About SKLifeCoachUK
SKLifeCoachUK was launched by me, Steven Kirby in 2018.
As a certified Life Coach, CBT Coach, and Mental Health Advocate, I’ve made it my life’s mission to transform workplace mental health.
For twenty years I worked in the construction industry.
Following a life-changing accident that occurred at my work place, I discovered first hand how mental health impacts not just individuals, but entire organizations and families.
Today, I help organizations across the UK build resilient, high-performing teams through mental health awareness and practical wellbeing strategies that has helped me and other people not just get over their struggles but get to the peak of their productivity and enjoy better relationships with friends and family.

Wondering What Life Coaching Is About?
Life coaching is a collaborative partnership between a coach and client focused on helping people create positive changes and achieve their goals across different areas of life. Think of it like having a skilled navigator helping you chart your course and stay on track toward your destination.
Unlike therapy, which often deals with healing past trauma or treating mental health conditions, life coaching focuses on the present and future. A life coach helps you clarify where you want to go and develops actionable strategies to get there. The process is similar to how a sports coach helps athletes improve their performance – through observation, feedback, accountability, and strategic planning.

A gripping session and well worth the time that we took out of the working day to receive Steve’s story.A pleasure to meet and work with Steve who is so relatable to the teams in our industry.

I would highly recommend Steven as a mental health and well being speaker. He shares a traumatic but interesting story which engages the workforce. He shares the lessons learnt and control measures that could have prevented his accident which will help stop an accident of this type happening again.

Steve spoke about topics including:
– Returning to work after the holidays.

– Accident Reporting.
– The importance of competence & training.
– The impact on others from an injury to you.
– Mental Health & ways to improve it.

This was one of the best, most relatable and relevant speeches l’ve ever heard during my time working in HSE and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
The feedback from our workforce, both blue and white collar and from our client has been brilliant. All found Steve very honest, personable and relatable. They felt like it was a work colleague talking to them, this is not something that is easy to do.
Many thanks Steve and we look forward to working with you again in the future
10/10 from us.
