Cristina La Cara

I am available within office hours and out of office hours for early sessions. Also available at weekends for training sessions. 

I provide a non-judgemental space and support learner's needs by addressing not only the content of the training but also the process of learning and what gets in the way.

I research each subject to add to my existing knowledge of systems, organisations and psychology.

I provide training and workshops to individuals and organisations around trauma informed practice, system thinking and theories, psychological safety, conflict resolution, listening and collaboration within teams.

My workshops are interactive and based on a practice learning and adult learning approach. I work in collaboration in designing the workshops to make sure they are as tailored as possible to the audience.

I have worked in organisations for over 20 yrs and then moved to independent practice. I have a vast understanding of organisational dynamics and psychology, which will underpin every training session I provide.

I provide an initial free consultation to have a brief understanding of your training needs. If I feel it is something I can support with and you feel happy with my approach we would agree a contract and proceed with a longer consultation to go over the brief. I will ask questions and maybe challenge you a bit to help refine the outcome you would like to achieve. 

I have availability most days and can be flexible. 

I offer early and late appointments to fit in with your work and family commitments. 

As a therapeutic coach, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where reflection meets transformation. With over two decades of experience in healthcare and leadership, I support individuals navigating change, burnout, identity, and belonging, especially those whose voices have been marginalised or overlooked. 

My coaching blends emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and intersectional awareness. Whether you're a leader seeking to model healthy boundaries, a professional facing restructuring, or someone longing for authentic connection, I help you align with your values and reclaim your agency.

Together, we explore your story with curiosity and care. I draw from a variety of approaches including psychodynamic, transactional analysis and cognitive behavioural therapy amongst others. I also use a deep understanding or organisational dynamics and change to support clients at work.

Sessions are collaborative, creative, and deeply respectful. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, with a particular commitment to racial equity, neurodiversity, and inclusive practice. If you're ready to lead from within and build a life that feels true, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

For therapeutic coaching clients, I offer an initial assessment session of 90 minutes and then continue with 60 minutes sessions.
