We are not the sum total of our habitual responses, beliefs or past experiences - we sometimes need assistance to drop the sense of external obligation and to reveal our true potential.  With coaching we can build strengths, master the impact of our inner chatter, discover what drives us, uncover our true selves, and hone our thoughts for the better.

​

Would you like to move from unconscious 'autopilot', overwhelm, stagnation towards contentment, success and clarity?

All coaching is non-directive, confidential, empowering, trauma informed and ethically driven.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Sally O'Brien, Advanced Social Worker

This is a wonderful guide to support you begin to understand the impact of narcissistic parental relationships, and how to be compassionate with yourself to help manage their impact. Much recommended to provide clarity and remind you of your own worth

Lisa Schuller, CEO Crystal Platypus

So much unintended damage is done by narcissistic parents.  I am appreciative of Cara shining a light on this topic in such an approachable way.  This book is a powerful guide to help people to first identify with the experience, and then apply the tools to begin to move beyond the experience and heal.

The tools Cara has given me through coaching have literally been transformational. I have been able to use these in both my professional and home life and work through challenges in a positive way. I have hugely increased my self awareness which has helped understand my reactions and actions; in turn this has helped me with some difficult issues and big decisions. Cara is incredibly skilled and I would highly recomend her to anyone seeking executive coaching.

Cara’s EDMR sessions are very powerful. I was amazed by how much came up in one session. My awareness was brought to an emotional wound that my body has been carrying since childhood, that was buried deep in my subconscious. 

 

I felt completely safe and held by Cara’s caring and professional manner throughout the session. My body felt safe enough to bring the wound into my awareness so that I could bring love and compassion to it. Cara also asked questions throughout the session that enabled me to see where I was and have been carrying resistance to so many things in my life. 

 

I felt so much calmer and lighter afterwards, and now I feel like there is more space in my energetic field for more positive energy to expand into. 

If you are feeling a little heavy or stuck or suffering with pain in the body I highly recommend Cara’s EDMR sessions.

I feel like I was somewhat of a passenger in my own career and work/life balance prior to starting coaching. I was trapped in a loop of feeling behind, doing more work, feeling more stressed and general overwhelm.

 

Since starting coaching I have regained control over my career, work and particularly the interplay with my personal life. I'm starting to get better at planning and thinking about the bigger picture

Cara had a respectful and empathetic presence while guiding me through various exercises and techniques tailored to my specific needs. Her knowledge of Somatic/EMDR therapy was evident in every interaction including how she explained the process and potential benefits with clarity and enthusiasm.  

After each session, I felt profoundly grateful for the experience. Cara has a remarkable gift for Somatic/EMDR healing.  This holistic approach left me feeling not only physically rejuvenated but also mentally clearer and emotionally lighter. Her genuine passion for helping others release trauma shines through in every session.  For anyone seeking a deeper connection to their mind and body, I highly recommend Cara.

My sessions with Cara were so rewarding! With her professional, caring and supportive approach, she helped me to quickly identify negative beliefs I had about myself that were holding me back. I hadn't even realised I had them so the experience was extremely eye opening and cathartic. She helped me to understand the beliefs from a new perspective, enabling me to challenge them and create new, more appropriate beliefs in their place.

 

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cara. If you are stuck in a rut and can't put your finger on it, she will help you to find what it is that is holding you back and gives you the tools to free yourself so you can look forwards with a fresh perspective - refreshing and so beneficial

I have had coaching sessions with Cara at Effective Thoughts to help identify my core values and beliefs, assisting me in a more fulfilling life path/style. I would highly recommend Cara to any of my friends who need some help finding out what they really want from life and what makes them truly happy. Plus to top it all off she is an awesome lady! :)

Cara is an amazing coach - she listens closely and responds with just the right balance of empathy and challenge. I would fully recommend her to anyone who is serious about making changes in their life.
