About me
Hi, I'm Kirsty - Life Coach and Safeguarding Specialist.
Welcome to honesttogoodness.life – where real talk meets real transformation.
With over 25 years in social work and safeguarding, I know what it’s like to be the go-to person when everyone else is running on empty. I’ve spent my career supporting professionals in high-pressure roles and I am now coaching educators, first responders, youth workers, charity leaders, and health and social care teams. These aren’t just job titles - they’re callings, and they come with big responsibilities and even bigger personal and professional emotional tolls.
That’s where coaching comes in.
I trained with The Coaching Academy, and I bring a grounded, no-nonsense approach to personal and professional development. My coaching blends deep empathy, a lifetime of real-world frontline experience, and a belief that even your most impossible goal is absolutely possible, with the right support.
When you coach with me, we’ll work together to:
- Re-define your purpose
- Re-ignite your passion
- Reframe your boundaries
- Restore balance in your life
I also facilitate peer support forums for Designated Safeguarding Leads and integrate coaching into all areas of my professional work. Whether you're burned out, stuck, or simply ready for something new, I’ll help you find clarity and take confident steps forward.
Let’s make space for the version of you that’s been waiting to breathe.
