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.

I'm proud to be a member of the Association for Coaching who are dedicated to promoting best practice and raising standards of coaching globally.

I spent 3 decades as a senior leader in the corporate world across industries ranging from fashion to rail to banking and I still enjoy spending some of my time consulting in this space.

I'm proud to be 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 currently 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 am a truly 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, and embarked on an auto-immune diet to manage inflammatory pain - I know first-hand that habits can be changed, but I also appreciate just how difficult it can be without the right support and tools.
