I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark for Life Coaching services, he really helped me in terms of confidence and mindset and in a few sessions had me thinking in a more positive and confident way. Thanks again Mark.

I started with Mark last year, I was in a job where I was giving everything, working all hours and still being micro managed, treated disrespectful, but as the main earner in the family I felt I had no option but to take it on the chin and keep the head down and put up and shut up.
I was very stressed and my life was consumed by work and other peoples expectations, I had very little control over my time. It was hard for me to open up as I am a quiet person and I find it hard sharing my problems, a closed book you could say.
Mark taught me how to be compassionate to myself and treat myself the way I would expect others to be treated and that I was not being kind to myself by letting myself being treated this way and spending all the time working and not speaking up for myself for being treated so bad. Mark also made me realise that working gave me the opportunities to go on holidays, make friends and have the money to pay the bills.
Mark showed how to value me and to set boundaries for myself and to start doing day to day things that I enjoy, I no longer work late unless its urgent, I don’t let people be disrespectful to me. I am now kind to myself and I realise I have a choice in the way I reacted in situations and its my choice what I do with my time.
I am nolonger consumed by work. I think I am doing my best and I am proud of myself.
I would not have been able to do this without my sessions with Mark.

I am two weeks out after having 4 sessions with Mark and I am beyond grateful for everything Mark has helped me with.
My outlook on my life and how I treat myself has dramatically changed in the absolute best way and it is Mark who taught me this.
Our sessions had a natural flow, were filled with many 'ah-ha' moments and I was so comfortable sharing with him.
I feel like a new person and it's not just me who has noticed, even friends and family have said it too.
I cannot recommend Mark enough. I am looking forward to more sessions in the future.
Thanks for everything Mark.

Mark has an ability to distill problems into clear & actionable points, and working with him made me feel like I had the tools I needed to make important career decisions.

Thank you Mark Carolan, for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, and passion for the work that you do.
As someone who was new to coaching, I didn’t know what to expect.
I was feeling a bit lost in
myself, and unsure of the path I was on.
The coaching sessions, facilitated by Mark, have been the most beneficial thing I’ve
done for myself in a very long time. It has been an enlightening experience. Yes, it was challenging at
times, but I feel empowered again. More importantly, I feel reconnected with myself and my values.
Thank you, Mark, for enabling me to see life through a much more positive lens.

Speaking to Mark has made me feel like I’ve set myself up for success in my new role - thanks Mark! More...

Habits Coaching
The starting point for coaching on habits is to raise the awareness of what you need to develop and what you need to remove. We then focus on taking action to change the negative habits so that the positive habits can be implemented. Coaching is practical and we would create a plan to ensure you can build the life that you want. Our habits don't just dictate who we are, they dictate who we are going to become, so it is critical that we build the habits into our life today to shape our tomorrows.
