We specialise in helping professional people in all aspects of their life both personally and professionally to enhance performance and unlock their true potential.

You might be looking to grow in confidence and productivity, get clarity on your goals, start something new, develop as a manager or leader, get a better work/life balance or simply need time and space to think.

Our individual programmes are tailored to your unique personal needs and requirements.

Treating you with the utmost confidentiality, we create a friendly, non-judgemental safe place for you to discuss, tease out ideas, problem solve and identify solutions. Using a mix of coaching and mentoring, we will listen, challenge, guide and support you, raising awareness and perspective to help you make decisions on how to achieve your goals. We will explore those attitudes, behaviours, values and beliefs that are holding you back and stopping you from doing the things that you want to do.

Sessions are flexible but normally last 60 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on your preference and the subject matter. Our practice is consistent with the code of professional practice set out in the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) code of ethics. A coaching/mentoring agreement is mutually agreed before we begin each programme.

We recognise the importance of working with a coach and or mentor that is a good fit for your needs so offer a free 30 minute consultation to help you discuss your exact requirements and answer any questions you may have.

Working with Ciaran and Rachel was extremely beneficial. We established a rapport very quickly thanks to their openness and understanding. This coupled with their incisive questioning enabled the creation of a focused strategy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Woodhazel Consulting (DL)

I felt I was at a standstill with my career, which was negatively feeding into my personal life. Ciaran’s compassion, empathy, experience and engagement has allowed me to turn things around and provide the clarity I needed to be a happier version of myself.

I was working through a bit of change in my career. Our conversations helped me see my situation from different perspectives. We talked through various scenarios and identified opportunities I hadn’t considered before. Communication is informal and supportive, and they are very approachable. I highly recommend WoodHazel to anyone who is looking for support to improve their career. (DC)
