I am passionate about self-awareness and personal growth. My expertise is in positive psychology, relationships, self-care and work/life balance.

Client Experiences
Positive Psychology For Life
“I really enjoyed connecting with different people. It was really helpful to focus on strengths and build upon these rather than looking at weaknesses”
“I have come away with some interesting, thought provoking information. I liked the way you delivered it in an informal way, it’s not just theory it’s practical as well, you made the group feel safe“
Life Coaching
"I was feeling very stuck in my life and Kim’s skill and wisdom have enabled me to explore new paths and view the issues I was experiencing with a new confidence and energy, leading to some unexpected and very positive outcomes."
R.R
“When I started coaching, I had a low-grade feeling; I felt depressed, sad, and anxious. I wanted to be happier and I wanted a better relationship with my husband. Through coaching I have developed greater self-awareness and shed a great deal of self-judgement. I have let go of blame (especially blaming others for how I am feeling) and I am taking greater responsibility for myself.
L.B
I started working with Kim in preparation for my PhD. Kim has helped me to recognise the root causes of my behaviour and empowered me to explore and work on all aspects of my busy life. She has helped me in my academic life and also to gain boundaries with my friends, family and colleagues that were lacking. Her kind, non-judgmental approach to life events allowed me to come to her with a holistic approach bringing every aspect of my world to the forum; this streamlined my thought processes for the PhD and improves my overall enjoyment of life and work. Kim brings far more to the coaching sessions than the help with academic development than I anticipated and I hope that this partnership spans beyond my time as a student.

Walking Coaching
“I found that because we were focused with talking and thinking that I was able to achieve more physically than I would if I was walking alone. I love to be out doors and walking coaching does wonders for my mental health’ Donna D.
