About Your Relationship Coach – Caroline Burr
Caroline Burr is a specialist relationship coach working with individuals and couples. Her warmth, intelligence, energy and boldness create a safe environment to fully explore relationship, with yourself and between you and your partner.
I’m Caroline, a Relationship Coach
Married with three sons, including twins, Caroline is learning all the time from her own relationships and life, as well as ongoing training and supervision. With one at Uni, one at secondary school and one with EOTAS she is a busy mum, learning how to be there for them through their teen / young adult years and all that brings. With Jonathan, her husband, they share in advocating for and supporting their neurodivergent son, managing much washing, cooking and of course running a teen taxi service!
If you would prefer a male coach, my husband, Jonathan Burr, is at INRelationship. We also sometimes work together with couples.
My Approach
“I’m told my understanding, compassion and creativity are invaluable to clients”
Caroline combines life coaching with systemic relationship training and trauma training in Havening Techniques® and EMDR. Clients benefit as she has a wider base to work from, integrating the positivity of focusing on the life and relationships they want, alongside addressing blocks and patterns related to the past.
Prior to starting coaching in early 2002 and rebranding as ‘Your Relationship Coach’ in 2005, Caroline worked as a Change Management Consultant and in Executive Recruitment with clients such as Microsoft, McKinsey, Cisco & a range of incubators and start-ups.
Relationships help us to learn about ourselves
“Relationships are at the heart of our lives as human beings, they are integral to our happiness. Having struggled with relationships myself, I went in search of answers and wanted to share what had helped me and specialise in relationships“
“I find it is usually a relief for clients to realise that relationships help us learn about ourselves and cannot be ‘perfect’, as much modern media reports.” Accustomed to working with couples on their relationship, Caroline has the ability to manage highly charged sessions. “In helping clients to discover a new awareness and understanding of relationship, I enable them to find stability in themselves and increased confidence, choice and happiness in relationships with others.”
