Graduate Showcase: Valerie Viot – Together Against Cancer Charity

ByAmy Austin 7 Apr 202321 Nov 2024

Meet Valerie Viot – the Centre Manager for Together Against Cancer, a Leicester-based charity that empowers cancer patients and carers to take control of their own health.

Valerie qualified as a Wellbeing Coach from our course in 2021 and finds it extremely rewarding supporting clients at such a difficult time in their lives, helping the evolution in mindset and coping ability.

She has always been curious about health, wellness and human nature. Going through our Wellbeing Coach training course took her empathy and skills to the next level.

For example, one of Valerie’s clients had conflict in her family and she felt she was meant to be the rock for everyone else. By working with her across 6 sessions, she learnt to accept that she is doing enough, and cannot control her loved ones emotions or behaviour. As a result, she is now more at peace and no longer feels so stressed.

Please visit their website, Together Against Cancer, and see the wonderful work they are doing plus you can check out their upcoming events. Any donations are always welcome and make a huge difference to someone living with cancer – Click Here to donate online.
