Hello, I'm Carey, Personal & Professional Development Coach
…with 5 years of experience helping people to achieve more balance, confidence, and success.
I’m a certified coach, having completed a fully accredited ILM Level 5 training programme with both the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) in 2019. I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients—from rising professionals to curious creatives—each looking to unlock their potential and achieve their goals.
With a multidisciplinary background spanning the creative arts to values-driven organisations, I’ve gained a deep understanding of creativity, collaboration, and resilience. I bring this diverse background into my coaching practice, offering a holistic approach that sees you as a whole person.
Whether you’re ready to finally launch that project you’ve been putting off, navigate a career change or step into a leadership role, or reduce stress and avoid burnout, my coaching is designed to support you where you are and guide you to where you want to be.
I draw on a blend of methods—including strength-based coaching, mindfulness, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)—to create a personalised approach that truly resonates with you.
"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."
Carl Jung
My Coaching Philosophy:
Real growth happens when we look at life holistically, integrating all aspects of self. My coaching approach is designed to be transformative yet grounded, helping you unlock your potential through self-discovery, confidence-building, and actionable strategies. Below are the guiding principles that shape my work:
Whole Person Approach: I view you as a whole person, not just a set of challenges. By understanding and integrating all aspects of your life, we create meaningful and lasting change.
Creative Exploration: I encourage creative thinking and exploration as vital tools for personal and professional growth, helping you tap into your unique strengths and perspectives.
Empowerment and Growth Mindset: My coaching fosters a growth mindset, empowering you to embrace challenges and see setbacks as opportunities for learning and development.
Wellbeing and Resilience: I prioritise wellbeing and resilience, ensuring that your growth is sustainable and balanced, both personally and professionally.

I’m Carey-Belle, but most people just call me Carey.
I grew up in the Peak District, spent eight years studying and working in London, and now call South Devon home with my husband and two kids. I’m equally at ease in the city or the countryside—though my current preference is for a bit more space and sea air.
I try to remember that “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives” (Annie Dillard). I try to savor the little things, whether that’s time on my yoga matt, a good book, or great food.
My natural curiosity drives both my creativity and fuels me as a coach. I’m always eager to dive into new ideas and understand different perspectives. This curiosity helps me connect with people on a personal level and offer fresh insights and meaningful support. It’s what makes coaching so rewarding and allows me to guide others in a way that feels both genuine and effective.
Some of the values that shape my work…
Growth and Self-Discovery
I value the transformative power of continuous growth and self-discovery. My coaching journey with clients revolves around exploring new horizons, breaking through barriers, and cultivating a deeper understanding of themselves and their capabilities.
Authenticity
Honesty and authenticity form the foundation of my coaching philosophy. I encourage clients to embrace their true selves, embrace vulnerability, and move from a place of genuine passion and purpose.
EMPOWERment
Empowering individuals to unlock their full potential and embrace their unique brilliance. I believe in nurturing self-confidence and fostering a sense of agency, enabling clients to take charge of their journey.
Joyful Living
I believe in celebrating the everyday joy of our lives. My coaching seeks to infuse a sense of joy and fulfilment into the everyday, allowing clients to experience the pleasure and inspiration that comes from their pursuits.
