One-to-One Leadership Coaching

When you need support from someone who’s built and run teams

Practical, confidential coaching for SME founders and first-time managers built on real leadership experience and business psychology, not theory.

let’s talk

Challenges I help you overcome

Leadership can feel lonely and overwhelming, especially the first time. My coaching is designed to help you find your feet, your confidence, and your own way of leading.

Newly promoted, quietly overwhelmed

You’re good at the job. Nobody taught you how to manage the people who now report to you – including former peers.

Avoiding the hard conversations

Feedback gets delayed, issues get avoided, and small problems become bigger ones.

Stuck doing instead of leading

You’re still in the weeds of the work, when your role now needs you to delegate and step back.

Founder pressure without a sounding board

Running your own business means big decisions land on you alone, with no one to think them through with.

Three minutes. Personalised result. The Quiz tells you exactly where to start.

TRANSFORMING YOUR LEADERSHIP

Results you can expect

This isn’t a one-off pep talk. It’s steady, practical change that holds up under real pressure and shows up in how your team performs.

✓ Confidence in the role – you’ll stop second-guessing yourself and start leading with clarity, even in your first months.

✓ Easier difficult conversations – practical language and structure for feedback, delegation, and conflict, so you stop avoiding them.

✓ A team that works better – understanding what makes your people tick means less friction and more trust.

✓ More time back – effective delegation means you stop being the bottleneck for every decision.
✓ A sounding board when it matters – a confidential space to think through the calls only you can make

“Coaching sessions with Kasia were a complete life-changer for me! They helped me acknowledge my team’s different personalities…

and I have become more self-aware of my own leadership style and have better and more meaningful 1:1 conversations with my team. Kasia was great not only at explaining new skills but also at supporting me in applying them. The coaching sessions helped me become a better, more mindful leader, improve my communication skills and build stronger relationships within my team. I would 100% recommend Kasia to any manager, regardless of how long they have been in their role!”

My FIRST™ coaching framework

Built specifically for people leading for the first time – whether that’s a first management role or a first business. We’ll meet twice a month for 3 to 4 months, in private, 90-minute sessions, working through:

F

Foundations

Getting clear on your role, expectations, and the identity shift from doer or peer to leader.

I

Influence

Building the skills to delegate, give feedback, and have the conversations you’ve been avoiding.

R

Resilience

Managing pressure and self-doubt, so leadership doesn’t cost you your confidence or your wellbeing.

S

Strengths

Understanding your own strengths and your team’s – so you can lead with what’s already there, not against it.

T

Trust

Building genuine trust and psychological safety, so your team brings you problems early, not late.

Alan Mills

Senior Site Manager

Very positive experience. Kasia helped me understand the journey I needed. I felt listened to.

John Kinnaird

Assistant Site Manager

I really felt like I was being listened to.

Adam Gibson

Owner and Head Coach

Kasia was great in helping me launch my latest project. Without her, there’s no way I’d have got all the work done in the deadlines I set myself. She was excellent in helping me get my thoughts nice and clear on paper and having accountability towards finishing the project. Sometimes as a self-employed person that can be quite difficult to do, so having someone to bounce ideas off, structure my thoughts and actually put them into action was everything that I needed. “

Lily Horton

Site Assistant Manager

With my recent chats with Kasia, she has been a massive help to myself within finding ways to build my confidence and dealing with difficult situations. I have learnt a lot, and I use the different techniques in my day-to-day job role now. Kasia is so lovely, and she listened to all the problems I had going on and helped me find solutions.

Karl Haddon

Senior Site Manager

I had regular coaching sessions with Kasia. Among other things, the sessions made me realise why I was stressed and how to manage it. I also discovered a new approach to my management style, which helped me better develop my team, use my time more efficiently and create a trusting environment for people. As a result of my coaching sessions with Kasia, I feel much more confident in my role, and my team’s performance has improved a great deal.

Jordan Last

Project Manager

Kasia is very easy to talk to. She helped me realise that fears/doubts are common and that they are usually present in your own head. I feel confident and more assertive.

Ben Brown

Site Manager

I was always made to feel comfortable and at ease. I felt I could open up to Kasia. She has helped my confidence and helped me realise that I’m doing a good job.

Laura Culham

Project Manager

After sessions with Kasia, my communication has become more effective. She has provided me with the language and phrases to support tough conversations. Kasia is very relatable and empathetic.

Reece Horne

Adoptions Manager

I no longer feel a sense of imposter syndrome; I know I belong at the same table as senior leaders, and what I say matters. I am more able to give feedback to the team.

Vitaliy Vilinchuk

Sales Team Leader

I really enjoyed the coaching experience with Kasia. It was a great opportunity to take a pause, step back and reflect. It helped me realise the mechanisms of my behaviour. I felt perfectly understood.

Calum Turner

Site Manager

Kasia has given me confidence to deal with difficult situations and people. She has made me realise that everyone is different. She made me feel very comfortable during sessions, and I felt safe opening up. Kasia, thank you for making me feel better about myself.”

Jamie Kenyon

Assistant Site Manager

Kasia has been brilliant and flexible with the sessions and is completely understanding of our work pressures and environment. She has made me change the way I think when approaching conversations and to consciously choose a different line of dialogue depending on the person and situation. Kasia has given me perspective on why I felt like I did and why I was struggling, and to analyse where I need to improve myself professionally.

Robert Burnham

Manager for Europe

I recently had the good fortune to work with Kasia on a need to improve my own work habits. I felt my daily routine needed to improve its productivity, but I was unable to effectively identify and correct the problem myself. After just one session with Kasia, I was able to make a change in one critical work habit that had a significant effect upon my workday. Kasia did not do this through lectures or motivational sermons. Instead, she worked with me in a manner that made it seem as though I had discovered the problem myself and designed the solution. Yet, without her engagement with me it never would have happened. Kasia is nonjudgmental, enthusiastic, insightful, and very pleasant to work with. Any time spent working with her will be productive, enjoyable and time well spent

Mohan K.

Development & Engagement Manager

My coaching sessions with Kasia have really helped to clarify what I want and how I can achieve it. My sessions with her have been very useful in helping me articulate challenges I am going through and guiding me to find solutions. She has been very helpful and supportive and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help on resilience, confidence and leadership.

Why leaders choose to work with me

I founded my first business at 27, taking a whole team with me after we left our previous organisation.

Since then I’ve built and led teams across two countries, retrained as a Business Psychologist, and worked with first-time managers and founders across dozens of SMEs, as well as facilitated leadership development for organisations including John Lewis, Taylor Wimpey and SC Johnson.

Frequently asked questions

SME founders and first-time (and aspiring) managers in larger organisations who want practical, confidential support – whether you’re brand new to the role or a few years in and still figuring it out.

It’s built entirely around you: your role, your team, your specific challenges. I also draw on Belbin Team Roles, so we’re not just working on you in isolation, but on how you fit with and lead the people around you.

6 x 90-minute sessions over 3 months, plus time to reflect and act on what comes out of each session. Most of the real change happens between sessions.

Yes. Everything discussed stays between us, whether you’re paying personally or your employer is funding it.

Yes. Many clients move from 1:1 coaching into team-based support, including the Belbin-based Team Roles Programme for teams.

Honestly, the best way to know is to have a conversation and see how it feels between us.

Here’s who I usually work with: people who are curious about their own leadership, willing to look beneath the surface of what’s really going on in their team, and genuinely committed to growing, even when that means sitting with something uncomfortable for a while before it gets easier.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t even need to know exactly what’s wrong yet; that’s often what we work out together.

What clients tell me again and again is that our sessions feel less like a formal check-in and more like talking to someone who genuinely gets it. Warm, flexible and no judgement.

If any of that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, we’ll probably get on brilliantly.
