Charley is the founder of the Heart-Centred Living Project, a multi-disciplinary offering designed to support self-connection and harmony through psychological, somatic, and experiential integration.

She facilitates integration circles, international peer support groups, and talks, both online and in person at retreats and events. Within her group work, Charley holds a non-judgemental, safe, and open space where individuals can step out of pressure, come up for air, and settle into being themselves. This environment supports honest expression, reflection, and the gradual development of internal stability and self-trust.

She also provides 1:1 professional programming in fitness that integrates both psyche and soma as mirrored processes, taking into account the individual’s mental, genetic, environmental, psychological, and physiological constitution. The aim is to create a structured yet adaptable programme that is sustainable, maintainable, and aligned with long-term behavioural change, rather than short-term outcomes.

Charley’s work is grounded in the principle of embodying truth — meeting yourself where you are, and holding space for others to do the same. This is approached not as an ideal or fixed state, but as an ongoing process of returning to direct experience, reducing avoidance and external conditioning, and aligning internal awareness with lived action.

Charley’s personal healing journey, alongside her experience across fitness, mental health, and group facilitation spaces, informs her approach. Her work brings together multiple disciplines into a cohesive and grounded practice that supports both inner and outer change.

She is currently studying at postgraduate level in the fields of consciousness and the relationship, mirroring, and integration between psyche and soma with continued work to pursue doctorate research to expand her offering in helping others.

She works for and alongside several UK and international organisations, receiving ongoing training in peer support, facilitation, and safeguarding within the fields of mental health, spiritual crisis, transitional periods, post-trauma, and identity shifts.

Charley’s work centres on integration as a process of restructuring internal patterns following periods of change, disruption, or insight — including identity shifts, post-trauma adaptation, and psychological or spiritual awakening. This includes supporting the transition from previous behavioural and identity frameworks (“old patterns”) toward more adaptive, stable, and aligned ways of living (“new patterns”).

A core component of this work involves developing awareness of, and relationship to, the body’s felt sense alongside cognitive and emotional processes. This includes learning to access internal signals, while also developing the capacity to interpret, regulate, and respond to them within a grounded and structured framework.

The focus is on integration: allowing internal signals to be accessed without becoming overwhelming, while ensuring they are held within a framework that supports clarity, stability, and appropriate action.

A key part of this process is supporting individuals to develop trust in their own internal experience — moving away from reliance on external or conditioned authority, and towards a more direct, balanced relationship with their cognitive, emotional, and physiological signals as valid sources of guidance.
