I went to Carly not because I was struggling, but because I was already in a good place, personally and in business and wanted someone who genuinely got the reality of being all the things at once: a mum, a partner, a boss, a cleaner, a cook, and a big dreamer.

Carly was all of that and more.

Over six weeks, our conversations covered everything from business and goals to family, relationships, and the quiet mental load that comes with holding it all together. Carly has an incredible ability to listen deeply, reflect honestly, and gently shift your perspective without ever making you feel like you need fixing. She reminded me how far I’ve come, how much I’ve already achieved, and most importantly how genuinely happy I am right now.

What surprised me most was the realisation that I’ve already reached the goals I set for myself the year before. Carly helped me see that I already have everything I need, even when the weight of responsibility can make it hard to feel that. She was honest, down to earth, and some how cheering me on loudly from my corner before we’d even properly met.

Carly was the person I didn’t know I needed. She’s perfect for anyone who isn’t necessarily unhappy or lost, but feels the weight of it all, someone who needs space to talk, reflect, be acknowledged, and have another person recognise the hard work, passion, and commitment they carry every day.

If you’re already content but could use someone to remind you just how strong, capable, and accomplished you are, Carly is that person.

Hey Carly, I really want to say how grateful I am for your help this year. I’ve been reflecting on our time working together and I keep coming back to how thankful I am that I found you online and decided to book that initial consultation call. Truly, it was one of the best decisions I made this year.

I remember feeling so nervous and unsure if it would help me out of the funk I was in, but working together 1:1 turned out to be exactly what I needed. The way you had everything set up, and the way you held space for me, made all the difference. You met me with such understanding, compassion, and complete non-judgement while helping me unblock what I needed to and gently start taking action toward what I wanted.

Even during my spiralling moments and there were many, you never made me feel like I was too much or that I shouldn’t be there again. You were always kind, patient, and supportive, and that meant more to me than I can express. Feeling safe enough to show up honestly, even on the hard days, changed everything for me.

Thank you so much for everything. This experience showed me just how powerful it is to have someone in your corner who’s been there before, your advice and knowledge has been so valuable. I know plenty of people try to do this but what really sets you apart is your raw and honest kindness, thank you 🤗

I’ve had 12 coaching sessions, over the past few months which has had a huge impact on me. I reached out to Carly for mentoring because I had just left a long term relationship, I had changes happening at work and I was moving back home for a while. I felt like I was hibernating and I wanted to be brave. I wanted an outside perspective and support to define how I wanted to move my life forwards.

I’d followed Carly for years. I’d been inspired by her move to Costa Rica, in awe of her confidence and self-assured nature, and I hoped that she would give me a different perspective.

Carly’s perspective has taken me by surprise many times - that is the magic of mentoring. You simply do not know what you don’t know, and you don’t know what life experience someone else has that they can enlighten you with. Carly has watched me grow, taken on new challenges and encouraged me, giving the necessary pep talks.

Over the last few months, we’ve discussed and focused on my finances, work, career, writing, aspirations, relationships, friendships, and my hopes and dreams. One of the biggest things that Carly has helped me with is learning to spend time solo, doing what I want to do. She has also encouraged me to invest in myself, treat myself to things I actually want and align what my heart wants with my actions.

I don’t know many people who have had coaching, mentoring (or counselling). This period of my life has been so exciting if a little daunting at times, and having someone by my side throughout has been a gift. Someone I like, someone I admire, someone whose energy is inspiring giving me a different perspective, that’s gold dust.

The things that phased me when I first started mentoring aren’t phasing me anymore. Over time, my self-belief, and self-confidence and excitement for the future has grown. My energy is now loud and proud.

I’m so grateful for the guidance, love and support the Carly has given me over the last six months. I think she is an amazing person and a brilliant mentor.

"Carly resonated with me from the start. Her beliefs, manner, calm, warmth and realistic outlook on life was what attracted me to her in the first place with her way of thinking very similar to mine. Over the course of our sessions, I always looked forward to meeting with Carly. She was invested and engaged throughout our time offering ideas and advice throughout the sessions and continually through the week, often checking in to see how progress was going which was motivating and meant that I actually got things done! Her logical and encouraging way enticed ideas out from me that I had never pushed forward and allowed me to gain clarity and knowledge about myself and my business. Carly's coaching was always adjusted and tailored to what I needed at each point offering guidance whilst being an awesome and consistent sounding board! Carly was able to challenge me and impart knowledge simultaneously in such a warm, welcoming and enjoyable way that I will definitely be keeping in touch! I feel more confident, motivated and excited as to where my path is now leading. Thank you Carly - if you get opportunity to work with Carly - grab it with both hands, you won't regret it!"

"I wholeheartedly recommend Carly as a mentor and coach. Over the past ten years I have spoken to various life coaches, mentors, and therapists but Carly stands out as the most profound connection I have made. Carly's unwavering support and her role in holding me accountable while also acting as my greatest cheerleader made such a difference in propelling me towards the actions I'd contemplated for years. If you are someone who values spirituality, connection, and a deep understanding of your true self, Carly's wisdom will undoubtedly be an asset on your personal journey, whatever topic you are looking to focus on. Her guidance has been transformative for me, and I wholeheartedly believe it will be for you too"

Jemma

"She helped me take a step back and voice thoughts or emotions that I didn’t understand or wanted to change and work through what that could look like for the future me - personally as who I am, my relationships, and professionally with what I want to do and how I can achieve that. Carly was able to understand my perspectives and also challenge me to consider things to help me step towards what I want and achieving goals"

Georgie

"From the start talking with Carly made me feel seen and heard and she made sure I knew that all my feelings were valid. She helped me in navigating a transitional period of my life and I couldn't be prouder of the person I'm becoming. Carly helped me figure out how to shift my priorities and focus to the now while also making sure I was looking out for my future. I would highly recommend her as a coach for anyone who needs help reconnecting with themselves."

Lydia

"We focused on my goals and made some achievable action plans and small steps for me to take to get closer to achieving my goals after each session. We laughed, cried and I learned so much through out our sessions and feel excited and ready to start making steps towards my goals."

Emily

"She has such a unique and refreshing perspective/ approach, it's been incredibly helpful. I now feel like I have Carly's voice in my ear, so whenever I'm facing a challenge I just think "what would Carly say?" She is so kind, understanding and supportive and it's clear she feels passionately about her work. I'm so so grateful - thank you Carly!"

Amy

Working with Carly was a joy! What started as a jumble of my own thoughts soon became clear goals to achieve. With each session, Carly provided new insights, ideas, and suggestions that were easily actionable, skillfully moving me forward in the direction of living my dream life. Carly not only has the expertise to assist her clients in achieving both personal and professional goals, but also a deep passion for her work. I’ve worked with other coaches, but none who had such honesty, warmth, and kindness. I finally feel like I’m moving closer to my goals, with clarity and renewed motivation, and I would highly recommend Carly to anyone needing a coach!

You have a very special talent for optimism, affirmations, and creativity. You had really good insights into how communities were built, the types of communities I could build, and how I could support them. This was one of the main insights I was hoping to learn. Your point of view from the business owner’s perspective was also particularly valuable. It was nice to be able to work through some of the fears I had about how business owners might respond to my ideas.  The role playing conversations were helpful for me to define the key talking points.  Envisioning what the day to day operations would look like in an ideal world helped me to better understand the support system I'll need to build to reach my goals. I really valued your advice as a mentor and I believe investing my time with you was an important step in the development of my business idea. The suggestion for improvement is personal preference based on my struggle with indecision and taking on too much at a time.

Working with Carly is like the most supported and loving free fall you could ever do. I have worked with Carly on two separate 4 block sessions now. Each block had different desired outcomes and I cannot speak highly enough how valuable and successful they both have been. Friends and family have commented on the change and positive impact working with Carly has had! Furthermore, I have just signed up to work with her over the next 6 months, less set desired outcomes, right now, for this but I know that it will be one of the best things I do for myself and my life and I’m so excited and energised to see the positive change I know it will result in.

Jemma

“Working with Carly has been an incredible gift to myself. She has held space for me to explore some things which I've never discussed with anyone and guided me through some realisations and re-education that was so required. I felt an immediate connection to Carly, who is so warm and kind, and so it felt very easy to open up and be able to be very vulnerable which allowed me to dig deep into some areas to work on. Her consistent support outside of sessions to really help keep the focus on the things we're working on were so helpful and welcomed. I'd highly recommend Carly as a coach, and hope to work together again in the future."

Nichola

I had coaching sessions to help with my binge eating and she gave me so many strategies and tools to help me gain control again over my eating. But during our conversations, other areas of life were discussed, for example, motherhood and parenting, and as a result of this, I made changes to other parts of my life which have had such a positive impact on not just me but my whole family. I can't thank Carly enough for her gentle, calm words of advice which have truly made a difference! Thank you Carly ✨

Before I started working with Carly, I felt really stuck and overwhelmed, not knowing where to begin. Carly was amazing at holding space, asking the right questions, and gently guiding me in the direction I wanted to go. She also knew when to challenge me, which helped me move past blocks I couldn’t get through on my own. I really appreciated Carly's calm presence, the clarity she brought, and how supported I felt throughout the process. I’d definitely recommend working with Carly if you’re feeling stuck or unsure of your next steps.

Working with Carly has been truly inspiring. Each conversation felt meaningful and left me with new ideas and practical insights that stayed with me long after. She has a genuine gift for listening with care and presence, understanding where you are, and helping you move forward with clarity and confidence towards what truly matters.

There’s something very special about the way she combines wisdom, kindness, and a calm sense of direction that makes every session feel both grounding and empowering.

If you ever have the chance to book a session, please don’t think twice, it’s a truly wonderful experience.

Sara.
