What is Transformative Coaching?
Transformative Coaching is a powerful way of uncovering our personal beliefs and values, and exploring how these impact our behaviours and shape our experience of life.
Ultimately, it enables a journey of self-exploration and self-expression that opens up the gates to greater self-awareness.
My Approach.
I take a whole person approach to coaching which means I offer a psychologically safe, open and confidential space for my clients to bring their authentic selves. Using a collaborative process, I invite creativity and constructive challenge as we focus on thoughts, obstacles, outcomes and goals.
My tools and methods empower my clients to rediscover their truth and make choices aligned with their values. In this thought partnership, you can rewrite your narratives and bring a sense of clarity and authenticity across all areas of your life.
Underneath our external identities there lies a ‘true self’ and a unique story in each and every one of us. Life can pull us far away from our truth, but we can find our way back home. By surrendering and becoming curious enough to explore our inner worlds we can tap into our creativity and transform from the inside out.
It is often our own resistance to change that causes the most pain. Find your reason why and move towards it.

“After working with Calia, I felt motivated and empowered. I felt like I was back in the driving seat of my life, and that I had the power and the right to make decisions that were best for me. She helped me to identify what the most important issues were that I was facing and worked with me to plan out clear steps to take to get to where I wanted to be. Calia helped me to see a link between my personal and professional life in the way I reacted to situations. The clarity of this meant to me that if I could see I had made positive change in one area, it would also be possible to do in the other area. Calia is an excellent listener and helps you analyse situations from a perspective you may not have been able to see yourself. She is calm, non judgemental and optimistic in her approach. She brings a very warm ambiance to the sessions. I always felt safe and trusted Calia with the details of my life.”

“I've thoroughly enjoyed being coached by Calia. She is very easy to talk to and I've always felt super comfortable sharing my thoughts with her, no matter what I had on my mind. Calia will listen very patiently to the longest brain dumps and then summarise them in a way that sets off lightbulbs in my head. So many aha moments! At the end of every coaching session I've had with Calia, I felt a lot happier and less anxious, either ready to tackle the task or at peace with something I had been ruminating about. It's a rare gift to be really heard and to feel accepted, no matter what. Calia's gentle, patient coaching style makes the most challenging situation less daunting!”
