Carina Gwynne, Professional Coach in Wellington

Want to thrive and not just survive?

I’ve been helping people find solutions to their personal and professional issues in my coaching and counselling practice (based in Wellington NZ) for over a decade now. I value creating a supportive and safe environment for my clients to share their story. My approach is holistic and open-minded, helping address the underlying issues and planning practical ways of addressing them.

I hold a Bachelor of Applied Social Sciences in Counselling, a Bachelor of Science majoring in Psychology, a Certificate in Counselling and Social Work, and a Diploma in Professional Coaching. I am a Full Member of the Career Development Association of New Zealand (CDANZ).

The SERVICES

Coaching

Coaching provides an effective support system for achieving personal and professional goals by helping you get clear on what you want and how you are going to make it happen. It focuses on finding solutions that bridge the gap between your current situation and where you want to be.

Counselling

Counselling provides you with a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It’s a talking therapy where a trained professional helps you to navigate emotional and psychological challenges with specialist techniques and strategies.

Career guidance

Career coaching can help you if you feel stuck in a job you dislike, are facing job insecurity, feeling lost or directionless, wanting to level up, change fields, and more. It can help you get clarity around your goals, strengths, and weaknesses to map out a plan for career success.

What my clients say:

“Carina is amazing, she helped me see through my challenges and break them down in to smaller achievable goals. I also invited her to a staff meeting to explain how she could help my staff with one of her sessions and I 100% see the benefits of work place coaching, it prevents all sorts of challenges. I highly recommend Solutions Coaching.” – Sarah Nyssen.

“Carina helped me get to grips with a challenging workload whilst leading a new team. In doing so we investigated and reaffirmed my motivation and created and reimagined tools to manage the essential balance between my aspirations, the needs of the team and the appropriate leadership to deliver for the Council. Time well invested.” – Chris Choat.

“Based on my experience, I encouraged other colleagues to approach Carina for assistance. They did and reported that their experience was also extremely worthwhile. If you are serious about your personal development, then I too highly recommend that you contact Carina. You will not be disappointed.” – Russell Holden, Finance Manager
