# Karen Kingston Coaching

Karen Kingston is a life coach and mediator based in Colne, Lancashire, offering specialist support in personal performance, wellbeing and conflict resolution. With over twenty years' experience and a background as a senior leader in education, she works with individuals at all career levels—from newly qualified professionals to senior executives—helping them navigate the unique pressures their roles demand.

Her coaching practice centres on closing the gap between where clients are today and where they aspire to be. Using evidence-based techniques including the advanced GROW model, Karen helps clients identify goals, overcome challenges and unlock their potential. She specialises in supporting people through career transitions, whether that's returning to work after absence, managing workplace difficulties or establishing new business ventures.

As a wellbeing coach, Karen addresses stress and anxiety in both personal and professional contexts, equipping clients with practical tools to improve their physical and emotional health. Her mediation expertise extends across domestic, commercial and public sector disputes, offering a structured approach to conflict resolution that often prevents formal proceedings.

What distinguishes Karen's approach is her empathetic understanding of responsibility at different organisational levels. Rather than offering prescriptive advice, she facilitates structured conversations that empower clients to make informed decisions and take ownership of their transformation. Her coaching relationships are collaborative partnerships built on listening, questioning and inspiration—focused entirely on enabling clients to make long-lasting, positive change.
