About Me
My name is Kim, thank you for visiting my website.
In order for you to trust me as your life coach, it’s only fair that you should know a little bit about me.
My career journey started working as Cabin Crew for British Airways, which is also where my curiosity of people first manifested itself. I often watched people who sat looking worried, frightened and caught up in life, rather than looking out of the window and dreaming about their destination.
I also discovered that there is no greater place to meet people from all walks of life, than in the captive space of an aeroplane. After 8 years, I met my husband on a flight to Charlotte where he discovered my inability to make decent tea, my hatred of window shopping and later rescued me on a snowy and icy morning in Gatwick, locked out of my frozen car trying to remove the ice with a Neil Diamond cassette!
We were lucky that despite this strange meeting we went on to marry and have two amazing boys. I stopped work to look after them until my youngest went to school.
It was time to reinvent my life and find the career of my dreams. I finished my degree and trained to be a teacher whilst the children were at school. I adored teaching psychology, but my greatest passion and purpose was helping young people with a variety of problems and issues that modern life throws at them. I wanted to enable these young people to thrive and enjoy their lives to the full. It wasn’t enough to sort out the problems, it was important to make them happier, more at peace, motivated, confident, and resilient.
It was during this time that I began to realise my work/life balance had no balance.
After ten years of teaching, I was finding myself working till very late at night, always carrying marking with me and my head was full all the time. I became distracted, stopped saying “yes’ to things I loved, and never felt present. There were things I wanted to know about, things I wanted to try, places I wanted to visit and most importantly, people I wanted to spend time with.
It was time to look at my life and make some changes.
So, here I am
I have recently completed my Masters Degree in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology at the University of East London and graduated with the most amazing people at the age of 50. I have passion and purpose in my coaching practice, and I am an EMCC accredited Senior Practitioner. I love watching people transform over their coaching period and make real changes that make them feel whole, uplifted, and excited. I enjoy seeing people find their passion and practice gratitude and live their lives driven by their own agenda. I am also starting a supervision service to help coaches in their practices.

I am still reinventing myself, my business and my life and I am encouraging others to do so.
