Hi, I'm Karen Potter
Life and Mental Fitness Coach for Educators and Parents.
I help Educators and Parents move from exhaustion, overwhelm and self doubt to calm, confidence and clarity.
After many years of feeling lost and overwhelmed myself, juggling a teaching career alongside being a parent, I made the decision to take back control and retrained as a Life Coach so that I could use my passion to help other teachers and parents who are also struggling.
So, how can you work with me?

What is Coaching?
Coaching offers a safe, non-judgemental space in which you can focus on your goals and your mindset. As a coach I don’t offer advice but I listen carefully, ask powerful questions, challenge you to think differently and help to shine a light on what is already there, perhaps in your subconscious or hidden behind negative, saboteur voices.
How is coaching different to counselling?
Although coaching can resemble talk therapy, coaches are not necessarily certified counsellors/therapists and it differs from counselling in the following ways:
-
Counselling typically focuses on the past and present whereas coaching typically focuses on the present and future
-
Counselling focuses on the reasons for problems whereas coaching focuses more on the solutions
-
Counselling tends to be reactive whereas coaching is proactive
-
Counselling tends to support recovery from trauma whereas coaching focuses on growth
How will I feel at the end of a coaching session?
-
Listened to
-
Clearer about your next steps (whether that be professional or personal)
-
Less fearful about change
-
Lighter and more hopeful
-
Have a challenge or inquiry to work on before the next session - this may be something as simple as spotting when negative saboteur voices show up in your daily life or may be be something a little out of your comfort zone, like initiating a ‘tricky’ conversation with a loved one or work colleague, updating your CV or starting an exercise class.
