About Me
My interest in coaching initially came from seeing the impact that coaching conversations had when I was supporting the development of teachers and students in an education setting.
My passion for coaching continues to be fuelled by continued learning and development and my own personal transformational experience as a result of working with a coach.
I have coached clients in many professional and personal contexts around issues including: performance at work, career progression, physical and mental wellbeing, study skills, next steps in education and parenting in challenging circumstances.
I have a keen interest in drawing on and contributing to research in the field of Coaching Psychology. My own research paper on the sustained impact of coaching was published in the July 2024 edition of the BPS journal International Coaching Psychology Review.

Caroline Rigby Coaching
Client Feedback:
"Caroline helped me take back control when I was feeling overwhelmed. The session was insightful and empowering. I would highly recommend coaching to anyone who finds themselves struggling with life's swerve-balls."
“I was lucky enough to be coached by Caroline. She is an excellent coach and helped me work through some tricky decisions. I had felt stuck and unable to work out what to do. Caroline was really good at listening and asking me questions which helped change the way I thought about the issues. Caroline helped me to work out my own solutions and move forward. Thank you Caroline.”
"My coaching sessions with Caroline made a huge difference to my wellbeing at a time when I was struggling with parenting and experiencing low mood as a result. Caroline helped me to find solutions and strategies in the areas of my life that I was finding challenging, I am now in a much better place and have a range of tools that I know I can implement when faced with challenging situations."
"The coaching space prompted me to think about where I am today and helped me focus and prioritise".
"Talking with Caroline comes very naturally and I feel very safe in discussing openly very personal thoughts and feelings. She is skilled in guiding the session in what feels to be a very experienced and intuitive way. The discussions have offered practical and supportive tools to address my issues".
