Who am I?

---

Hi, I'm Karen (one of the really good Karens...)

I'm a qualified practising Life Coach with additional training in basic counselling and am a member of the Association for Coaching.

I spent 3 decades in the corporate world in industries ranging from fashion to rail to banking. I still spend some of my time consulting in this space as it helps me understand current challenges and ways of working.

I'm a Board Trustee and Chair of the People Committee for Aspens Charities who provide quality care for people on the autism spectrum and with learning disabilities.

I'm married with a grown up daughter and split my time between West London and East Sussex with the aim of making the shift to the coast full-time over the next few years.

I'm a terrible swimmer, but absolutely love cold water!  You'll find me in the sea all year round - photo is me having a dip in December!

Since 2020 I've given up smoking and drinking alcohol, and embarked on an auto-immune diet to manage inflammatory pain. I'm proof that habits can be changed, but I also know how difficult it can be without the right support and tools.
