Testimonials/Case Studies

‘Carolyn has made me realise that I already know the answers; to achieve my goals, she has given me the tools to put things into practice. Thank you.’

‘I requested coaching due to a challenge I was facing in work. Carolyn helped me worked through this challenge in a supportive and motivating way. After each coaching session I felt motivated to go away and make a difference which I have no doubt helped me to be more confident as well as resolve the issues. Carolyn was kind and supportive and the experience has given me a new-found confidence – thank you.’

‘I started my coaching journey looking at a job change, Carolyn supported me during my application/interview process and also coached me during the transition to my new role.’

‘I cannot fault the coaching I have had from Carolyn. She was so patient and supportive and has really helped me to help myself; I am continuously putting what she has taught into practice and seeing continued progress. My goals were achieved, and the tools she has given me will help me to ensure this progress continues.’
