Pauline Harley, MA.
Independent Coach & Consultant
Research-Informed Practice
I bring together more than a decade of professional experience, academic research and critical inquiry across two connected areas: independent consultancy in workplace health, wellbeing and neurodiversity; and reflective one-to-one work and self-directed learning for people navigating identity, career and life transitions, particularly in midlife and beyond.
My approach supports informed choices, independent thinking and greater personal and professional autonomy in work and life.
Independent Consultancy & Research
Workplace Health, Wellbeing & Neurodiversity
I undertake selected consultancy, research, critical analysis and programme development work, supporting organisations to examine evidence, make informed decisions and develop more inclusive, research-informed practices.

Advocating Autonomy
Independent Coaching • Self-Directed Learning • Perspective Sessions
Through Advocating Autonomy, I explore identity, boundaries, ageing, work and creative agency in the second half of life.
My work includes one-to-one Perspective Sessions, self-directed reflective learning and independent writing for people examining what matters to them and what they want from the next part of their lives.
My professional experience, commentary and perspectives on coaching, workplace wellbeing, neurodiversity and related subjects have been featured in national media and online publications.
