Explore, Discover, Action & Achieve

A confidential, empowering space to pause, reflect, and explore what’s next.

You are unique, and clients come to me for many reasons. I create space for you to pause and reflect, enabling you to reassess and discover new purpose and joy as you navigate life’s stages.

I’ll guide you to identify your values and strengths, aligning them to your goals for authentic growth.

You will gain clarity on what’s holding you back so you can progress forward. Through zoom calls or in person by agreement, we will tackle your distractions such as overwhelm, procrastination, uncertainty, emotions, and limiting beliefs. With raised self-awareness and confidence you will have a plan to get back on track. Flourish with renewed energy and excitement to live a happy, fulfilled and balanced life.

ABOUT ME

Get unstuck with powerful 60-minute sessions tailored to your current goals and challenges.

Life coaching for women who want to feel more confident and energised

I am a qualified Life Coach with a passion for helping women achieve their best lives.

I know what it’s like to have multiple competing priorities and feel stuck when trying to progress. Equally I see the opportunities to reassess and realign my purpose with my values and strengths as I have navigated through stages of life. I’ve been a quarter lifer fresh out of university, career developer, a full-time mum and a returning to work mum. I’m currently a working mum with a busy family life and three children of various ages. My empty nest stage is nudging closer. Which stage are you at?

My passion for coaching and development spans multiple decades, including my interests and studies at university. I have since complemented this with further qualifications in life coaching and developing my own personal framework to successfully guide my clients through exploration to achievement. I remain highly active and engaged with coaching networks and accredited training providers to keep up to date with the very latest insights in order to best support you. I have an active interest in Coaching Psychology, nature and the environment we live in.

I can’t wait to hear from you.

Work through uncertainty and reconnect with your strengths to move forward with purpose.

Signature life coaching programme for personal development and fulfilment

Coaching with Kirsty empowered me to take small but impactful steps to reduce the overwhelm, quiet the self-judgement, and focus on what was truly right for both myself and my family. What started as a desire to bring more joy and fun to family life has now led to a much more balanced and fulfilling dynamic.

Emma K
I brought a wide range of goals to our coaching sessions and Kirsty helped me to reframe and reflect in a way that brought me greater clarity and motivation. Her coaching allowed me to achieve both practical and internal goals while empowering me to continue to self coach after our sessions ended. Kirsty has a calm, reassuring presence and she held the space for me beautifully. Kirsty is excellent at raising awareness and coaching was extremely useful and enjoyable. She is extremely professional and reliable and I highly recommend coaching with Kirsty.

Beth S
Kirsty’s warm and empathetic approach made coaching feel like a natural, open conversation where I could be completely honest about my true feelings. Her supportive yet thought-provoking questions helped me make meaningful changes in my family life by shifting my mindset and finding the balance I had been seeking.

Emma W
The sessions have helped me feel less stuck and have encouraged me to push myself to achieve my goals. I am extremely thankful to Kirsty for the sessions we have had together as I have found them very eye opening and a good way to stretch myself. I enjoyed that Kirsty very much let me lead the discussion and she really engaged with any topics I would bring to her.

EF
I would rate Kirsty 10/10 for how insightful and awareness raising the sessions are - she would help me think of things that I could not have done alone. I would rate Kirsty’s sessions 10/10 for enjoyment - I would always leave feeling happy, positive, motivated and as though I had the tools I needed to make change in my life. Kirsty is very thoughtful, kind, confidential and encouraging which always made me feel completely comfortable when talking to her. Thank you, Kirsty! I cannot thank Kirsty enough for the tools and wisdom she has provided me! I feel I am very much closer to making positive change in my career specifically and life in general due to the dedication and commitment of Kirsty as a life coach.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I have never worked with a coach before, are the packages beginner friendly?

Together we tailor your sessions uniquely for you. Come as you are and we take it from there. They are indeed as beginner friendly as you require. I will gauge and adjust for you so when you’re ready to be stretched we can do that too.

What happens after I contact you?

I’ll email or call you to arrange and confirm a 30 minute zoom call to discuss your requirements and what I can offer you through our coaching time together. You don’t pay for this session so hopefully that’s a good start for you. As long as we are both happy to proceed, after the zoom call, I will send you some documents to get you started, a contract and any details we have spoken about.

What do I need to prepare for each session?

If you would like to work through a specific goal come with that in mind. If you’re not sure where to begin please come as you are and we will take it from there. Always bring something to record your notes with – eg pen, paper, computer, and a drink.

Do all the sessions get booked in at the same time?

Whichever way works for you. I will happily book all your sessions at the start of our journey or as we go a week or two ahead.

What happens in between each session?

Your personal growth continues between sessions. You will keep developing your insights and self awareness to move you forward. You will complete actions that you set yourself in the sessions noting or recognising hurdles and successes. You will see your progress and hopefully look forward to your next session.
