Say goodbye to “just getting to the end of the day”.

You deserve to look back on this time and know you were able to make the most of it.

  • Do you ever worry you’re losing yourself in being everything to everyone else?

  • Do you have the best intentions in your parenting, but then the overwhelm you feel gets in the way of being present or patient with your kids — and you go to bed feeling like letting them down?

  • Do you find yourself questioning whether you’re just too sensitive or anxious to be a good mum?

  • Do you feel shocked at the level of anger and resentment that comes up towards your partner sometimes?

I’ve been there.

I’m Kirsti, mum to two beautiful girls and a deep-feeler.

Becoming a mum brought so much joy and laughter into my life, but it was also the hardest thing I’d ever done. We had a rough start with a scary birth, breastfeeding difficulties, and ongoing sleep deprivation. It challenged my sense of self and my marriage in ways I’d never expected.

I was grateful for my training as a Positive Psychologist to have access to numerous simple but effective tools to support my wellbeing as I grappled with exhaustion, loneliness, a crushing mental load, and the need to feel seen by my partner — and around a year in, I looked up and asked myself, “How does anyone cope without these tools?”

I shifted the focus of my practice to support mothers, and have never looked back.

You know how precious and short-lived this season is. And I believe that you deserve to enjoy it.

My Approach

I’m a Positive Coaching Psychologist with a Masters of Science in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology (UEL).

I feel so privileged that I get to support mums to feel finds joy amidst the chaos, to maintain a sense of perspective when overwhelmed, to go to bed confident in their parenting choices, and to feel more supported and seen by their partner.

My coaching brings together skilled questioning designed to shift your perspective and increase your sense of choice, with the learning of realistic, evidence-based mindset and emotional regulation techniques you’ll have with you for life.

I offer motherhood coaching in Bath, UK and online.

  • “Working with Kirsti has been a significant pillar in my personal journey over the last 6 months - I feel I am more authentic, able to more quickly establish my true thoughts and feelings on things and own them. I have confronted some of the things that I have been avoiding whilst in the trenches of parenthood and regained confidence. This work has also significantly helped me manage anxiety and improve my leadership style. The combination of the tools Kirsti uses, positive psychology style, excellent questions and focus on me as a mother has really worked for me at this stage in my life. If you want to look at yourself as a person within the context of all the roles you fulfill in life (parent, member of staff, partner, family member) then Kirsti's approach really will support you.”

  • "I have done this type of work before but it felt much more effortless, effective, and joyful with Kirsti. In our sessions, I felt a sense of ease because of Kirsti’s ability to guide me with her gentle demeanor, positive energy, and her excellent ability to highlight and synthesize important findings. I left our sessions with a significantly greater sense of clarity and purpose."

    —Melissa

  • "Through the work we did together, I realised that I had been holding a bit of myself back out of fear of being judged. Kirsti skillfully coached me through this using a combination of insightful questions and personalised techniques. The change has been amazing. I really enjoyed our sessions. She encouraged me to explore my own thoughts and beliefs without any filters and it was liberating!"

    —Jane

  • "It felt like you really listened and really understood my feelings... I feel that I have more awareness of one of my most prominent thought/feeling patterns and more tools to choose a different way to respond."

    —Lucy

  • "I’m lucky enough to have 3 children and felt like I should have enough parenting experience to cope with tantrums and meltdowns but I found it hard to deal with challenging behaviour alongside the other children’s needs. Kirsti gave me some great advice and I feel more positive about how I can approach tantrum situations and remain calm."

Coaching Packages

  • Is there a specific challenge you’re currently experiencing with regards to parenting, your sense of self, or your partnership that you’d like to overcome? Are you just feeling a bit “meh” and need to get on the right track again? This is a once-off 90-minute session based in Positive Psychology strengths use.

    Ahead of our session, you’ll complete a strengths survey: this will give me insight into the value-based actions that will trigger more motivation, energy, confidence, and enjoyment for you personally as a mum. We’ll do a deep dive into understanding your results in-session, and then apply them to get unstuck with your challenge. You’ll also walk away with a repeatable framework shown to increase non-conscious motivation so you can trust yourself to follow through, even when you’re really, really tired.

    Two weeks after our strengths-based session, we’ll meet again for 45-minutes of follow up coaching. This will allow us to trouble-shoot anything that’s not working and ensure you keep making good progress.
