About
I’m Kirsty - mindset and accountability coach, corporate speaker and trainer, Geordie, and founder of Expansions Coaching.
I work with ambitious women and small business owners who are sick of getting in their own way. The ones who overthink every decision, procrastinate on the important stuff, and secretly wonder if they’re “enough.”
If that’s you, you already know you’re capable of more.
My job is to help you prove it.
My Story
For 20 years I climbed the corporate ladder ending in HR Management. On paper, I had a solid career. But when I returned from maternity leave, everything shifted. My confidence was knocked. I'd become a different person and I knew something had to change and I started to question myself in a way I never had before.
Around the same time, my husband Anth was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Overnight, life became very real. Those two events collided and forced us to ask: what actually matters?
For me, the answer was clear. I didn’t want to coast through a life that didn’t fit. I wanted to do work that meant something. So I retrained, stepped out of corporate, and built Expansions Coaching.
How I work
I’m not here to hand you pep talks or motivational quotes. My coaching is:
-
Straight-talking - I’ll ask the hard questions, call out the excuses, and keep you accountable.
-
Grounded in neuroscience - because when you understand how your brain is wired, you can rewire it. That’s how you stop procrastinating, silence self-doubt, and make better decisions.
-
Action-driven - every session ends with a clear next step, and I’ll be there to make sure you follow through.
Work with me and you’ll stop second-guessing, rebuild your confidence, and finally take the bold action you’ve been putting off.
Why work with me
Clients describe me as empathetic but challenging - a supportive kick up the arse when it’s needed. I don’t just help you move forward - I help you understand why you’ve been holding yourself back, then give you the tools to change it for good.
I’ve helped women:
-
Smash through self-doubt and land promotions and new roles.
-
Get momentum back in their businesses after months of procrastination.
-
Rebuild confidence after maternity leave or redundancy.
-
Speak up, back themselves, and take action on goals they’d been circling for years.
I know what it’s like to doubt yourself, and I also know what it takes to make tough decisions under pressure.
That’s why I’ll never let you settle for less than you’re capable of.

Behind the Coach
Outside of coaching, I’m mam to Alfie and wife to Anth. I love lifting weights, running, and cooking. And I believe two things will get you through just about anything: a positive mindset and a proper laugh.
I truly believe that we are all capable of more, if we just gave ourselves more credit and care. But change won't come until you're ready to take action.
P.S. There's never a "right" time.
