"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"

"Several points of friction that have kept me feeling stuck in life and work have eased thanks to coaching. Holistically, I feel more rested, energized, and in a better mood. Tactically, I have managed my time and projects much better--I have better work-life balance and I manage my time within work and within life much better. I am getting closer to living my life with more intention than simply existing."

"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! :) "

"I found it quite easy to discuss fairly deep feelings, which was definitely a good thing. While I, and I'm sure many others, can talk openly with their partner, a natural response of a partner if you put yourself down is for them to lift you up again. For example, if I conveyed my fear of failure and a concern that I can't do the job to [my partner], her natural reaction would be to assure me that "of course you can do the job......standing on your head". In the session, there were no such subjective responses so I had to search for that reassurance myself.
Overall it really helped, I made my decision very quickly afterwards and I am certain that I have made the right decision."

"Cara has helped me to completely re-frame how I see things in my work and personal life through a handful clear and practical coaching sessions. I feel calmer, and happier and I now have the tools to help keep me feeling like this. Amazing and effective, thank you 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."

"Working together over the telephone to identify my core values and beliefs Cara has been integral in helping me pursue my current life path as a full-time freelance Naturopath and Herbalist. Professionally and personally, this is a dream come true that I never would have thought possible if Cara hadn't worked with me to shine light on the fact that autonomy and quality of life were of paramount importance to me and my personal happiness. I wouldn't (and don't!) hesitate in recommending Cara to any of my friends or patients requiring help establishing what it is they actually want from life and how to go about making it a reality. Book yourself a session now!"

"It was wonderful having the space and time to really think. I did not feel at all pressured even though you did give me the challenge I needed by your questioning”
