Life Coaching

After running many courses in schools and working with parents, I realised that it is not enough to teach a subject or skill. What people needed was to have esteem and to believe in themselves. To believe that they can succeed. Without this, people are not motivated, for what is the point if they feel they are going to fail anyway? Put in a belief that they are strong, capable and their efforts will be rewarded and suddenly a new world opens up. Whether it is children that bully, teenagers failing their courses, parents needing to learn parenting skills, or many professionals in various fields exhausting themselves trying to be happy but not quite succeeding, the same applies. If we are to achieve and to find a healthy way to be happy, it is essential that we are esteemed and have faith in ourselves.

I have worked with yr 7 – 11 children, teenagers, parents and professionals and essentially I use the same techniques and strategies ( adapted for the relevant age and ability).

I have two main services:

  1. Courses:
    a. Building blocks to Happiness Course, (adult's version).

    b. The Power Course, (children's version).

    The courses look at what motivates people to behave in various ways and to recognise that a lot of strategies, despite taking up time, effort and money, just do not work. The course explains what does work.
    The courses are 10 hours long, 5 x2 weekly sessions.

  2. One-to-one sessions. (for over 18 yrs only)

    These sessions go through the same material at a slower and more thorough pace for certain people. The advantage is that work is tailor made to the individual needs. Negative beliefs can be immediately challenged and destroyed, which cannot happen in a group setting. The exercises are fun. It is not as hard hitting as it sounds but the impact is huge. There are guidelines as to who can attend e.g. not for those receiving therapy.
    Sessions last for an hour.

I only work for organisations at their venues. I am hired and paid by the organisations and have a contract with them.
I follow the client's agenda. I agree to provide a brief synopsis of work at the end, but the sessions remain confidential. I will not provide reports, for example for meetings, without permission of the client.

Client Testimonials

I believe the self-esteem has done wonders for me and my approaches and techniques to deal with different situations and my own way of thinking. Definitely recommend to anyone. M.

When I first came I was confused. When I see Kim I forget my stress and problems. T.

I found the course very helpful and has given me a lot of strategies/ideas on improving my self-esteem and therefore my life in general. Kim was an excellent tutor who explained everything very well and really encouraged us all to feel better about ourselves because we are worth it. J.

I was worried all the time. Now the worry has gone. I couldn't sleep because of stress. I've learnt not to get stressed. I've learnt to organise and plan my life. I feel OK. I can take control. B.

I have found the course very rewarding and have learnt a lot of things that before I didn't think mattered (to care about my life and what matters to me). I would also like to thank Kim who is an excellent teacher. J.

I feel empowered and more able to deal with situations which I have found stressful. L.

The one-to-one sessions helped me to understand myself individually. After 2 yrs of hell I was tired, chaotic, not coping, passive and being walked on and hating myself for it. I had no self-belief, no-confidence and no self-esteem. The one-to–one sessions changed my life around. I am much more organised. I have time for me. I love me. I’m more assertive, positive, content and each day brings more confidence and self-esteem.

Kim has a magical way of showing me that I can do it and that it is me doing it.
