How Cairns Coaching was Born
Cairns Coaching was born out of a desire to improve the health and wellbeing services of small and medium-sized organisations - those who may not have the resources for traditional Employee Assistance Programs, therapists, or lengthy, complex contracts. We aim to be your go-to partner for addressing both the everyday and more significant challenges your team faces, ensuring they remain healthy, engaged, and productive.
Beneath every surface-level issue your leadership may observe lies a deeper cause that often cannot be addressed within the workplace. Therapy isn’t the right fit for everyone, and coaching can be a powerful solution.
Coaching is essential to unlocking the full potential of both your people and your organisation.
As Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”
The best workplaces are built on a culture where both leadership and employees take responsibility for wellbeing, growth, and performance. That’s where we come in.
We bridge the gap with practical, innovative, and flexible coaching solutions that help your teams develop self-awareness, set clear boundaries, and take ownership of their success - because when people thrive, organisations do too.

Why coaching matters - A word from our Founder
"When individuals are at their best, they contribute to the collective wellbeing, and the world becomes a better place."
"I founded Cairns Coaching because I believe that the key to success lies in the wellbeing of every individual and team. I wanted to offer a range of coaching solutions that support a reduction in stress, a more positive mindset, and a healthier lifestyle for happier employees.
Our mission is to build healthy, productive and engaged teams, and to create a lasting impact that drives positive change within and beyond the workplace."
- Sophie Anderson
Our Philosophy
At the core of our philosophy lies the knowledge that while employers have a critical responsibility for the health and safety of their employees at work, this responsibility does not extend into their personal lives.
While therapy offered through employee assistance programs (EAPs) is valuable, it is not needed and desired by everyone. Beyond healing, individuals need opportunities for continuous growth and development to reach their full potential. Enhanced wellbeing through education and coaching translates to better health, engagement, and productivity in the workplace.
🌿 We believe that coaching is necessary to create truly thriving workplaces.
When individuals and businesses prioritise wellness, they create a ripple effect of positive change, contributing to a healthier and more positive world.
It is our passion to share this philosophy with you, and to empower our clients through our services.
