About me

Hi, I’m Caroline, Personal Development  and Midlife Coach, Master NLP Coach, and 'mind/body’ Neuro-somatic focused Coach.  

I work with small business owners and professionals facing personal or professional challenges and direction 'haze' in their Mid-life. I help you to work though your stress and anxieties,  indecision or frustrations so you identify and overcome life & business problems, reset your professional focus and shift your mindset to feel happier, healthier, more fulfilled and successful.

My coaching removes the "don't know where I am", to give clarity and help you find identify, understand what holds you back and what needs to change to have a better life. Whether your personal life, work, business, or self development.  

You might feel anxiety and stress by aspects of your business,  increased work load or family relationships and commitments.   Perhaps you lack energy, want to change bad habits or gain confidence. These all affect your state of mind and wellbeing and with my help you can make change happen quickly.

Change your life by taking personal control of it.  Through my blend of neuroscience, psychology and somatic coaching we tackle what's causing your issues and overwhelm and tap into the powerful relationship your brain has with your body to think, feel and behave differently. 

Break through your negative barriers, beliefs, emotions and fears because they stop you achieving your dreams . 

We often shy away from helping ourselves. We can struggle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, not enough-ness and fear. Negative emotions and anxieties caste shadows over us, our relationships, careers, and wellbeing. I have personally experienced this and it profoundly affected me physically and mentally even creating physical impairment as a child. I know it's debilitating  but you don't have to live with it.  Understanding how the body reacts to how you think, you will find solutions and take more ownership of your life. It can be done, and I am here to help you do just that.  Call or email me for a free initial chat.

Additionally, I spent over 25 years in the ‘people and development’ business as an HR Chartered professional, working with organisations supporting, training, and developing others before I moved into coaching.

This was my journey where I consciously chose to retrain and reshape my life through coaching and practitioner qualifications,  various accreditations and experience.  I've learned so much and now I use that to help others achieve what they want.

Where I am today ideally places me to help you find the direction you want, the goals you wish to achieve and the life and outcomes you want for yourself and your wellbeing.  If you are looking for a fresher approach, contact me. 

How I work 

I use a fusion coaching approach with tools and techniques from different coaching styles including NLP, CBT, somatic and neuro coaching that enable you to create positive shifts in your life. We all think, feel and behave in a unique way so I use a tailored, flexible approach. And if a particular style doesn’t suit you, I have many more tools we can use within a process framework.  I work with the person, not just the issue, because life isn’t black or white. With my support, you embark on a purposeful journey of self discovery, insight and choice to get results from the first session. 

Although I can work with anyone wanting my help...more specifically

·         I coach 'midlife business owners and professionals personally and professionally and within organisations.  Leaders and HR professionals needing support, direction and personal growth.  With 30 years experience within organisations as an HR professional and building and managing my own businesses I've been there, understand and can relate.

·         Organisations wanting 'Success through People' using my 'PSF Framework' to become effective, successful, and productive and for their mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. 

.         Motorcyclists (Bikers) in need of mental support for stress and anxiety  from 'one biker to another!'

Sessions are confidential, reasonably priced and governed by the ethical standards of the industry bodies. I will support and challenge you in your thinking and guide you.  You can trust that I'll offer perspective, honesty, encouragement and support every step of the way to help you achieve your personal and professional goals.

Testimonials 

"The sessions have been invaluable. I can see a massive change in myself my thoughts are clearer and more positive.  I have direction and space in my head to think now and am more responsive to others and to situations rather than being reactive. My emotions are more balanced.  Others have also noticed a shift in me. I used to have so much chaos and noise in my head I couldn’t function, and it had affected me very negatively with relationships, and in worklife. I now have a much better outlook on life and in my drive to manage my business more effectively."

"I have found this a powerful positive experience. I started the coaching for personal reasons, mostly to clear my head of noise and free myself from negativity.  However, this has changed my life in additional ways that  I hadn’t appreciated would happen.  It has also benefitted my business hugely and consequently I made the decision to put the investment through the business because of the direct impact it has had upon it. The effects have been felt not only by myself but those around me in the business.  We are now in a much better stronger position to move forwards, than just a few short months ago."

"The coaching was really well structured and perfectly tailored to my personal situation. Each session gave me new lessons, science-backed techniques and ways of re-looking at situations to take into my daily practice. I love the fact that it didn't seem to matter "how I'd got myself into that state" but remained forward-focused and concentrated on dealing with the now and the future, in a really practical and understandable way." 

“I found Caroline extremely approachable and professional, challenging my thoughts and encouraging when facing past negative experience, changing them into positives. I found it also very beneficial visualising the future and taking practical steps to start the process of change. Thank you for your support.”

“ I always get so much from talking with Caroline. Different ways of looking at what I’m going through and how to move forwards from it”

“Everything was going through my head at 100 miles per hour. A family member recommended I speak to Caroline and it was the best thing I ever did. I worked through issues and Caroline kept me positive and motivated and helped me stay focused.”

How we begin

Coaching relies on a relationship based on trust and chemistry so our initial conversation is important and as much to get to know each other better as it is to understand your needs. 

All you need is curiosity, a little motivation and to keep an open mind.
