strategies and greater confidence in looking after themselves and recognising when they may need support.

Helping individuals thrive

Personal training is where Sole2Soul began, and individuals remain at the heart of what we do. Over the years, we’ve supported many people to become more active, build confidence and motivation, and take a more positive approach to their health and mental wellbeing through mindfulness coaching, group classes, 1:1 personal training as well as online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. 

But rather than simply telling you what we do, we’d rather let our clients tell you themselves. Take a look at some of the feedback below to hear what our clients have to say about working with Sole2Soul.

“I was an inpatient following a breakdown and was treated by the crisis team… the exercise sessions help me to deal with stress and anxiety, and overall improve my mental health. I get to meet new people, socialise and most of all laugh. I feel fitter and more motivated about everyday life.” - NHS service user.

“I’ve noticed that I’ve become less anxious and depressed when attending the Sole2Soul classes regularly. My friends, family and colleagues at work have also noticed a difference” - NHS service user.

“The group training helps me to deal with stress and anxiety, and overall improve my health. I get to socialise and most of all laugh. I feel fitter and more motivated about everyday life. Charlotte pushes me to my limits but makes it super fun at the same time” - Emma, 42 yrs, group training

”I’ve really enjoyed Sole2Soul’s group training. It is a great mixture of exercises and games which are incorporated into each session, it makes it more fun than other classes I’ve been to. The addition of mindfulness at the end leaves me feeling really positive and relaxed” - Beth, 28yrs, group training

“Having diabetes can be a struggle, especially when it comes to exercise, but since working with Sole2Soul I have found that my blood sugars have improved, having a positive impact on my health and fitness. Sole2Soul is unique as each session is different, focusing not only on your body but also your mind and what you achieve when you are positive. It’s a great way to de-stress from your busy lifestyle, and it’s as much fun as it is hard work!” - Caroline, 30yrs, private client
