Helen King: coaching start-ups, self-employment, marketing, succession.
About me
Coaching or mentoring with me is underpinned with a business background, 14 years as a psychotherapeutic-counsellor and 5 years as a Professional Coach. I am currently a director of a service company and a financial/investment trustee. Strong on life experience, I am a well-resourced catalyst for your thoughts, goals and actions.
Specialising in:
- self-employed ventures - are you going it alone?
- start-ups - focusing on launching the "idea" not getting bogged down in the admin
- marketing communications & strategy - unsure what to do and how to do it? - or even why you need to do it?
- business succession - gaining clarity and making best choices
My aim is to help you get some longevity into your decisions and actions - so that you're not going round in circles or losing focus
My personal style is straightforward and objective. I am known for my fairness and being able to see both the woods and the trees.
