How can coaching benefit me?
Habits we're not aware of can have effects we are also not aware of. Some habits are useful, necessary and positive, others are not.
Some patterns of thinking may have been useful to us at one time (perhaps when we were growing up) but now they can make us feel exhausted and unhappy and we want to change them.
Coaching may be new to you but it has an excellent track record.
You can look at the latest research on the effectiveness of different types of coaching at the Harvard Medical School Institute of Coaching.
Some of the issues I have coached my clients on are:
- Developing a greater ability to communicate and listen
- Improving relationships
- Changing career or progressing their career/business
- Resolving conflict
- Reducing overwhelm
- Understanding their strengths and weaknesses
- Increasing productivity
- Reducing stress
- Reducing anxiety
- Boosting self-esteem
Caroline allowed me to move from a state of frustration and confusion to one of clarity and power… From growing my confidence in my career choices through prompting me to take the right steps to create the life I want career wise, the transformation she guided me through has been colossal… Working with her has undoubtedly been a great life investment.

I was coached by Caroline over a six month period, in my role as headteacher. The sessions really helped me in further articulating my vision, leading my team and developing my staff. Caroline was always professional, enthusiastic and asked both challenging and supportive coaching questions. I do recommend her to any other school leaders.

Working with Caroline was very helpful and enabled me to make the progress I need to achieve. Caroline had a good understanding of what I wanted and got me to think about what I was doing in a realistic and timely manner … She is very easy to talk to about any aspects of my career and personal life.
Carol, Chester
From the start, Caroline built a great rapport with me and made me feel at ease… Caroline is able to motivate and encourage you through her use of effective questioning. This worked particularly well with me personally as I could see that Caroline was genuinely committed to supporting me to achieve my goals and in return I wanted to discuss my successes at our next sessions, so I was determined to make progress!

Raquel, Slough
I found the sessions extremely valuable and have been impressed with Caroline’s ability to explore not only what my goals are but also the precise actions I self-generated to achieve them.
Matt, West Country
Caroline has helped me realise what I need to do to deal with combining family and career. She has given me confidence to come up with fresh ideas about to how to push forward with projects whilst not impacting on my family and academic commitments.
Sandra, Blackheath, London
Caroline is a very personable, friendly and charming lady who is also a coach who listens very well. Her coaching and insight helped me move forward and do so faster than had I been taking action alone. I am grateful for her support, encouragement and generosity.
