About Us
CoachTrain UK (formerly The Coaching & Training Company) was founded in 2010 and at that time concentrated mainly in the area of personal coaching, with the occasional workshop as and when requested. These workshops proved to be so popular that soon I found myself facilitating them more and more frequently. Since the pandemic, however, my work has once again taken on a more person centred style where I do more one-to-one or couple coaching and counselling.
I have a passion for effective communication, which is pivotal in all personal development and management skills incorporating NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) as well as other models and theories as appropriate to you or your organisation.
Yvonne Snowdon

I am a Master NLP Practitioner and EFT Practitioner. I hold a Certificate in Education, Counselling and Mental Health Awareness and have provided literacy consultancy in the Skills for Life sector. I have in excess of twenty years training experience in private and public sectors, including education, engineering, banking, construction, aviation and scuba diving. I have a current DBS certificate and am happy to work with young or vulnerable clients.
My expertise
…is in Personal Development and Relationship Coaching – that is all relationships, including those with people at work – colleagues and clients, at home – be it partners, family or friends, and perhaps most importantly, yourself! Having a relationship with yourself that works, is important to your health and well-being and provides the foundation for all that you want to achieve in life.
I also have a keen interest in ensuring people find the most suitable jobs in an organisation where they will fit and flourish. I therefore offer Suitability Profiling which increases your awareness of the benefits and pitfalls of different types of organisation as well as the types of job where you are most likely to succeed and prosper.
“Seeing clients succeed beyond their own wildest expectations always gives me the greatest satisfaction.”

Wildlife Photography by Bret Charman
Bret has kindly consented to the use of his very beautiful wildlife pictures on my website for which I’d like to thank him very sincerely. I think he is extremely talented and he’s recently won an award! Bret says “Wildlife photography is something I never really planned to do, it just happened, but I do love what I do and there is no better feeling than being at one with nature. It takes a lot of patience, sometimes it takes me days to get a single image but it is worth every minute.” View more of his work on his website: http://www.bretcharmanphotography.com/
