Caring for others shouldn’t come at the cost of yourself.

You can be good at your job and still feel overwhelmed by it.

You can care deeply about your patients and struggle to find time for yourself. You can be capable, experienced and committed to your work, yet find yourself stretched between competing demands, professional expectations and a life outside the hospital or clinic.

In healthcare, putting others first comes with the territory. But when does it come at a cost?

At Coaching for Healthcare, we believe healthcare professionals deserve the same care and support they give to others. Not just when things reach breaking point, but throughout their careers.

Built on an understanding of healthcare

Led by Gail Carmody, Coaching for Healthcare draws on decades of clinical and executive experience to support the people behind the profession. We understand that the pressures facing healthcare professionals are rarely simple, and that meaningful change needs to account for the realities of the system they work in.

Whether you’re navigating a demanding role, feeling stretched too thin or rethinking what you want from your career, coaching offers a confidential space to explore your options and find a way forward.

You look after everyone else.
Let’s make space for you, too.

You don’t have to wait until you’re burnt out to seek support. Sometimes, the most useful step is simply having the time and space to think.

A different kind of support

Coaching gives you the space to step back, think clearly and work out what needs to change. It helps you recognise what matters, navigate difficult decisions, set boundaries and develop practical strategies for the challenges you face at work and beyond.

This isn’t about asking you to do more with less, or simply telling you to practise self-care, but more about helping you find a way of working and living that is both meaningful and sustainable.

What People Are Saying

  • General Practitioner, Melbourne

    “Coaching for Healthcare was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend. Gail provided the right mix of compassion and encouragement for me to make necessary changes and to learn and grow. I initially started coaching to improve my confidence with interviews. I feel that I have improved confidence in this area but also across several areas of my life, in career and personal life. Coaching helped me gain clarity regarding my long term goals (personal and professional) and helped me cultivate habits that are supportive of those goals.”

  • Resident Medical Officer, Canberra Hospital

    "As medical professionals we are supposed to diagnose and treat disease. But many young doctors - myself included - are amateurs when it comes to professional staples such as self promotion, self advocacy, job applications, interviews, finances, and general life skills. Whether you like it or not, these soft skills often determine the course of your career far more than your technical knowledge and abilities. For this reason, it makes a lot of sense to have someone like Gail, who understands this way of looking at the world, in your corner. In my own job application process the structure, accountability, and authority she provided was invaluable. And when you consider how long and how hard you work in your job, and how much money you make, it makes sense to spend a little bit of that money, time, and effort improving your own condition for a change."

  • S Piper RN, Adelaide SA

    “I lacked clarity around why I used procrastination as an avoidance mechanism and never seemed to get anything finished or accomplished in my personal life as a Nurse. 

    I found coaching with Coaching for Healthcare gave me the ability to create new insights which enabled me to find peace with myself and in certain areas of my life. I really appreciated you sharing your different perspectives and encouraged me to see things from a different perspective. I would highly recommend Coaching for Healthcare.”

  • Intern, Sydney

    “As a junior intern in a large busy Public Hospital I realised I had to start making choices if I was to become a Cardiologist with an opportunity to have a mixed appointment of Public and Private Practice. I was experiencing great stress, uncertainty, anxiety and even feeling some degree of depression with no knowing how to negotiate the path. Six weeks into my coaching I have already learnt some skills and techniques to manage and decrease my stress and anxiety. Coaching has been so worthwhile for me I realised I can believe in my own potential.”
