LIFE COACHING
Make your why bigger than your fear
Do you find yourself trapped in your thoughts? Are you exhausted from constantly trying to fit in? Do you often feel stressed or burned out and struggling to find balance in your life? My mission is to surface your invisibles, and help you to transform from the inside out to become the best version of yourself.
Living your life purpose
MY COACHING STORY
I am passionate about serving the communities in which I belong. This includes working with those people that identify as ADHD or Autistic, (although I prefer the term turbo thinkers!), people within the LGBTQ+ community, those that may be at risk of career burn out, and leaders looking to bring forward their authentic style, and align their values with their impact.
I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (advanced SE trainee), and an Internal Family Systems informed coach. I work within businesses providing wellbeing coaching and leadership coaching to individuals at all levels from graduates to CEO's and C-suite executives. I have a private coaching practice. I also deliver Hero's Journey workshops in prisons.
My background is in construction consultancy, where I experienced multiple burn outs, before becoming a life coach. I am a recovering people pleaser and restless hyper achiever. I am a champion of neuro-diversity. I work with the whole spectrum of the human experience, unmasking strengths, empowering wisdom, cultivating leadership.
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING
A journey of discovery
A Life Coach will assist you in achieving that dream life, creating and holding the sacred space for you to 'be' and grow. We all have fears and limiting beliefs. My job as coach is to hold you as capable, creative and resourceful, to shine a light on your magnificence, and stand with you in a place of spaciousness, creativity and possibility.
Just like a personal trainer will help you to train your muscles for growth, a life coach will help you to build a vision for the future, champion you, give you acknowledgement and accountability, and help you to stretch and grow.
A life coach is also the diver after your pearls. Everything you need to know is right there deep inside you, and with each coaching session you discover more and more of your hidden gems, allowing dramatic and immediate change. There is nothing to say that a caterpillar finds it pleasant to shed its cocoon to become a butterfly. To what are you attached, that if you let go, would set you free?
MY COACHING STYLE
Helping you to forward and deepen
I bring a holistic approach to my coaching that integrates cognitive, emotional and embodied intelligence. My core strengths are my honesty, empathy, and intuition. I coach using a blended approach that is multi-disciplinary.
As a certified professional Co-Active Coach, I hold the belief that everyone is naturally creative, resourceful and whole. My approach is to focus on the whole person, not the label. By listening deeply, and asking powerful questions, I am able to focus your attention on what really matters to you.
As a Somatic Experiencing (SE) informed coach, I help clients to tune into their bodily sensations, process their experiences, restore coherence and allow the body's natural healing processes to take over.
As an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed coach, I hold the view that self is a complex system of different parts. By working to understand and integrate these parts, individuals can achieve a greater sense of wholeness and balance in their lives.

CLIENTS
Who do I work with
I have coached clients from a range of different backgrounds, including property and construction professionals, the creative industries, tech start ups, large corporations, entrepreneurs, small business owners and students. I've helped them develop a better understanding of who they are, where they want to get to, and how to get there.
The work I do with neurodivergent communities includes unmasking strengths, managing challenges, strengthening executive functioning skills and giving people the hope that they can make a positive difference through owning their uniqueness.
TESTIMONIALS
“Kevin's coaching helped me more open about who I am and be more comfortable in my own space. My experience with Kevin was definitely enlightening for all the thoughts I had on the back burner. Kevin really brought these issues upfront and helped me deal with them in a very adult and professional manner. I feel it has set a foundation for me to continue on a good path. ”
"Kevin has been my coach for the past 6 months, and has supported me through some big changes in my life. Kevin is an attentive listener, and has a knack for asking the right questions that really make me think from a new perspective. This has helped guide my decision making and unlock areas where I was stuck. Kevin has taught me to temper my negative thoughts and listen to the real voice in my head. He has helped me to come to a place where I value myself, and made me realise that I have the power to choose".
“My session with Kevin was fantastic. I was able to clearly outline what was important to me in my career and life with his methodology and support. I also found it super helpful to hear what he saw in my body language about what I was most passionate about - something that's truly helped me in which direction to take moving forward.”
“Kevin's coaching was great. He helped me to visualise my current reality where I was able to see new perspectives. Furthermore it was creative and fun, where I was able to set up some clear next steps and personal agreements with myself. It was a motivating and calming experience that help ground me back into the present. Thank you Kevin for your support”
"Would like to take a moment to show appreciation to Kevin for his service and to highlight a confidentiality issue which we navigated carefully as a result of Kevin's coaching. Kevin, your empathy and kindness are powerful. You are deeply appreciated!"
Experiencing life is fun. The warm glow of the sun, the cleaning drop of the rain and the pleasuring blow of the wind fill us up with enlivening vitality. Kevin, with his limitless patience, bottomless heart and professional skills had guided me through the hardest bit on my path when I needed the most. Thank you, Kevin.
"I joined the group workshop hosted by Kevin about 'Finding Your Why', and I felt really mind-blowing by the way Kevin took us, to explore about values, goals and time management tools to reach goals. I also developed some trust to Kevin. I wanted to work with a coach to share some inner feelings, to improve myself, and to have some more support, thus I decided to have further coaching sessions with Kevin".
