From Survival Mode to Steady Ground
When you’ve learned to survive on empty and struggle to sleep or fully settle…
When opening up feels vulnerable or unsafe, yet you’re exhausted from pushing emotions down…
When your reactions leave you carrying shame, and the person you once were — or hoped to be — feels far away…
You might feel lost, but you are not broken.
Here, you will find trauma-informed ADHD and nervous system support for adults wanting to regulate, rebuild, and move forward with deeper self-trust and clearer perspective.
Including specialist experience supporting military personnel and veterans navigating transition, operational stress, and life beyond service.

Coaching Services
Cultivating Calm
Designed for those who benefit from steadiness rather than strategy. Cultivating Calm offers a supportive, heart-led space to slow the pace, listen inwardly, and explore thoughts, emotions, and bodily responses — particularly during periods of transition, loss, or heightened sensitivity. This self-paced pathway is often chosen by those navigating grief, hormonal change, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, or a desire for deeper self-understanding.
After Service Coaching
Be steadily guided from command to calm with practical, trauma-informed support that helps you understand how the brain operates and how to regulate your nervous system. Together, we create a safe space to pause and breathe, take stock, and reset both body and mind — supporting shifts in thinking, self-trust, and patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you, so you can move forward with a clearer internal compass aligned to how you wish to be.
ADHD Coaching
I help individuals in navigating the unique challenges and strengths of ADHD with clarity and compassion. I draw on evidence-based coaching models, neuroscience, and lived experience to support executive functioning, emotional regulation, and motivation. The focus is on understanding, practical strategies, and removing shame from the process.
Meet Your Coach
With education rooted in neuroscience, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed practice, Carly supports people to understand their minds, soften the pressure they carry, and create sustainable change. Her work is gentle, present, and deeply human — offering space to reconnect with what truly matters and realign with values that feel right for who you are today.

My Approach
Tailored Solutions
I offer individualised coaching that responds to your circumstances, capacity, and priorities. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with a focus on clarifying direction, identifying workable strategies, and supporting integration between sessions.
Where helpful, this may include reflective or practical exercises designed to support consistency and follow-through in daily life. Session structure, focus areas, and pacing can be adapted to support sustainability and accessibility, ensuring the work remains realistic and aligned with your wider responsibilities.
Attuned and Supportive Guidance
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience, allowing me to meet you with steadiness, respect, and understanding. Sessions are non-judgemental and collaborative, offering a space where you are met as you are, without pressure to perform or be anything other than yourself.
This is a coaching relationship, not therapy. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, I offer reflective questioning, perspective, and gentle accountability to support meaningful, real-world change. I work in a way that is inclusive, respectful, and grounded, aiming to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to engage honestly.
Integrated Health & Recovery
I work from an evidence-informed, whole-person perspective, supporting long-term health, recovery, and resilience. Drawing on training in nervous system regulation, lifestyle health, and mind–body practices, I can suggest practical strategies to support sleep quality, energy levels, stress response, and overall functioning.
This may include guidance around sleep routines, nutrition, supplementation (where appropriate), movement, breathwork, and restorative practices such as guided rest and Yoga Nidra. These approaches are used to support deep rest, recovery, and nervous system regulation, with an emphasis on breath-led techniques and brainwave states associated with restoration, learning, and emotional regulation.
The focus is on sustainable, evidence-informed changes that support the body and brain over time, rather than quick fixes.
Questions & Answers
Is this coaching or therapy?
This is coaching, not therapy. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Coaching focuses on present-day support, reflection, and practical strategies to support change and resilience.
If at any point therapy or specialist mental health support would be more appropriate, this will be discussed openly and respectfully.
Do I need to know what I want before starting?
No. Many clients begin coaching feeling unclear, overwhelmed, or unsure of direction. Sessions can support you in clarifying priorities and identifying what feels meaningful and workable at your pace.
Is this practical — or just talking?
Both — and deliberately so.
The conversations are purposeful rather than abstract. We talk in order to clarify what’s happening, make sense of patterns, and identify what might genuinely support change. Practical steps tend to emerge naturally from that process, rather than being imposed from the outset.
