Welcome to The Gratitude Project — a space created to support students navigating academic stress, career uncertainty, and the growing pressure to “have it all figured out.” We believe that every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and that gratitude is one of the most powerful tools we have to shift our perspective, build resilience, and reclaim our confidence.
Founded on the principles of Positive Psychology, growth mindset, and strengths-based coaching, The Gratitude Project blends practical strategies with emotional support to help students move from overwhelmed to empowered. Whether you're facing burnout, a failed course, or are simply unsure about your next step, we’re here to help you reconnect with what’s strong in you — not just what’s wrong. At The Gratitude Project, we are working to address the gratitude desert that exists in workplaces. Using foundational principles from Positive Psychology, we work with organizations and leaders to create a strengths-based culture that promotes creativity, problem solving, flourishing and highly-functional collaborative relationship.
We Believe:
Every session is action-oriented. You’ll leave with tools, insights, and steps to take — and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not a lecture. It’s a collaboration — where we:
You can come as you are — anxious, uncertain, even defeated.
You won’t leave that way.
Our coaching sessions are modeled on key principles of positive psychology and address social and emotional competency, harnessing individual strengths and values, and identifying meaning and purpose in academic and career pursuits. By developing self-awareness and self-compassion, our sessions encourage confidence, resilience, perseverance and sustainable motivation

This saying guides my approach to life and work. If you are looking for problems you will find them. If you are looking for solutions you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to hate you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to love you will find them. I look for the potential in individuals and help them to see themselves through a lens of opportunity and hope.
I’m a coach, educator, and passionate advocate for mental well-being and student success. With years of experience supporting young adults in transition, I created The Gratitude Project to fill a gap I saw too often — a need for compassionate, forward-focused support that didn’t pathologize struggle, but honoured it as part of the learning journey.
My background in positive psychology, education, and experiential learning informs every session. I’ve worked with students from all walks of life — high achievers facing burnout, first-years struggling to stay afloat, and graduates lost in the “what now?” stage.
What they all have in common? A deep capacity for growth — and a need for someone to help them see it.
ONE-ON-ONE COACHING CLIENT, PERFORMANCE ENGINEER, SAMEH KHAN
In a system where support often felt prescriptive—implying a single failure meant settling for a lifetime of mediocrity—Clare’s message was clear: failure is a chance to re-imagine success on your terms. Where others saw limits, Clare saw misdirected potential and helped students turn setbacks into stepping stones. You were always a temporarily disaffected success story, and that attitude of hers has had a significant, long-lasting impact on my career. As an engineer, I can safely say that I owe a large part of my professional success, my affinity for mentorship, and my continued ability to laugh at the world while irreverently aiming higher, to Clare Tattersall.
Clare drags people into the light of a growth mentality, and tries her utmost to teach students how to re-engage with life, once they have been knocked down. She voraciously advocates for self-compassion, personal forgiveness, and teaches students to grow within themselves. I have not met a single person more responsible for my turnaround in academic success, and my ability to love myself despite my flaws, than Clare Tattersall.
I just wanted to thank you all for the help and guidance you have given me over the past five years, especially over the past two years. You helped me through a very rough patch in my life and pushed me to seek the help I needed. Not only have you helped me see the light at the end of the proverbial engineering tunnel, I am in such better control of my anxiety and much happier. I truly would not be where I am today without your support.
Clare’s creativity, energy and critical thinking are proven assets she brings to her leadership of both teams and communities she serves. She has exceptional interpersonal skills and builds community first to ensure the team is collegial and united in their efforts. A fantastic leader and colleague!
