Paul Woodward is a Professional Coach and Founder of Calm 7 Coaching Ltd
With a career rooted in coaching, consultancy, leadership and supervision, Paul brings a calm, insightful presence to every conversation, helping people and professionals across the UK thrive in today’s dynamic and busy landscape.
Paul is an EMCC UK accredited transformational coach, based in Dorset, working virtually and face to face across the United Kingdom.
Calm 7 Coaching was created to offer individuals and organisations space to pause, reflect, and think differently in a fast-moving world. Amid constant demands and rapid change, it provides a moment of clarity—an opportunity to reconnect and invest in personal or professional growth.
My coaching approach is thoughtful and grounded, prioritising quality time for development. Whether working one-to-one or with groups, I focus on helping people build resilience and a calm mindset for the future.
With a BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance and qualifications in Transformational Coaching, Financial Services, and Ethics, I blend commercial insight with a deep understanding of human growth. My work is anchored in fairness, professionalism, and a commitment to real, lasting change.
As a certified Mental Health First Aider, I’m a strong advocate for balancing performance with wellbeing. I engage regularly in Group Coaching Supervision, EMCC events, and CPD activities to ensure my practice stays reflective, ethical, and impactful.
At Calm 7 Coaching, I help people connect more deeply, grow with confidence, and navigate meaningful transformation. While embracing the potential of AI to support coaching, I keep human connection at the core of every decision.
Based in the Dorset countryside, I enjoy a balanced family life with my wife and three children. The tranquillity of my surroundings informs the calm, centred approach I bring to every conversation.
I am passionate about enabling growth, resilience, and high-impact leadership. I frequently dedicate time to mentoring 14–18-year-olds in London schools, through Local Village Network (Registered Charity 1161275), guiding future leaders with empathy and encouragement.
