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.
