About Us

Se-la-vie in a nutshell



Our history


Development of the Se-la-vie project first began in 2003

We piloted at University College London Hospital in 2004
Our '1st generation' solution achieved 70% success rates

We offered our 'second generation' solution to companies
as a staff support programme under the Re-so-lute brand

In 2008 we released the 'third generation' of our solution
for private individuals who would like extra support

We're now offering it on the Internet for the first time
so you can use it from the comfort of your own home


Our values


We chose the name Se-la-vie mainly as an expression of vivacity, and also to recognise the
ambivilance of making progress: "It was the best of times, it was the the worst of times" *

We're a 'discussion' brand — we like to connect and empathise

"Vive la difference" - we thrive on diversity

Se-la-vie symbolises vivacity!

"The best of times" — life is fantastic

"The worst of times" — life is sometimes challenging

Simplicity and effectiveness - don't sweat the small stuff!

Rediscover Vitality! - it's rewards are beauty and fitness

"La vie continue" - life goes on, things pass, we learn from them

Compassion — an online solution that's low tech, and high touch

These nine 'value mosaics' are the driving culture of our organisation.

* This was the opening line of Charles Dickens' novel "A Tale of Two Cities"
