I help you find the words, so you get heard.
One-to-one coaching for neurodivergent and busy-brained thinkers who see what others miss.
No program and no commitment. Fair pricing.
If anybody has ever called you an overthinker…
How would you feel if they called you a deep thinker instead?
Overthinking and deep thinking are the same skill set. One is driven by anxiety, the other by curiosity. I help you shift your skills toward curiosity-driven living.
You see what others don’t. You know what you mean. Getting it into words other people can hear is the hard part, and that’s the part I help with.
Hi, I’m Kim. Nothing breaks my heart more than watching a thoughtful, caring person overthink themselves to inaction. And I should know. I’ve spent nearly five decades overthinking absolutely everything. Here’s how I made sense of it all.
How we’d work together
Book a free chat. It’s 30 minutes, with no pressure. Ask me anything and see if it feels right.
Have one conversation. Bring whatever is on your mind. You don’t need to prepare anything or know the answers. We’ll work out what to focus on, find the words, and leave you with a doable next step.
Come back if it helps. Book the next one whenever you’re ready. As many or as few as you like.
What happens in a conversation
It’s hard to see what’s going on with a chair you’re sitting in. All your weight is bearing down on the problem. I could look across the room and say, “That chair needs better support at the front.” But that’s not my job. My job is to help you see it for yourself, and then find the words for what needs doing.
In a conversation, I will:
Listen deeply, in a confidential, non-judgemental space
Reflect back what I’m hearing, including themes and language that might be useful
Gently challenge your thinking with good questions
Share what I’m noticing as you speak
Offer tools or techniques if you’d like them
Each coaching session has four parts: a catch-up, agreeing what today is for, the coaching itself, and a wrap-up where you say what you’re taking away. Read what actually happens in a session.
I follow the code of ethics and core competencies of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC). I wrote a piece on LinkedIn about what that means to me…and to you.
A few things I do differently
-
Fair pricing
Choose the rate that fits your situation. See the rates below.
-
Flexible scheduling
We meet when it works for you, and move things when life gets in the way.
-
No programs, no commitment
Book one conversation. Come back if it helped.
-
Less, not more
Could you thrive with less? Let’s find out what you can drop.
-
Ideas held lightly
We’ll go deep, but hold our ideas lightly. That’s how meaningful change works.
-
Things I won’t do…
Use Ai to think for you, sell you stuff, or waste your time.
Why people work with me
-
I see what's underneath
And what’s not being said. I usually spot something others don’t, and I might take an unexpected view or gently challenge you, always in a helpful way. See more thinking on my blog
-
I ask great questions
I’m not afraid to ask the obvious, or something daring. That’s how we find what moves things forward. A good place to start: When questions make people think too hard
-
I’m easy to talk to.
We’ll get right into the specifics of your challenge, with no generic advice or gimmicky formulas. Mostly serious, a bit silly, and always curious.
A bit more about me
-
But I’m not for everyone!
And that’s ok. I’m probably not for you if you don’t like to think through things or you find talking annoying.
What they’ve said
-
Separated the Signal From the Noise
“I'm a neurodiverse solo-founder and what other folks might call ‘over-thinking’ is my normal every day headspace. Kim has the amazing ability to help me to filter out some of the noise, identify what's actually important to me, and get me to a place where I feel confident about my decisions.”
— Jon Park, solo-founder
-
Unstuck in Under 30 Minutes
“I met with Kim when I needed to make a positive and decisive move about an impasse I was facing in my work. In just 30 minutes, she listened to my challenge and the type of focus I needed, and gave me a firm direction and route forward with clarity and motivation to get going.”
— Susi O'Neill, Founder and Director, EVA trust in tech
-
Moved Forward Through a Career Transition
“I started working with Kim during a transition in my professional life. I deeply value the coaching sessions where Kim poses questions and synthesizes my thoughts in a way I could not do by myself.”
— Diane Flannery, PhD
Fair Pricing
I work on a fair pricing model so that money doesn’t decide who I can work with. Choose the rate that matches your circumstances:
| I am a… | Per session |
|---|---|
| C-suite leader, successful entrepreneur or innovator making over £500k | £500 |
| C-suite or rising leader, or business owner with staff and sustainable operations, making over £100k | £300 |
| Creative, tech or knowledge worker, manager, small business owner or solopreneur making over £50k | £150 |
| Charity sector, craft or trade worker, or in a non-management role and making over £25k | £100 |
| Unemployed, in financial hardship or in a lower-income locality, making under £25k | £60 |
| Or, we might agree to a value exchange | |
This model is a work in progress. Here’s how it started and how it’s going.
Session rates, length, frequency, payment terms and (re)scheduling are all flexible and negotiable. Please ask about accommodations. Employers can pay, and Access to Work (UK) is welcome. See the questions below.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
People who think differently: neurodivergent, busy-brained or just not quite the usual shape. If that sounds like you, know that you’re welcome here.
-
No. Nobody needs a diagnosis to work with me. Diagnosed, self-identified or just wondering: you’re welcome as you are. And you don’t need one for Access to Work either. GOV.UK says: “You do not need to be diagnosed with a condition to apply.” Read the GOV.UK eligibility rules.
-
It’s a free, 30-minute, no-pressure video call. You can ask me anything about coaching, tell me what’s on your mind, and we’ll both see whether it feels right. We’ll also cover the practical bits, like scheduling, rates and availability. You don’t need to prepare anything. If it isn’t a good fit, I’ll say so and point you to someone better suited if I can.
-
Any coaching session has four basic parts:
The catch up: a few minutes getting comfortable and catching up on anything new or relevant since we last spoke.
Establishing an agreement: e.g., What would you like to think about today with me? If it’s a particularly big topic, we may zoom in to a specific area, e.g., Given that we have [x] minutes, what about that do we need to focus on?
The coaching: Here’s where you can share anything on your mind and we work through the thoughts taking an open, curious, and non-judgemental approach.
The conclusion: where we wind things down and reflect on the session.

-
Bring whatever is on your mind. We’ll work out together what to focus on.
-
While coaching and therapy are similar in some ways, the key difference is that therapy is primarily focused on the past and coaching is primarily focused on the future.
I work with many people who are simultaneously in therapy and coaching. This can be great, so long as everyone is aware of the relationships and boundaries are maintained. And I’ll tell you if something is outside what I’m qualified to handle.
See my comparison table to learn about more differences between coaching, therapy, and other methods of support such as mentoring or training.
-
Usually an hour, sometimes 30 minutes or up to 90. The price is the same, because you’re paying for the result, not the minutes.
-
As many or as few as help. Some people come once, some come back now and then, some work with me regularly. There’s no program and no commitment.
-
Yes. Many people have their employer pay for some or all of their coaching. I can invoice your employer directly, or give you an invoice to claim back. Tell me what works in the free chat.
-
Yes, I’m happy to work with it. Access to Work is a UK government grant for people who have a disability, illness or health condition that means they need support to do their job. You need to be in paid work (self-employment counts, with annual turnover of at least £6,500), or about to start. It covers England, Scotland and Wales; Northern Ireland has its own scheme, and civil servants get support through their employer instead. Access to Work decides what it will fund, so ask them whether coaching fits your situation. I can send you a quote for your application. Check the eligibility rules.
