Testimonials

I can’t thank Julia enough for the coaching and support I received the last 12 months.

I have found my time with her really improved my self-awareness, pausing to reflect and allowed me to gain many insights along this way. Looking forward to a life with boundaries being in control and positive about the future. I feel empowered to make a positive impact in both my personal and professional life moving forward, with renewed energy. The tools for life I have gained will be used time and time again.

Working with Julia was insightful and helpful. She drew on her wide knowledge of tools, methods and research to help develop and redefine my ways of interacting with our team. Together we identified barriers and challenges and sought practical solutions. I would highly recommend working with Julia.

I can highly recommend Julia as a supervisor for your coaching practice. I came out of our first session with an overwhelming sense of being in safe, skilled, knowledgeable and supportive hands and I find every session with her immensely valuable. She calmly supports you to think deeply, consider dilemmas from new perspectives, and raises your self-awareness, and always with the best interests of your client in mind. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

My two best group learning and reflection experiences were in supervision groups with Julia. She creates an open, non-judgemental environment where you can lose the inhibitions that meddle with shared reflection. The balance of contracting, structure, and establishing our way of working alongside an experimental, fluid and in the moment approach was perfect for me. Julia has set the bar for me with supervision style, supervisor selection, the value of supervision and the necessary conditions for generating self-awareness. I would recommend Julia to coaches of any capability if supervision is much more than a tick box compliance activity; you need to be willing to work on your self.

Julia, is the real deal not only as a PHD qualified superb Coach/Supervisor but as a human being. Julia has been coaching me for a while now and if you are lucky enough to be coached by her you should be smiling from the offset..... be prepared to put the hard work in and you will experience an amazing transformation to become the best version of yourself! As Nike says "just do it"....!

I have used Julia to deliver management training for key managers. Working with Julia is a breath of fresh air. She quickly understands the needs of the business and recommends practical and effective solutions. This means from day one you feel like progress is being made

If you’re wondering whether supervision is worth it let me just share it’s worth every moment and will change your approach and skill as a coach far beyond any formal coaching programme. And if you’re lucky enough that Julia Carden is your supervisor then it will be at a whole another level. There is no-one else in my experience who has such a wealth of knowledge to draw on, and she’s a master at her craft, whether one on one or in a group. I cannot recommend her enough.

It was a rich and rewarding experience to work with Julia and her team. We needed to work with a training partner who could help us to apply supervision theory to the practicalities of our different roles within the organisation. Julia understood this brief and worked with us to create a learning programme which was bespoke to our unique requirements, furthermore she was open and adaptable to feedback and actively sought opportunities to engage everyone in the process. Our team appreciated the opportunity to access the expertise of Julia, Tracy and Karen and they have left us with lots of new skills and the motivation to continue to apply and develop our learning to support ourselves, our colleagues and our learners.
