Who is Zoé Carroll?
Hi, I’m Zoé, a transformational coach with a lifelong fascination for how people respond under pressure, and what it really takes to thrive when life throws the unexpected.
My approach is rooted in performance science, blending the best of physiology, psychology, and coaching with powerful tools like mindfulness, movement, breathwork, and therapeutic techniques. I don’t believe in fluffy fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. I believe in giving you the tools to understand your body, regulate your nervous system, and rebuild your confidence from the inside out.
From the RAF to the South Downs
My fascination with performance under pressure began during my time in air traffic control in the RAF. There, I saw firsthand how people respond in high-stakes, high-pressure environments—and it sparked a lifelong passion for understanding human behaviour in the moments that matter most.
That led me to study sport and exercise science, where I immersed myself in the mechanics of performance. I’ve supported athletes with sports therapy, massage, and sports psychology, and explored peak states in extreme conditions—from working with skydivers to study how we process fear, to helping ultra-endurance cyclists access flow to perform at their peak.
Later, I spent several years teaching adults and young people, where I honed a gift for working with neurodivergent learners, many of them undiagnosed but deeply creative, sensitive, and capable. That work sharpened my ability to create space for those who don’t always fit the mould. People like you and me.
Now, I bring all of that together to support women going through life transitions, the kind of shifts that can leave you questioning who you are and what you want.
Whether you’re burned out, stuck, starting over, or simply ready to stop playing small, I’ll walk beside you as you rebuild your confidence, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with joy.
I’m also a woman who knows what it means to navigate change. I’m a wife, a mother to two neurodivergent children, and a lifelong learner. I find peace and power in cold water swimming, yoga, and meditation, and I get my energy back on long walks through the South Downs. I believe in living honestly, laughing often, and learning something new at every opportunity.
If you’re in a moment of change, whether chosen or thrust upon you, I’m here to remind you that it’s not the end. It’s the beginning of something powerful.
Let’s help you come home to yourself.
