I’m Colette, founder of Explore Your Life Story, Narrative Specialist and Art Therapist (M.A.).
For me, meaningful change rarely begins with advice. It begins with being truly listened to.
I offer reflective one-to-one conversations for individuals and professionals who want to understand themselves, their work or a particular situation more deeply. My approach is narrative-informed, process-oriented and shaped by attentive listening, thoughtful questions and creative reflection. Depending on the person and the situation, writing, photography or art-based methods may become part of the process – but they are never the goal. They are simply different ways of seeing.
Before becoming an art therapist, I worked for many years in tourism and lived in several countries, experiences that continue to shape my curiosity for people, cultures and life stories.
Outside my work, you’ll often find me walking in nature with my camera, creating small pieces of nature art or writing. These quiet moments inspire much of what I bring into my work: presence, curiosity and an appreciation for everyday beauty.
