I found my own freedom in my 50s -

and now I help others do the same!

Hi, I'm Karen!

In my corporate career across financial services and HR, coaching was the part I loved most: spotting strengths, unlocking confidence, and supporting bold moves — often into brand‑new paths beyond corporate.

After burnout and redundancy, I dug into my own strengths, values and what really matters to me. That clarity gave me the confidence to design a life that fits me — work I enjoy, time outside, and zero interest in making money for shareholders. I trained as a Strengths Profile coach because I saw how powerful this work is — at work and in life .

Why I do this

The impact

Clients tell me they feel motivated, confident, and ready for new challenges. They trust their skills, find new ways of working and being, and align decisions with what truly matters. And I love every minute of it. 💛

Understanding your strengths and values changes everything.

Because when you align your work and life with them, things get simpler - and better.

Here are my top strengths and values, and how they'll show up for you when we work together.

My Strengths

You'll understand what you need for you to grow and develop.

I'll motivate and inspire you to make things happen.

Our work is tailored to you and what's right for you, now.

Because life - and work - is too dull without it!

Enabler

Catalyst

Personalisation

Humour

I deliver what you need and will never over-promise.

Whoever you are and whatever you want to do, I'll celebrate your strengths and help you clarify what matters.

After years of corporate, you deserve the freedom to make choices. My coaching is a safe space for you to explore and decide.

Integrity

Acceptance

Freedom

My Values

I live in rural Perthshire and when I'm not working you'll usually find me running, hill-walking or in my garden. I love to be outside and moving!

And I LOVE to travel! I've taken three multi-year career breaks to travel overseas. My last trip big was to Asia and S America from September 2017 to May 2020 (check out some of my photos below). I love exploring new places and meeting people. And now I spend my Winters in Asia - which was my 'retirement plan' when I was 40!
