Professional Executive Coaching Services.

Wellflow offers executive coaching for professionals in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York through a fully virtual service model. The practice works with senior leaders, founders and high performing professionals who want clearer thinking stronger leadership presence and more sustainable performance. Executive coaching is provided by an ICF-accredited Executive Coach with a strong understanding of leadership decision making organizational dynamics and professional responsibility.

Virtual executive coaching sessions offer meaningful advantages for professionals in major cities. Online delivery allows greater scheduling flexibility reduces travel time and supports consistency despite demanding roles frequent travel or changing time zones. Virtual sessions also provide discretion and focus while maintaining the same depth quality and effectiveness as in person coaching. For many leaders virtual executive coaching makes it easier to engage in reflective strategic work while integrating coaching into the realities of professional life.

Executive coaching is focused on leadership performance decision making and professional effectiveness and while it may involve reflective conversation it is not a substitute for therapy or mental health treatment which requires a separate therapeutic relationship and clinical scope of care.

The ROI of Working With an Executive Coach Who Is Also a Psychologist

Executive coaching is no longer a nice to have. For senior leaders, founders, and executives operating under sustained pressure, it is a performance intervention. The question is not whether coaching works. The question is what kind of coaching produces measurable, durable results. Our value proposition sits at the intersection of psychology, business, and organizational leadership. This combination is rare, and it matters.

A Dual Lens: Human Behaviour and Business Performance

As a Registered Psychologist with an MBA, Carolyn is trained to assess and treat the underlying psychological patterns that drive behaviour under pressure. This includes decision fatigue, avoidance, emotional reactivity, perfectionism, conflict avoidance, and burnout trajectories.

As an executive coach, Carolyn understands how those patterns show up inside real organizations, with real constraints, real power dynamics, and real consequences. This dual lens allows her to work at both the individual and organizational context level, without losing sight of performance expectations. Most executive challenges are not skills gaps. They are regulation gaps. Leaders know what to do. The work is helping them consistently do it under complexity, ambiguity, and interpersonal risk.

Quantified Outcomes That Matter to Executives

Across executive coaching and therapy engagements, the outcomes tracked most closely are behavioural and organizational, not just subjective insight.

Clients often experience:

  • 30 to 50 percent improvement in decision speed within the first 90 days, driven by reduced rumination, clearer prioritization, and stronger tolerance for uncertainty

  • 25 to 40 percent reduction in stress related symptoms, including sleep disruption, irritability, and emotional exhaustion, as measured through standardized psychological scales

  • Improved leadership effectiveness scores within one performance cycle, often reflected in 360 feedback, engagement surveys, or board input

  • Meaningful reductions in interpersonal friction, particularly in executive team dynamics and high stakes conversations

  • Lower burnout risk, with leaders sustaining performance without relying on overwork as a coping strategy

At the organizational level, this often translates into reduced regretted turnover, stronger succession readiness, and fewer costly leadership derailments.

Why Credentials Matter at the Executive Level

Carolyn’s credentials are not decorative. They shape how the work is done.

As a Registered Psychologist, she works within evidence based frameworks and ethical standards. This allows for deeper, clinically informed work when anxiety, trauma history, or chronic stress patterns are present, without fragmenting coaching and therapy. As an ICF accredited Executive Coach, Carolyn brings structured goal setting, accountability, and performance orientation. With an MBA and CPHR and SHRM designations, Carolyn brings a strong understanding of organizational systems, governance, risk, and people strategy. This grounds the work in real business contexts rather than abstract theory.

This integration means clients do not need to choose between performance coaching and psychological safety. They get both, appropriately calibrated.

What Makes This Work Different

Many executives are high functioning and inwardly exhausted. Traditional therapy can feel disconnected from the realities of leadership. Traditional coaching can stay too cognitive and miss the emotional drivers of behaviour.

The work Carolyn does focuses on:

  • Regulating the nervous system under sustained load

  • Strengthening leadership presence in high consequence moments

  • Improving interpersonal effectiveness across power dynamics

  • Sustaining performance without burnout

The result is not just insight, but behavioural change that holds under pressure.

The Bottom Line

Executives do not need more advice. They need a thought partner who understands how humans behave under stress, how organizations actually function, and what performance costs when leaders are dysregulated. When psychology, coaching, and organizational insight are integrated, the return shows up where it matters most: in decisions, relationships, retention, and long term leadership capacity. That is the value proposition.
