The Paulaw Coaching Journey

Step 1: Initial Contact

We'll connect over the phone or over Zoom/Teams for a free introductory call. This session is designed for us to meet, discuss your needs, and provide all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Step 3: Commitment to Growth
You choose a coaching program that suits your needs: 3, 6, or 12 sessions. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey.

I have had the privilege to be coached by Paula during different phases of my life and with her help I have learnt to work in a way that makes me feel good. Paula has a fantastic ability to help you pause, put words to what is going on, sense what is needed in the moment and with concrete tools change the situation by daring to challenge old behaviour patterns.

My experience of coaching with Paula has been remarkably beneficial. I find it difficult to access or even recognize my fears and the control they exude over my life.  Paula was objective, attentive, patient and diligent in offering varying angels of perception, finding coping methods and gaining self-trust; through, addressing my fears. 

I am finally able to view my fears as my inner self simply trying to protect me. This allows me to comfortably regain control over my life, without regret.

Being coached by Paula really changed my attitude to life and she helped me find my inner peace. Paula is an incredible coach – she is present, always listening and she really guided me through the obstacles that I had. Even in serious and difficult sessions, she always ended it in a positive way, and she always made me feel comfortable. The trust I have felt for Paula has been amazing and I really recommend everyone to be coached by Paula to be able to use their full potential in life.

Empower Your Journey with Paula, a Professional Co-Active Coach

What is Co-Active Coaching?

Paula is a professional Co-Active Coach and has been trained at the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI®).

CTI's coach training program is regarded as the gold standard of coaching by Harvard Medical School, that has linked the Co-Active Model to evidence-based scientific research about its effectiveness.


CTI's coaching program is not only an ICF-accredited program, but has also gained the reputation of the most rigorous in the industry.

Coaching and Science

Science has revealed that when the brain is influenced by the chemicals associated with stress, it is less creative and less able to think of long-term solutions.


Co-Active principles offer a variety of ways to help individuals move out of a reactive state and create new possibilities for moving forward with tools and skills that can be linked to neuroscientifically proven stress-reduction techniques, right-left hemisphere integration, and neuroplasticity.


As neuroplasticity expert Norman Doidge points out in his famous book The brain that Changes Itself, there is substantial evidence that we can “rewire our brains with our thoughts.” But because the default in our brain is to go with the pathways that are already developed, it is difficult to change without focused, supported, intentional effort — and this is where the science of coaching can be applied.


Co-Active Coaching provides a robust framework for achieving profound and lasting change.
