About me
Welcome.
I’m a certified Positive Psychology Coach and a member of the ICF (International Coaching Federation), the AC (Association for Coaching), and the Positive Psychology Guild (PPG). I specialise in working with mid to senior-level professionals and executives during key career transitions - whether stepping into leadership, navigating organisational change, or moving forward after redundancy or dismissal.
My coaching is grounded in positive psychology and tailored to support clarity, resilience, and purposeful action. I work both one-to-one with individuals and in collaboration with organisations to support leadership development and career transition programmes.
I accept corporate sponsorship and funding, and am experienced in working within organisational frameworks to align individual growth with business goals.
If you're navigating change - personally or within your organisation - and are looking for focused, evidence-based coaching, I’d be happy to talk. Get in touch to explore how we can work together.

What my Clients are saying!
Nadia BALHAM recommends Orla Cahill Transformational Coach and Expert CV Writer.
Over lunch one day I complained to Orla that I felt stuck in a rut with my freelance career. I'd been working steadily but doing the same bits and pieces for years and was ready for a new challenge, but was too tired/lazy/nervous to actually do anything about it.
She gave me the kick up the **** I needed to freshen up my CV, finally finish my website (after three years!) and to simply make a few calls. It worked. I am spending most of this summer doing the job of my dreams in Ibiza!
Thank you Orla, you absolute wonder woman you, for being the most relentlessly positive person I know.
Agata STREATHAM recommends Orla Cahill Transformational Coach and Expert CV Writer.
I’ve been on a 9-year maternity leave… My CV was older than my child. I didn’t want to go back to what I was doing before. I had no clue what I’m looking for. I was embarrassed about the fact I cannot figure out all of the above just by myself. I guess that was actually the reason I stayed out of work for so long. Here is a little advise – if you’re like me don’t think twice and accept the fact there is a specialist in this world for every task. Orla can help you identify your destination and help you get on track to reach that final station of your journey. You will learn a lot about yourself during the sessions and tasks which I’ve found very interesting. Bonus – she is a very nice person and she does care! PS – I am working full time. Before I met Orla, I didn’t even know such a position existed.
Anne MITCHAM recommends Orla Cahill Transformational Coach and Expert CV Writer.
How can I find the words to do justice to working with Orla. It's been totally life-changing. I've been to many therapists /life coach's over the years, and Orla has helped me in 8 sessions more than anyone before. She has this amazing ability to support you gently while challenging you out of your comfort zone. It's like having a non-judgemental mum on the sideline as your cheerleader.
I've always wanted to pursue a career in music, and everyone one else has said you've left that to late but not Orla she has me started on my journey. I don't know where it could end up, but I'm going to enjoy the ride. That's the main thing for me right now.
Orla has helped me to see the positive aspects of the life I have, by helping me achieve a better life-work balance.
I can recommend her also for confidence coaching, which for me was a huge part of overcoming my fears. She also doesn't encourage you to keep buying more sessions she knows when her work is done while other therapists will keep you going for years!!! I can't recommend Orla more highly. If you're stuck in a rut and on the fence about going for sessions just book one I guarantee you won't regret it.
It's time for you to start living the life you deserve and getting help for this is the best way forward.
Thank you Orla so much for all your kind words and help.
I'm also happy to email or talk to anyone to give a spoken reference.
