The Psychology of Success: Understanding yourself...
I work with executives, entrepreneurs and business owners who have achieved a great deal professionally but sometimes find themselves questioning what comes next.
Perhaps you're successful on paper, but something doesn't feel quite right.
Perhaps you're repeating patterns in relationships, struggling to switch off, facing a major decision or wondering whether the life you've built is still the life you want.
My approach to therapeutic coaching goes way beyond conventional coaching. Drawing on my psychodynamic and therapeutic background, I work with you to explore the patterns, beliefs and behaviours that influence how you think, feel, work and relate to others.
Together, we look beneath the surface, develop greater self-understanding and explore new ways of moving forward.
I bring together therapeutic training, business and marketing experience, and a genuine curiosity about people and what makes us tick.
I work online with clients internationally, subject to professional and legal eligibility.
If you're at a crossroads, I'd welcome a conversation.

“Carmen came highly recommended by a friend, and she has truly been such a gift in my life. She has helped me navigate so many different seasons and transitions with compassion, wisdom, and genuine care. I don’t know how she does it, but she always seems to know exactly what I need to hear, even when it’s not necessarily what I expect.
She has a remarkable way of offering perspective, encouragement, and clarity while making you feel completely heard and understood. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and the positive impact she has had on my life. I cannot recommend her enough!.”

“In the first five minutes of meeting Carmen – I knew unequivocally that everything was “going to be all-right”.
For years, therapist after therapist I’ve searched for someone who had the capability to work with me to identify the experiences, trauma, behaviors from my past that I was carrying and that were contributing to behaviors and emotions that were counterintuitive to who I want to be and where I am going with this life. The unproductive behaviors that I was engaging in only to fulfill or give confirmation to the negative view and belief I had of myself deep down.
Good news – it wasn’t my belief it was someone else’s entirely.
Camen helped me understand that. She helped me shed all of the baggage that I was carrying. The clarity, the levity, the joy, happiness and love bursting at the seams of who I am today, in this moment – is in thanks to the work we have done and are doing.
I am deeply grateful we found one another. If you are looking for real change and ready to roll up your sleeves and dig deep – Carmen is someone who will partner with you and help guide your re-discovery. And you will get to own it and that is so beautiful!”

"Working with Carmen in the past five years has been transformational.
Carmen has been there to provide sound support and guidance as I negotiated a number of life challenges including family bereavements, children leaving home, menopause, Covid and the closure of my business.
Whilst this was all hugely valuable, the bigger impact is how Carmen has enabled me to shift my approach to life and my place in the world. Helping me to build belief in myself and an appreciation of what truly matters.
Looking back over the past five years it’s extraordinary to reflect that with Carmen’s support I have become an author, podcaster, film director and founder of a business focused solely on what I love. I’ve given up alcohol, transformed my eating habits, bought a campervan, found yoga and re-connected with my husband. I’ve let go of so much and learnt the importance of following the things in life that bring me real joy. My friends and family all comment that I am now a very different (much less stressed, happier) person.
Whilst I still have those existential ‘what’s it all about’ moments, I am now on a much more fulfilling joyful path, and I love how the changes I’ve made also ripple out to others in the world, through my relationships and the work I do.
I am so happy Carmen came into my life."
