ABOUT

ABOUT CHARLIE

I went into coaching just as "life coaching" was taking off. I was determined to train rigorously and to follow the path of positive psychologists like Robert Biswas-Diener, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Barbara Fredrickson, and Martin Seligman. I did not want to be a "life coach"; instead, I wanted to specialise in applied positive psychology using coaching techniques to support women and teenage girls. I have experienced counselling, therapy, CBT, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis - and even though they all have their distinct place in the seasons of our cognitive and emotional life - positive psychology coaching was what resonated with me the most.

I have an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London and am now pursuing doctoral studies in autism and education at the University of Glasgow. I am also a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, The International Positive Psychology Association and The British Psychological Society. I combine my coaching with teaching and consultancy projects. Prior to embarking on my Master's degree, I had an international career spanning over two decades in Media, not-for-profit and Education. I speak fluent Portuguese and excellent French and have lived and worked across the Continent of Europe for much of my life. I have worked for and collaborated with illustrious pan-European organisations such as UEFA, the European Commission, the European Union Youth Orchestra & The British Council.

 

I now focus specifically on supporting neurodivergent women in business and teenage girls. Most of my clients would self-identify as "autistic high-flyers", "high-functionning autistic women", or "late-diagnosed autistic women". As an autistic woman myself, I use my experience and research alongside my understanding of positive psychology to support these women and girls for short periods of concentrated, goal-oriented psychology coaching.
