After only 4 sessions with Carly, I feel more self-aware and empowered than I have done my whole life. Her compassionate and yet challenging approach makes me look forward to every session and I honestly feel it has been transformational. Everybody needs Carly in their life!

This experience was life changing for me! I have years of therapy behind me but I've always wanted to try coaching. Combining the coaching with the journaling was a whole different level, a whole new level of magic.
I rediscovered myself, I couldn't believe how much I changed in the course of a month, it was a massive step for me. I learned so much about myself, about who I am becoming, about what I truly want - bringing it to the surface. I rediscovered little pleasures that make me happy and were part of me before. It was like seeing an old friend and hearing 'I never left you, I was always there'. Thank you Carly for helping me to start this new journey.

I will be forever grateful for my 1:1 coaching journey with Carly. The experience allowed me to gain a fresh perspective, re-align with my personal values and create a new and exciting future vision for myself. The journal prompts were an invitation to create my own self-empowering road map to realising my goals and to recognise any self-limiting behaviours that may appear along the way. Carly held a space that allowed me to share openly & authentically and her presence within every session could be felt. The overall experience has equipped me with new ways to navigate my life, a new sense of self-confidence and has been a wonderful reminder to celebrate my achievements & my creativity every step of the way.

If you have any doubts about life coaching DON’T! It was one of the best things I have ever done & Carly was nothing short of amazing. Going into my first session, I was emotional, I cried (a lot), I felt useless, I was at an all-time low. Carly listened and not in that throwaway “how are you” listen, she really HEARD me! She prompted me, she helped me remember who I was, what I wanted in life and what I loved, she questioned me, she was HONEST, she was the encouragement I didn’t know I needed. She helped me back to the mindset I needed to have to achieve my goals. It was freeing, I could be open without any judgement. Going into of my ‘last’ session with Carly, I was giddy as I had somehow managed to reach the goals I had spoken about in my first session and I was so excited to tell Carly that with her guidance I f**king did it!!
She’s the best, our time together was invaluable and I hope to work with Carly again!

I came to Carly at the height of the pandemic. I was doing a lot of soul searching at that time and had just decided to take my healing journey to the next level. I reached out to Carly for a safe space, and the support to work through unresolved past trauma. If it wasn't for our work together, I don't know if I would have ever been able to reach the level of healing I'm at right now. It feels amazing, and I am forever grateful!
- Dominique, Physical Therapist & Coach
My first call with Carly was so relaxed (honestly it was like speaking to a friend) and to have someone understand what I was going through (and actually listen to you). I have built more confidence and learnt how to challenge my negative thoughts. She has provided me with great tips on how to move forward in my life and given me different resources that I can return to. Journaling has been a great tool, Carly is able to give me personalised prompts to help guide me through things I am currently experiencing and to acknowledge some emotions or thoughts I could be suppressing. She has provided me with good incite into moving at your own pace and understanding that life is not a race! Creativity has also been a big part for me, Carly has educated me to be more creative in different ways and shown me ways this can help free my mind.
It has been an eye opening experience for me, as Carly has really encouraged me and brought out the self belief within myself. It has been a lovely experience working with her, I am so grateful I discovered her, met her and hope to keep this up in the future. A huge THANK YOU to Carly!

I went through a coaching journey with Carly and she held a really safe space for me to open up. She was easy to talk to, I always felt heard and never felt judged. Carly allowed me space to reflect on my present situation, and had a solution-focused approach, always looking to move me forward. With Carly’s support and guidance, I was able to start taking steps towards my intention of becoming more creative and mindful.
- Nell, Wellbeing Coach
My time working with Carly has been life-changing. I started my first session feeling so small and in a relatively short amount of time, I went through a change…major GROWTH. By using different prompts to write in my journal, we were able to explore different aspects of my life in a happy, healthy way. Carly gave me the space to explore my needs. She listened to what I needed and guided me into a place of not only feeling but knowing that I am f**king badass! As the weeks went on, I stopped thinking I was showing up for Carly and instead knew that each week I was showing up for myself because that is what I deserve.
Thank you Carly 🤍
- Chloé, Teacher
My coaching journey with Carly has been incredibly eye-opening & has provided me with the tools and confidence to believe in my future. The combination of journal prompts and talking sessions allowed me to open up in a way that felt safe & comfortable. Carly always left room for me to explore & guide the sessions, making me feel comfortable to open up in a way I haven’t before. It surprised me every week what came up in our discussions & Carly always knew exactly what questions would allow me to unlock the solutions myself. I am so grateful to Carly for helping me start to overcome the overwhelm I was feeling & delve into who I want to become going forward.
- Gracie, Librarian
Working with Carly came at a perfect time for me. I had been in a 7-month lock-down practically re-creating myself and had so many loose ends that I didn’t know what or how to deal with. Working with Carly helped me to get focused on what mattered most to me, reflect on where I was coming from, and gain clarity on where I was going. She asked me insightful questions during our calls that helped me to see things about me and my situation that I could not see before. The journal prompts were also very helpful – even if some were challenging! Carly helped me to empower myself to move forward. I am still reaping the benefit of our work together even after our time has ended (or paused - however you want to view it). I highly recommend Carly to anyone new at receiving coaching or to those like me who are seasoned coaching and therapy users/receivers

Working with Carly gave me clarity and insight. She made me feel heard, seen and welcome. Carly gave me tangible tips on how to move through my blocks and challenges, and they really worked. I am so grateful for the time I have had with Carly. She is a great coach
- Jessica, Entrepreneur
My 1:1 with Carly was very valuable and gave me a very clear idea of where I was feeling stuck. I felt comfortable with being open to her and she helped to guide me through my mental barriers by asking appropriate questions. The journal prompts that she curated have given me a great deal to think about and it is a great tool to self-navigate to get past those mental barriers. I would definitely recommend working with Carly!
