Carol’s coaching style is very natural, she has an amazing way of making her clients feel comfortable and relaxed and works with them, steadily moving them forward to achieving their goal.

Carol has the ability to keep her client focused and on track, asks the right questions at the right time and knows instinctively when to challenge and when to support them as they break out of their comfort zone.

She motivates her clients by raising their self awareness, reinforcing their strengths and making them feel good about themselves, holding them totally accountable for their actions.

What was really noticeable was her genuine interest in her client, she really does believe in the ability of each individual and encourages them to take action.

Carol is a coach who really knows what she is doing.

I can thoroughly recommend Carol’s services as a coach. When I first met her I was terrified of networking but Carol’s coaching skills have boosted my self-confidence to the point where I have no problem walking into a room full of people and talking to complete strangers. I have also run a workshop, something I would never have dreamed of doing a year ago. Carol intuitively asks the right questions at the right time and has a natural ability to bring out the best in people.

I do not think that I have ever spoken at length about myself before and relayed so many of my feelings, fears and aspirations.
Carol has a real ability to draw these out and knows when to listen and when to probe those areas where I am more reticent. I feel able to speak with frankness and have gained much more clarity of thought from the experience. It was intense but rewarding at the same time.
The agreement of follow up action has served to ensure that the process continues and does not begin and end with the coaching session. Whilst my life coaching is still at an early stage I have every faith that Carol has the ideal personality, listening and coaching skills to make a real difference in m outlook on life and my work life balance. I am also very confident in her integrity and confidentiality. PN Bournemouth Mynx - Lesley Hunter

Carol Black has helped me tremendously, for which I am eternally grateful. In the brief time we worked together, she has helped me to develop confidence in myself and to find the courage and commitment to carry my goals through into tangible actions.

Carol's relaxed and sensitive style of coaching has helped me gain an insight into different techniques and approaches that I am using in my own practice with my own clients.

I still have a lot to learn and am enjoying this journey. I would recommend Carol, without reservation, to anyone who needs to clarify the direction they want to take, and to explore the values and beliefs that are leading them there. LH Newcastle

Since seeing Carol, my life has changed around. So much so, and by achieving the first small goals, I am happier than I have ever been. I have learnt that it is not the place that I live in that is so important to me it is the network of friends and acquaintances that I have made by being more outgoing and saying "Good morning" rather than burrowing into myself.

I feel motivates my life is so busy I am so glad that I went to see Carol. Aug 2007

Looking back at what seems an already long and densely filled life, I realise that there have been only a few major turning points that distinctly changed my perspective.

My last change of direction I owe to Carol Black.

Thanks to Carol's expertise, understanding and guidance I was able to reach a level of Clarity and Certainty about myself and my future I may never have reached on my own.

I value Carol's work immensley and recommend her to all who are searching for their way forward.
