David Cotterill’s Mentoring for Life: The place where life changes from the inside-out

A fulfilled and contented life means finding purpose, enjoying great relationships in love, in work and in developing deeper spiritual connections. All these are fundamental to our wellbeing.

I am a seasoned professional psychotherapist and life coach who has used the inside-out understanding to navigate through many changes in all these aspects of life and now I offer my experience to help people throughout the world.

  • Understanding Love Relationships from the Inside-out

    I have experienced first hand love relationship breakups, going through that fear that I will never get over the pain, let alone the financial implications. So I am ahead of you if you are going into the trauma of breakup. I can help you to understand how to cope with the emotions, the misunderstandings, loneliness and isolation without judgment. I can helps you with planning you, next move financial and practical - where you will live, what happens with the kids, and what will other people think? There is so much to consider and when you are emotionally all over the place, it will be good to have someone there who understands. This will be a confidential rmentoring plan based on trust wibh the aim of briging an element of peace for you in uncertain times.

  • Understanding Work Relationships from the Inside-out

    During my fifty years in work I experienced great relationships and others that were so disasterous that it seemed no matter what I did I just couldn’t connect and so I had to leave a job I loved. If you are in that situation where you thnk youi need to change career becasue of your boss please let me know and we can explore ways to better understand what is going on. I have helped many cients save tim e and expense by staying put when a bully-boss is making their life hell. Insecure people can do that but why should their insecurity ruin your career? Let’s look at the options before you leap to conclusions and if you need to make the move, then we can work through the options together before you make the move.

  • Understanding Spiritual Relationships from the Inside-out

    In 1966 I discovered the Beatles and my spiritual search began. Through TM and meditation, Pink Floyd and Hendrix I experienced expanded consciousness without ever taking drugs. In 1988 I had what is called an epiphany and God showe up in a very persenal way, starting a series of events in life that to this day I cannot explain. Following what I called my “Damascus Road” experience I became involved in organised church, experiencing miracles and events which to this day astound me. When I became a hypnotherapist I began to follow alternative spirituality and a different type of enlightenment. I’ve written a book about this experiences. I provide non-judgmental spiritual mentoring if you ares seeking your truth.

  • David's Inside-out Experience

    In 2020 when I was going through the break up of my second marriage I had developed bowel cancer. I didn’t know this at the time, I just put my pain down to emotions and just got on with life because I’ve learned t.at “this too shall pass.” During the 2021 lockdown I travelled to see my family in Scotland, coping best I could with pain and tiredness - life had to go on. The emergency operation that followed was a life or death situation. No time for regrets it had to be done and I had to have some bowel removed and so now I have a colostomy, a stoma which keeps me alive. No regrets but I am able to offer emotional and practical support to clients who are going through the personal drama of cancer whilst trying to hold together relationships and work.

  • A Revelation is the guide to living inside-out

    Whether it is the result of an ancient spiritual deception or a psychological misunderstanding, humanity is in trouble and it’s not looking good for our future. The way we use our minds has caused untold damage through personal anxiety, national disruption, and the threat of global annihilation.

    This book reveals how we innocently misuse our thinking to create emotional and behavioural instability and how to interrupt dysfunctional patterns and experience a higher quality of thought.

    We explore how present-day spiritually based psychology is re-aligning with ancient biblical principles, providing an opportunity for everyone to participate in change from the inside-out.

  • Networking from the Inside-out

    What if we could explore a completely different type of networking for business or for connecting to people who share our vision and mission in lfe. The Inside-out understanding shows us that all humans see the world differently from our own perspective which we believe to be the right way and we seldom give others th true opportunity they deserve to show us what heir reality looks, sounds and feels like.

    So when we engage in deep listening we find that we connect with the true essence of the other person, deeper than the ego and deeper than any agenda that might be on the table.

    Insights follow when we are less stressed by the need to perform or present a ‘false’ needy front.

Why Mentoring and how is this different from coaching?

In the realm of guidance, the distinction between mentoring and coaching lies in the mentor's firsthand experience. Unlike coaching, where the focus is often on skill development and goal attainment, mentoring involves a guide who has traversed the very challenges their clients face. As the author of "An Inside-Out Revelation" and the founding psychotherapist at "Mentoring for Life," I bring a wealth of personal experience to the table. My mentoring extends to various facets of life, including navigating career transitions, addressing physical and mental health struggles, and guiding individuals through the complexities of love relationship breakdowns and recovery. Drawing from my own journey, I offer insights, empathy, and practical strategies to those seeking assistance. This dynamic of shared experience creates a unique bond between mentor and mentee, fostering a profound understanding that goes beyond theoretical knowledge. In essence, my mentoring approach is rooted in a genuine connection forged through having walked the path of transformation and recovery.
