About Karen
Supporting your journey through lived experience
Karen's coaching adventure started over 30 years ago in the classroom when she was using coaching skills everyday without even realising it!
Fast forward to the present day and she has formalised that passion and has a qualification in transformational coaching and is a certified grief educator.
Solution focussed
Karen had previously experienced loss and grief, however the sudden loss of her husband was a challenge she was unprepared for. She instantly pivoted from someone successful, capable and reliable into someone in turmoil, spinning and overwhelmed. With the help of coaching Karen found a way back to a fulfilling life.
Karen approached coaching sessions with the honesty of someone at rock-bottom and learned to recognise and acknowledge her shadows; those thoughts and stories which linger in the corners of the mind and create barriers to moving forward.
She built on her strengths until she found peace with her thoughts and decisions.
Karen believes that the work she did with her coach provided her with ways to use her inner strength to navigate setbacks and gave her the ability to be more present in everyday life.
Karen now wants to use this lived experience to help other people find their way forward in life after loss and setback
What matters at Reset and Rise
Grief, loss and change can leave you wondering where you fit in the world. This is perfectly normal; the life you knew has changed, you may question your identity, you may feel there is no meaning in your life anymore. It takes time and space to find clarity, perspective and create a new normal after the loss of your person, a loyal pet, a relationship or a job.
Karen believes that everyone can find peace, clarity and purpose in their life. It's not easy, it takes time and a willingness to invest in yourself but from personal experience Karen knows that it's not only possible but very rewarding.
Coaching can help you find a way to thrive instead of simply survive but it is important that you connect with your coach on a human level.
Karen's grief support and coaching is direct, positive and supportive. You will feel valued, heard and understood but Karen will also challenge you to be honest and accountable to ensure that you maximise your investment and create your own best story.

I love my cockapoo Steve
When life challenges me, Steve is always willing to head into nature where the fresh air works its magic and I can reset.

I get excited about sunrise and sunset
Nature loves to show off and I love to be there when it does, camera at the ready to capture the glorious moments.

Yeast, it's special
So tiny and unassuming, and yet given the right conditions, so powerful and creative... I believe people are like this too

I smile, alot
Finding the joy in at least one thing per day is fundamental to my wellbeing and has been central in my ability to reset and rise from those challenging moments.
