Meet the coach
Hello I’m Kasia,
I’m an accredited Senior Coaching Practitioner based in Reading, Berkshire (and online too).
I decided to set up my coaching practice, flow, to help people (like me) navigate the aftermath of one of life’s curveballs; infertility, unplanned non-parenthood, childlessness by circumstance - however you like to label it.
After several years of trying to conceive - first naturally, then through IVF - I too had to face into the reality of childlessness and find acceptance. The journey here was full of twists, turns, uncertainty and sometimes stuckness. But eventually I found myself and my flow again.
Coaching style
My role is to be your independent thinking partner, to listen carefully, and to have no agenda other than supporting you towards your goals. I will never tell you what to do or how to do it. What I do offer is:
A safe space to think & discover
Through honest conversation, considered questions, and light challenge we’ll create the conditions for you to think deeply and dig into what truly matters to you now - your values.
It’s about finding your footing, not forcing positivity so, if unexpected emotions surface, you’ll find our sessions a safe space to sit with and understand them. They can be insightful clues when learning about our values.
Playfully creative sessions
Some of the greatest ideas about our future come when we give ourselves permission to play and think freely. It can be a fun way to help us break out of fixedness and open our minds to new concepts.
This isn’t about masking the tough stuff. It’s about moving forward with lightness and fresh energy when the time is right.
A warmly pragmatic approach
Without action we stay stuck. So the idea is to help you engage in both creative thinking and doing so that your ideas become tangible steps towards your goal. I’ll be here, in your corner, checking in and helping you stay on track.
All of this comes underpinned by the empathy of my own experience of infertility and loss.
“Kasia has guided me on a journey of self-discovery, using her experience, knowledge, care, and passion to help me achieve my goals...Each session brought me greater clarity and direction, and I gained much more than just the original goal I set.”
Qualifications & Accreditation
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Coaching from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) and am accredited by the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC).
Before this, I graduated with a BSc in Psychology from Royal Holloway, University of London and spent 15 years working in public and private sector businesses in education, marketing, and digital transformation. Having a ‘squiggly career’ myself I’m no stranger to navigating change!
Through my training as a Facilitator and Innovation Coach I’ve supported teams with creative problem solving, ideation, and change management, and I draw on many of these techniques in my one-to-one coaching practice today.
If you’d like to find out more, I’d be very happy to have a 30-minute ‘chemistry chat’ with you free of charge.
