About me

Ever felt like you're waiting in the wings of your own life? You're not alone. I've been there. I know what it’s like to play a role on the outside and feel lost on the inside. That’s why I do this work.

Studio Self offers creative, solution-focused coaching to help individuals overcome personal blocks, manage anxiety, and build lasting confidence. Whether you're navigating ADHD, low self-esteem or a career shift, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back.  and help you move forward with clarity, focus and energy. I help you reconnect with who you are, reframe what’s possible, and build a life that feels like yours. This is personal development that makes a real difference.

What you get & why it works:

  • Coaching grounded in psychology. Our phenomenological and dialogic approach helps you explore your values, mindset and obstacles to create lasting personal change.
  • Coaching that goes beneath the surface and gives you tools for real-life results.
  • Vision boarding, improvisation and breath control work alongside coaching to unlock clarity, resilience and inspired action.
  • Support for everyday life that meets you where you are
  • Whether managing stress, building relationships, or stepping into new life roles, you gain tools to stay grounded, clear and confident.
  • Evidence-based techniques that explore mindset, emotion and behaviour to create real, lasting change.
  • Sessions are tailored to your mind, your pace and your goals, especially if you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety or burnout.

What is in it for you?

  • Confidence that shifts how you walk into rooms and speak up for yourself
  • A stronger sense of who you are and where you’re going
  • Renewed focus, energy and clarity.

Don't take my word for it:

"Meeting with Krissi has dramatically improved my confidence and self-awareness. She has a remarkable ability to ask questions that help you discover answers you didn't know you had within you. Through our sessions, she helped me reach my realisations and explore the emotions and reasoning behind my thoughts and beliefs. I'm deeply grateful for my time with Krissi and how she's helped me discover fresh perspectives. The benefits are already evident in my career progression." - MW, Head of Design.

"Working with Studio Self has been amazing! My mentor knew exactly what to ask to help me discover things I never thought of. She listened carefully & picked up on details, making me feel truly heard & understood. She is dedicated and passionate about her work, offering strong support for anyone in a creative career. Her guidance created a safe and inspiring space where I found not only the answers that I needed but also the confidence to pursue what I love. I can't recommend Studio Self enough - it’s the best!" - Aurelie, Spacial | Set Designer

"My life came into focus after just a few sessions with Krissi. She is kind, supportive and focused. She was able to help me see clear paths towards my acting goals, and I will never be able to thank her enough." - Amber, Actor.

"Working with Krissi has been transformative for both me and my approach to work. Krissi's expertise in identifying and addressing the blocks that were holding me back was impressive. Her guidance is gentle yet highly effective, providing a personalised and supportive coaching experience. If you're looking for a coach who truly understands and tailors their methods to your needs, then I highly recommend working with Krissi." - Pip, Garden Designer.
