Charley Gavigan

After more than 30 years working within the charitable sector in Glasgow, London & NYC supporting the recovery of children, young people and adults fleeing violence, trafficking, abuse, trauma, homelessness and/or addiction, Charley Gavigan retrained as a Professional Certified Coach and Co-founded Brave Your Day. There she offers affordable accredited therapeutic counselling and coaching, to people struggling to sustain their mental wellbeing.

In addition to her counselling work, Charley is also very interested in alternative economies and has set up organisations such as Trade School Glasgow, a learning space based on barter, Wee Enterprizers, kitchen table business creation with disabled people and more recently East End Glasgow Soup, a neighbourhood crowdfunding public dinner where local people pitch ideas that benefit their community.

Charley is keen to support anyone who wants to brave more and fear less.
