THINKING PARTNERSHIPS
When people come to me
These are the moments that bring people to a thinking partnership
When ideas need focus
You're juggling opportunities, priorities and decisions and need space to step back, think clearly and choose what actually matters.
When business is evolving
Growth, change, or new ambitions mean shaping the next chapter with intention before the pace overtakes the plan.
When vision needs articulating
You know what you're building but can't quite say it yet. You need to clarify your story, values and direction so others can follow.
FOUNDERS

You're building something. Whether you're just starting out, navigating a pivot, or running something that's grown beyond its original shape, this work helps you get clear on where you're going, how you talk about it, and what to focus on next.

For Individuals, Career Changes & Young people
Life has pinch points. Moments when the path forward isn't clear, confidence has taken a knock, or something needs to change but you're not sure what. This work helps you find the words for who you are, what you're worth, and what comes next.
TEAMS & ORGANISATIONS

Speech Club
Co -Founder
Kirstin was fantastic in enabling us to create a clear vision for where we wanted our business to go and how we could realistically get there. She helped create a safe space for us to share our wildest dreams for our business and our individual motivations as co-founders. The headspace that it afforded us was invaluable. We regularly use the markers and information developed in this one session to keep momentum. The session was both fun and fruitful. We walked away with a clear strategic planned better clarity on each other and our business. We would highly recommend a session with Kirstin to any new business juggling priorities and looking to find focus.
Kaaren Buchanan Founder
Working with Kirstin has been invaluable for my jewellery business. When I started, I felt overwhelmed trying to keep the business moving while continually developing new collections. Kirstin helped me put structure and order around my ideas, which brought much needed clarity and focus. Through our sessions, I’ve developed a clearer brand identity and a more confident sense of direction. Her approach is calm and grounding, and I always leave our conversations feeling lighter, more organised, and reassured about the path I’m on. Kirstin has a real understanding of long term vision and what it takes to build a business thoughtfully and sustainably. I’d highly recommend her to creative business owners who want clarity without noise, and structure without losing their individuality.

Kirstin helped me to think outside the box to articulate a plan to grow my business. I was juggling lots of different ideas. She helped me to map out and focus on the priorities that would deliver and unlock growth. She helped me articulate why and how I show up as a business so that as I started to grow and hand over responsibilities to new employees or franchisees I could trust that my vision and values were being upheld. The activities were fun, fast and rewarding. I was surprised at how much I got out of the session. I would recommend Kirstin to any founder looking to get focused and feel more in control.

Kirstin is responsive, organised, and refreshingly straight-talking. She says what needs to be said, pushing you into discomfort and guiding the tough conversations needed to uncover points of tension. Her coaching and laser-sharp focus on strategy gave our leadership team crystal clarity—first on our growth strategy and second on the behaviours needed to drive real change. I’d recommend Kirstin to any CEO or team leader looking for a coach and facilitator. She brings strategic awareness, honest feedback, and creativity to a process designed to drive meaningful change. She helped us problem-solve, co-create our values, and define the behaviours that underpin them. Kirstin was transformative in how we explored our 'Stay Playful' value, connecting us to it through unique activities, the theory of play, and hands-on experimentation. She also introduced us to the power of observation—using photography and art to help us practice and embody our 'Nudge, Don’t Judge' value
Island Energy Group CEO
I knew what I wanted to say but I wanted the day to be fun, different and truly memorable. As a busy CEO, it’s hard to find time to plan an offsite, let alone make it stand out. Kirstin helped bring my ideas to life. Designing and facilitating two full-company All Hands that were creative, engaging and completely seamless from start to finish. She mapped out the agenda, helped book speakers, and made sure the whole day ran without a hitch. The feedback from employees was fantastic. I’ll absolutely work with her again.
WWF
Director
Kirstin made a life changing difference to my confidence, helping me tackle head-on, the imposter syndrome challenges that I faced in my new role as a Director. We worked through multiple real life scenarios, which encompassed elements of my work and personal life. I know use the tools, lessons and insights I learnt to guide how I respond (not react). We worked together for 9 months and I know it'll positively impact my life and career forever. Kirstin's approach is kind, clear and fun. She wants to help you be your best version and has the ability to leave you feeling really good about yourself She had a way of pulling things out of me that I never knew I had in me.
Island Energy Group
Director
Kirstin just ‘got me’—immediately and without judgment. In our sessions, she truly listened, reflected back what she heard, and held up a metaphorical mirror, helping me see myself more clearly. Her tools and techniques for change are simple yet powerful, and I’ve found them just as useful in life as in work. She’s helped me better understand who I am, how to pause and manage my knee-jerk reactions, and—importantly—how to be kinder to myself along the way. I’ve walked away with greater self-awareness and a kitbag of techniques to support my continued growth. It’s not easy, and often uncomfortable, but I now understand that growth happens in discomfort. Kirstin even played back to me things I said in our first session, and months later, I barely recognise the person I was then. I still have work to do - always - but she has truly helped me move the needle.
Senior Consultant
Career Change
I knew it was time to move on from my job, but the idea of re-entering the job market felt overwhelming. I had clear goals, but navigating the process was daunting, and my lack of confidence was holding me back. I needed a boost—and Kirstin’s coaching was a game changer. Through creative exercises, she helped me uncover my unique strengths—what she called my 'secret sauce'—and craft a compelling story that showcased my skills with confidence. She showed me how to align my strengths with the job spec and gave me invaluable mental and physical preparation tips for interviews. The result? I landed the job - and got promoted within a year.
Parent
Teen in Transition
I sent my daughter to see Kirstin a few months before her A-levels. She was feeling anxious, jittery, and had lost confidence in herself. Kirstin was kind, caring, and immediately put her at ease. She took the time to listen, understand the full picture, and equip her with the tools to manage stress and regain control. Not only did this help her navigate her A-levels successfully, but it also gave her skills for life. I’m eternally grateful and can’t recommend Kirstin enough to any parent looking to support their child through stressful times.

Orchard Clinic
I have benefitted from several coaching sessions with Kirstin. One of the many things I found impressive is her ability to rapidly get to the crux of what was in my head on a given day and shape the session accordingly. This incisive approach helped me to understand what I could tweak short term and change longer term to enable me to better curate my life, across the board, from the inside out. Kirstin’s approach is relaxed, flexible and intuitive. She has many tools to use depending on your mood and what you bring along on the day. I appreciated her ability to adapt and pivot over the course of my sessions and that she was able to refer me back to previous comments and important statements when appropriate. It felt like she kept the all-important bird’s eye view. As a result of my coaching sessions, I feel more self-aware, focused and that I have agency to gradually make changes and choices to improve my work/life balance. I would recommend people of all ages and backgrounds to work with Kirstin as she is so adaptable and competent. I know I will return to work with her again when the time is right.
