(Yes, real clients!)
‘If it wasn’t for our life coaching sessions, it could have taken me years to see the way forward. You’re a fantastic listener, very perceptive and an inspiration to me.’
‘It is no coincidence that after only a few months of Carole’s life coaching I found the confidence and self-belief to find a university teaching job (a field that is notoriously competitive). Carole’s advice, which was always practical and accessible, was offered in such a supportive and constructive way that it helped me realise my potential and ambitions (both large and small). I can’t thank Carole enough for all the help she provided and recommend her as a life coach without any reservation.’
‘I didn’t really have any identified goals – the coaching has instead helped me start to identify goals and in turn focus on them, and as a consequence I feel more engaged in my life. It’s also helped me not only remember but feel that I am a capable person.’
‘I enjoyed my trust in Carole. I also enjoyed the structured and positive nature of the coaching, and the organic nature of the coaching where we homed in on an issue that had arisen that was related to my goal but not my goal.’
‘I found the coaching very beneficial and the support is pushing me forward, thank you!’
‘The coaching helped me understand my thought processes and enabled me to begin to rid some anxieties. I definitely understand myself better and have been given the tools to manage my self-esteem issues.’
Lindsay’s story
‘I initially wanted life coaching to help me achieve my goal of creating a body of work to apply for an arts grant. However as the coaching continued I found that I really needed the coaching to help me find a way to structure and balance all the different aspects of my life.
‘I found Carole to be a very perceptive and grounding life coach. She was able to really hear the confusions and struggles I was having. She subsequently was able to translate solutions to me in a very practical way.
‘She also had a knack of getting me to look at the way I do things differently by encouraging me to try different ways of approaching tasks. She would do this in an organic way where I found myself coming up with solutions that I had never thought of before. One of my hurdles was how to juggle the different areas of my life and Carole has taught me how to prioritise and move between different tasks without becoming overwhelmed.
‘I found her mix of intuition and practical advice made me feel very secure. She also brought creativity to the tasks I was set, which made them interesting and fun to do. On a personal level, I felt she really understood who I am and would take my interests and outlooks into account when setting me tasks, or helping me to re-look at my habits and patterns that were holding me back.
‘Carole has a charming and non-judgmental manner, which instantly makes you feel secure in who you are, and therefore more willing to push yourself further out into the world. This is a wonderful and unique quality. Small steps became large leaps as I progressed and is how I see my life coaching journey with Carole Ray.’
