Carolyn's approach is grounded in her experience that people are dynamic, ever unfolding, impacted by the past, influenced by their current circumstances and often seeking different futures. Our ability to move forward is often impeded by assumptions and patterns of behaviour adopted in the past that no longer serve us. Our ability to see and own our strengths and values and make changes in our present habits and behaviours can help bring insight and energy to create new internal and external patterns of living. Approach: Carolyn coaches leaders and teams across corporate, public and third sector organisations, and people looking for support develop confidence in their authentic selves to make changes in their life and work. As well as leadership coaching, she offers an integrated practice which starts from a coaching space but that also, if needed, draws on expertise and insights from her training and experience as a therapist. Carolyn is trained in Personal Consultancy - a framework combining deep listening, with rebalancing, and generating new ways forward. There is also a focus on building support through work to strengthen relationships and networks.
