Counselling and Coaching for Young People and Adults

What sessions look like

Sessions offer a safe space to talk about what's going on, and I always offer something practical to experiment with between sessions. The early sessions are about understanding: what's going on, what it feels like from the inside, and what matters to you. From there we develop strategies that fit you — for meeting challenges, and for getting on the path to living a full life.

Carly supports young people with:

  • Confidence and self-belief

  • Friendship and social challenges

  • Focus and attention

  • School and exam pressure

  • Performance anxiety (sport, academic, the arts)

  • Big emotions — anger, worry, self-doubt

  • Motivation and direction

  • What you have implemented so far has been astronomical and the change in my child is phenomenal

  • Working with Carly was truely an invaluable experience. I had finally felt a sense of clarity and insight to the life I had been so eager to lead, after years of exploring a range of different approaches that unfortunately didn’t work for me. Carly’s personable and whole hearted approach was hugely affective. She has gifted me with knowledge and tools to better my life.

  • You have helped me work through some of my excess baggage and you have allowed me to have a voice. I am so much better now that I have started to be coached by you.

    - Bronwyn

  • What I loved most about our sessions, were the practical tools Carly was able to offer to almost any challenge I threw her. Each session I walked away with something I could implement. I found Carly to be particularly skilled at knowing what to offer to what situation.

    - Fiona

  • I feel you have helped me to make some great decisions and the strategies you have given me have really improved my quality of life in a short timeframe.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.
