Personalised Coaching That Helps You Move Forward

Life has a way of testing us.

Whether you’re facing a lack of confidence, feeling overwhelmed, struggling to move on from a difficult experience or simply looking for greater direction, having the right support can make all the difference.

My one-to-one coaching is designed around you. Every session provides the space to reflect, reset and develop practical strategies that help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Working with clients throughout Yorkshire and across the UK, I combine professional coaching with lived experience to help create positive, lasting change.

 

Coaching Built Around You

No two people face the same challenges, which is why every coaching programme is tailored to your individual circumstances.

Some clients want to build confidence. Others want to improve their wellbeing, develop a stronger mindset or work through personal challenges that have been holding them back.

Whatever your reason for reaching out, we’ll work together to create a coaching plan that fits your goals, your lifestyle and the future you want to build.

What Can Coaching Help With?

Everyone’s journey is different, but coaching can help you:

  • Build confidence and self-belief.
  • Develop healthier ways of thinking.
  • Improve emotional resilience.
  • Better manage stress and anxiety.
  • Navigate personal or professional change.
  • Strengthen relationships.
  • Set realistic goals and stay accountable.
  • Create healthier routines that support long-term wellbeing.

Rather than offering quick fixes, coaching focuses on practical, sustainable progress.

 

Confidence & Resilience Coaching

Confidence isn’t something people either have or don’t have. It’s something that grows over time. Through confidence coaching, we’ll work on identifying the beliefs and habits that may be holding you back, replacing them with practical strategies that help you move forward with greater self-belief.

At the same time, resilience coaching helps you respond more positively to setbacks, adapt to change and develop the emotional strength to cope with life’s challenges. The goal isn’t to avoid difficult situations – it’s to feel better equipped when they happen.

Mindset Coaching For Everyday Life

The way you think influences the way you respond. Negative thinking, self-doubt and limiting beliefs can quietly affect every part of your life.

My approach to mindset coaching focuses on recognising those patterns, challenging unhelpful thinking and building healthier perspectives that support long-term personal and professional growth.

Small changes in mindset often lead to significant changes in confidence, decision-making and overall wellbeing.

Wellbeing Coaching That Supports Lasting Change

Looking after your wellbeing isn’t just about reducing stress. It’s about creating healthier habits, improving balance and making choices that support both your mental and physical health.

As part of my wellbeing coaching, we’ll look at the areas of your life that may be affecting your overall wellbeing and develop practical strategies that work for you. The focus is always on creating improvements that are realistic and sustainable.

Personal Coaching With Real-Life Experience

There are plenty of coaches who can teach theory. My coaching is different because it’s built on genuine experience. After rebuilding my own life following a life-changing workplace accident, I understand how difficult change can feel and how important the right support is.

Whether you’re looking for personal coaching to overcome a specific challenge or personal development coaching to continue growing both personally and professionally, every session is honest, supportive and focused on helping you make meaningful progress.

Why Choose SKLifeCoachUK?

Choosing the right coach is about finding someone you can trust. Someone who listens, understands and challenges you in the right way.

Clients choose SKLifeCoachUK because they value an experienced and professional approach that’s built on empathy, honesty and practical guidance rather than unrealistic promises.

My role isn’t to tell you how to live your life. It’s to help you develop the confidence, resilience and self-belief to move forward on your own terms.

Testimonials & Recomendations.

Steven was very engaging and the operatives on site were fully engrossed with his talk. Talking openly about his own struggles with his mental health really resonated with the teams with some of them making contact and thanking Steven for helping them open up about their own issues. We are now in a position to help those individuals seek the attention they require which is great.
Steven is passionate about his work and this comes across in his talk which is open and honest.

Mark Mersh
ISG PLC

 

Highly recommend Steve and his story to any organisation that is looking to promote behavioural safety and are looking to positively change some of the mindsets of people that may use the term “it’ll be alright’ too often whilst working around significant hazards. 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.

Gavin Greenfield
Public Sewer Services, HSEQ Manager. 

I would highly recommend Steven as a mental health and well-being speaker. He shares a traumatic but interesting story that 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. We looking forward to welcoming Steven back to support us on our health and safety culture module at site level.

Simon Stokes
Deputy Health And Saftey Manager, FFC Construcción.

Steve has supported the project since the start of 2021 on a monthly basis by sharing his story to our staff and delivery teams onsite. A great person to have on your project to support your project teams and staff! Thanks for your continued support!

Pritesh Mistry CEng MICE CMgr MCMI
Costain Group PLC, Head of Enginering.

We had Steve attend our annual ‘Back To Work’ presentations where we listened to him talk to us about his workplace accident, the impact it had on him and those close to him, and the valuable work he does to help others.
This was one of the best, most relatable, and relevant speeches I’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.

Kevin Lamb

HSE Manager, One Aim.

I highly recommend Steve. He has shared his story with over 500 men on two of our sites, creating a powerful impact by bringing mental health & behavioural safety to the forefront of people’s minds. Through his openness, he reinforces the important message that it’s okay to reach out and talk when you need support.

Labour Manager, Tunnel Craft.

Take The First Step

If you’re ready to make a positive change, I’d love to help.

An initial conversation gives us the opportunity to discuss where you are now, what you’d like to achieve and whether coaching is the right fit for you.

From there, we’ll create a personalised coaching programme that’s focused entirely on helping you move forward with greater confidence, resilience and clarity.
