Executive Coaching

Kirsten works with executives and emerging leaders to strengthen leadership presence, emotional intelligence, strategic communication, and career direction. With over 18+ years, she has partnered with leaders across sectors, including clients from organisations such as Atlassian, Google, Spotify, Westpac, NSW Treasury, and Commonwealth Bank.

Who is coaching for?

  • Senior leaders who want to lead with greater clarity, influence, and steadiness under pressure

  • High performers stepping into bigger scope-new roles, promotions, or complex stakeholder environments

  • Professionals navigating career transitions and wanting a sharper executive brand and narrative

  • Leaders who want sustainable performance (without burning out)

The approach

Kirsten's coaching blends evidence-based psychological insight with pragmatic, goal-focused strategies- so you build change that lasts, not just insight that feels good in the moment.

 

She’ll clarify what matters, map the real-world constraints you’re working within, and create a practical plan you can execute between sessions.

The advantage of clinical insights + Executive coaching

  • Deeper insight into behaviour change: Clinical training helps identify what’s driving patterns (e.g., perfectionism, avoidance, people-pleasing, overcontrol) and convert insight into consistent action.

  • Evidence-based emotional intelligence: Practical skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and clearer decision-making under pressure.

  • High performance that’s sustainable: Coaching focuses on results, while psychological science supports the nervous system, mindset, and recovery habits that keep performance consistent over time.

  • Sharper assessment and goal setting: A psychologist’s approach helps set goals that are specific, measurable, and behaviourally realistic.

  • Confidential, nuanced support: Complex leadership challenges often involve identity, values, power dynamics, and high stakes.

Note: Coaching is not therapy. If therapeutic support is needed, this will be discussed clearly and ethically.
