ICF Ireland's Rising Star of the Year Coach 2023???
I am happy to share?with you that 2023 has been a wonderful year of recognition for my coaching and what a success to?reflect back on.
In November, I was awarded as ICF (International Coaching Federation) Ireland's Rising Star of the Year for 2023 in Trinity College Dublin.
Here is what the judges from other chapters of the ICF worldwide had to say about my nomination:
“Among several impressive Rising Star nominations, Caitríona Farrell shone brightly. Her depth in self-reflection and self-awareness, coupled with her unwavering commitment to growth and development, set her apart. Caitríona's holistic approach to coaching and her dedication to authenticity are truly admirable. As a Rising Star, she has already begun sketching a path towards a future filled with promise and potential.”
My New Website???
2023 also saw another big milestone for me with the launch of my new website where you can book in a session or package on the click of a button and it’s scheduled in both of our calendars.
Have a look yourself with some beautiful photography in Porto, Portugal where I used to live where I reconnected face-to-face with past clients and colleagues… a place where I did a lot of growing in 2017.

My Own Reflections on 2023???
- I have not failed to surprise myself in what I have done to give myself the very meaningful things I have in my life this year.
?- This year I broke a 17 year habit or indeed state which was not serving me, it meant stepping into a space of vulnerability that I had not been despite showing up vulnerable in other aspects of my life. This has given me courage that we have the potential to do anything we want to do even breaking stubborn beliefs we put in place from a long time ago.
?- My support circles have grown and shifted and at all times have remained stable and I am very grateful for those people that support me: my clients, my peers, my own coaches, my family, my friends, my boyfriend and my connections. 2023 has been a year of bereavement, upsetting events and the challenges of being an entrepreneur, I will be forever grateful to those of you who have been present with me.
?- Life is beautiful. I have had the opportunity to spend 2023 between Ireland, Spain, France, Lithuania, Portugal, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia and Thailand. Surrounded by different people, culture and nature makes me feel so alive and what a gift. My work has connected me with many new people this year and I am so grateful to walk the biggest journeys of all with you, the journey in learning more about yourself and walking the path that's best for you.
One of my Poems???
In life coaching, the focus is present to forward thinking. With this, there can also be moments in our past which can push us forward. We can create, visualise and experience a 'good', 'happy', 'successful' moment from our past and even intensify it, moving to new life goals. I'm sharing one of my resourceful circles which was when I took the leap to live on another continent,?Brazil in South America. I wrote this poem in 2015 and now on the opposite side of the Atlantic, share the same spirit in my ventures with my coaching business when I give myself the moments I need and clarity comes, be kind to yourself over the holidays. ??
Wishing you and your loved ones a very very Merry Christmas and a very very Happy & Prosperous 2024! ?
