Coaching

Move Forward With Clarity, Confidence, and Purpose

Coaching with me is a collaborative, goal-focused process. A space to pause, reflect, and work on what matters most right now. Through structured and meaningful conversations, you’ll build on your own resources, gain clarity, and move forward with purpose. My background as a psychologist brings added depth and perspective to this work, while keeping the focus firmly on your goals and growth.

Coaching with Carl

Carl’s coaching is informed by a unique blend of experience in psychology, leadership, and business management. Before qualifying as a psychologist, he worked at the National Housing Federation, coordinating research projects, overseeing service reviews, and working alongside teams of consultants. This early career gave him valuable skills in project management, evaluation, and collaborative problem-solving.

Alongside his psychological practice, Carl is the founder and director of Psychology & Psychotherapy Services Ltd. Running his own business has given him first-hand insight into the realities of leadership, resilience, and balancing professional growth with day-to-day management.

These experiences build on his established role as a senior psychologist within the NHS, where he held responsibility for the delivery of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) services in his department. In this role, he trained and supervised psychologists and worked closely within multi-disciplinary teams.

Carl is now completing an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Coaching, working towards EMCC Senior Practitioner accreditation. This training builds on the skills and insights he has developed over decades as a psychologist and leader enabling him to offer coaching that is reflective, structured, and focused on growth.

How Coaching Works

Coaching with Carl is a partnership for clarity and growth. It’s not about quick fixes or generic advice it’s about creating space to reflect, uncover new perspectives, and take purposeful steps forward.

My approach follows the EMCC Global framework, which emphasises ethics, reflective practice, and transformation through collaboration. In practice, this means:

  • You are the expert: coaching starts from the principle that you hold the answers my role is to help you surface them.

  • Confidential and safe: a trusting relationship is at the centre of the work, allowing honest reflection and growth.

  • Insight into action: coaching is about both reflection and movement. We explore patterns, test perspectives, and create a plan for change.

  • Supportive and challenging: my approach combines curiosity with professionalism, so you feel supported while also being encouraged to grow.

Every coaching journey begins with an initial conversation to clarify what you want to focus on, agree how we’ll work together, and define what outcomes matter most to you. From there, we structure sessions around exploration, reflection, and action planning always tailored to your needs.

Coaching Might Be Right for You

Coaching with me may be a good fit if you find yourself:

  • At a career or life crossroads

  • Feeling disconnected from your goals or burnt out

  • Struggling with confidence or purpose

  • Ready to change direction but uncertain how

  • Looking for more than surface-level advice

My background as a Chartered Psychologist and experienced supervisor means I bring depth to the coaching process: I know how to hold conversations that are reflective, relational, and transformative. The focus, however, is on the here and now working with your goals, your resources, and your potential.
