‘‘Our daughter finds it difficult to build trust and share her feelings with people, however she felt comfortable with Kirsty instantly and during sessions felt listened to and understood which gave her the opportunity to be open and honest and make progress with some difficulties she was facing. We are as a family very grateful for the kindness, support, advice and understanding that has been shown during our time with Kirsty. It has been invaluable. Thank you’’

Parent of a pupil (Pupil voice work and Motivational Interviewing)

‘‘I have received support from Kirsty for over two years, and her guidance has been consistently invaluable. She strikes the perfect balance between compassion and practicality, offering advice that is grounded in theory yet always empathetic and responsive to real-life situations. Kirsty has supported me with both professional and personal matters, and her approachable, reliable nature makes her someone I can always turn to. I have benefitted greatly from her support and have been able to apply her guidance meaningfully in my own life.’’

Teacher with TLR (Coaching and Supervision)

‘‘You’ve taught me so much that I apply in my day-to-day life and my professional practice.’’

Learning Support Practitioner (Coaching and Supervision)

‘‘CPD sessions were really useful for reminding us of good practice and picking up some tips for talking to pupils. I used techniques frequently and appreciated the additional resources. I also found it useful when speaking to adults in situations outside of school.’’

Teacher (Training)

‘‘I like having someone neutral to speak to and would like for this to continue. I would like the individual case/pupil work to continue along with the spontaneous conversations which allow for idea creation.’’

Teacher (Casework and Coaching)

‘‘Being able to talk about this student with Kirsty allowed for the bouncing of ideas and the creation of different strategies to use which was invaluable.’’

Teacher (Casework)

I appreciated… ‘‘Time and space to process how I feel without judgement. Practical things to think about and appropriate strategies that I could apply long term. It came at exactly the right time, and has evolved over time.’’
