Meet Carol

I was raised and still live in East London, shaped by its diversity, community, and openness. Growing up here gave me a deep respect for difference and the importance of listening well. From an early age, music was my language. I studied violin and piano, completed a degree in music, and created opportunities to showcase the talents of others. That instinct to notice and support people has stayed with me throughout my life.

I have spent over 30 years working in the music industry and currently work as a Public Performance Disputes Resolution Specialist for a major record label. I also work as a Mentor Coach within a structured associate internship programme, supporting a Black emerging professional on a two year development programme. In this role, I provide reflective, development focused coaching that supports confidence, clarity, and professional identity within a complex organisational environment.  

In 2024, being made redundant at 57 became an unexpected turning point. I was not afraid of the change, but I did not yet know what came next. With the support of my own coach, I found the space to reflect, reconnect with my values, and gain clarity about the work I wanted to do. Coaching emerged not as a sudden decision, but as something that felt both natural and long overdue.

My coaching practice is grounded in professional training, ongoing supervision, and ethical standards, including accreditation as an 

EMCC Senior Practitioner Coach. 

Looking back, I can see that I have been listening deeply and holding space for others for most of my life. Coaching simply gave that instinct a professional home.

Today, I run a private coaching practice, working with people who are navigating change and want space to think clearly, feel more confident, and move forward in a way that feels true to them.

Living with keloid scars once made me want to stay in the background. Over time, that experience shaped my empathy, presence, and ability to create calm, non judgemental spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported.

I am also a proud single mother to an adult daughter who continues to teach me about resilience and growth. Life has brought its challenges, and each one has informed the grounded, thoughtful way I work today.

I believe it is never too late to make a meaningful shift.

I did. And you can too.

If you are looking for space to pause, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity, you are welcome here.
