Counselling and Coaching for Young People and Adults

I offer counselling and coaching for young people (9–25 years) and adults, to build the capacity to meet life as it is while staying connected to what matters to them. The work is collaborative and tailored, grounded in the belief that people already have strengths that can be developed and supported.

My approach is person-centred, drawing on Japanese Psychology (Morita Therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and evidence-based behaviour change. Together, we focus on strengthening emotional and thinking skills, increasing steadiness under stress, and gently reconnecting with values, direction, and priorities in everyday life.

Sessions are person-centred and practical, creating space to understand what’s going on while also supporting growth and resilience over time. Where helpful, we may also explore how sleep, movement, breathing, and daily routines influence mood, attention, and wellbeing.

Life can be challenging and unpredictable. With the right support, it’s possible to build the capacity to live with more clarity, connection, and meaning.

  • 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

  • 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.

    - Sue

  • What I loved most about our catch-ups, 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

  • 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.

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