About me

I embrace a holistic approach to coaching as I want you to reach your potential in your relationships with others around you, your personal life and professional life.

I have a clinical and health background, having graduated as an Occupational Therapist, and have further studied and completed training in counselling and psychotherapy. This has included cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnosis and completing formal two year training in psychodynamic psychotherapy followed by ongoing practice. With further training I provided clinical supervision and mentoring to a range of individuals and organisations, including in the not for profit sector.

Adding to this base, I joined the International Coach Federation and underwent further training in coaching more than 20 years ago. My intention was to assist people more broadly than in a clinical scenario. This led to studying marketing, business and HR and thereafter founded businesses in coaching and recruitment. In a coaching capacity I have assisted small businesses with their professional development, HR, staffing and marketing functions. On a personal and professional level, I have assisted individuals and couples with leadership and management development, career change and progression, led stress management workshops and seminars for corporate organisations and provided dating and relationship coaching to name a few. I have spent over 15 years working in corporate and governmental organisations, primarily in recruitment, executive search and talent management, leading teams, managing projects and improving processes and systems.

I have always loved working alongside people helping them get the results they so want. My key focus areas are relationships, personal and professional development as so often people find great satisfaction when these are all humming. My key wish is to help you achieve your chosen goals and desires as quickly and effectively as possible.

I look forward to helping you.

What People Are Saying

    “

    I have utilised Denise Corlett for personal coaching for over 12 years. She originally assisted me with my own career coaching and development. Denise now provides advice to and guidance relating to my own businesses.

    Denise is well experienced across multiple of business disciplines in small, medium and large organisations. She has a strong understanding of human resources, marketing, business growth strategies and more importantly relationship skills that can be used those areas.

    I have recommended Denise to friends and work colleagues and the feedback from all those who have utilised her services is extremely positive.

    “

    I started seeing Denise at a viciously low point in my life, and am convinced that her wisdom, patience and genuinely good advice helped pull me up a lot faster than I could ever have managed on my own. Thanks to Denise, I feel more confident and in control in ALL areas of my life. I wish I'd found her years ago, and highly recommend her skills as a "coach".

    There comes a time in your life when you just don't know what option to take. Meeting with Denise solved it all for us. Denise managed to channel our thoughts into a cohesive, appropriate and possible plan for the next five years. Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees and it needs someone to help you out of the forest. Denise did this for us.

    “

    Living on a farm with little opportunity of coming across men as well as not being great at flirting or seeing that someone was interested were just some of my challenges to finding a partner. I can also be a little shy and stand offish so wasn’t very confident about the whole relationship thing. I had a couple of sessions with Denise (by phone) where we focused totally on these challenges and how to find and approach someone who might be of interest. Four months ago I met a lovely man via y. The lovely man has continued to be so and we are very happy! He has also just asked me to move into his house with him which is huge, but exciting too. Thankyou for your help earlier on.

    I first had contact with Denise in September 2008 as I was struggling to find the right girl for me and had lost lots of confidence following my marriage break up years ago. I was still keen to get married again if I found the right person but I was hesitant to approach women, missed lots of opportunities to talk to women, wasn't sure if someone was interested in me, was really unsure about the steps and etiquette to dating and just not knowing the right sort of person for me now. After working with Denise over the last 9 months I have noticed a huge difference in where I am now. I am much more confident now and have had lots of interest from women. But more importantly I am now in a serious relationship with someone very special and don't think I would have got to this point so quickly without Denise."
