My name is Karen Conway. I decided to become a coach when I realised I never fail to get enthused by seeing others make the most of their lives, and I believe loving what you do is one of the key ingredients for a happy life!

My passion for coaching was ignited in 2002 when I joined The School of Coaching, founded by Myles Downey, one of Europe’s most renowned coaches and author of ‘Effective Coaching’. Here I was lucky enough to be part of an organisation whose primary purpose is to develop the coaching capacity of individuals in order to transform the performance and learning of others. I was well and truly hooked!

I am a fully accredited coach with a Diploma in Personal Development Coaching from The Coaching Academy, the leading coach training provider in the UK and Europe’s largest coach training organisation.

I am now a coach to staff and graduates at Kings College London (The Sunday Times University of the year 2010-2011) where I also design and facilitate workshops on career direction and motivation.

My approach is professional, positive and encouraging. I’m a good listener and want to understand your own map of the world to ensure you get the most from working with me. I will challenge you and believe in you, even during the times where you doubt yourself.

I have coached individuals from various walks of life helping to make a positive difference to their lives.

Typically, a personal coaching programme consists of six sessions held over a period of three months, with each session lasting between 50 and 90 minutes. The sessions are scheduled at the time of setting the contract. Longer and shorter programmes can also be arranged depending on individual needs.

We will have an initial discussion to find out what you are looking for and to manage expectations. If we agree to proceed a contract is set up with terms and conditions of the programme.

The coaching is inclusive since it can be conducted over the phone, or face to face in London.

Fees
To make coaching accessible to all I operate a sliding scale of fees, giving a higher discount to those with more complex issues that will benefit from a longer series of coaching sessions. I am happy at any time to discuss a fee scale and payment terms that suit your individual needs and financial situation.

As an example, a series of six fortnightly sessions is £240, including all preparatory work, take home exercises and unlimited email support between sessions over the three month period.
