ABOUT ME

I am a coach who specialises in presence, vocal production, and confident communication—drawing on a holistic approach that blends practical techniques with deep personal insight. My work supports individuals and teams to find their authentic voice, overcome barriers like imposter syndrome, and communicate with clarity and impact across all settings.

With over 15 years’ experience as a professionally trained actor, I have worked extensively in film, television, theatre, and voice over. This background informs my coaching, allowing me to bring industry tested vocal, storytelling, and performance techniques directly into my sessions.

Highlights from my acting career include appearances in Outlander, Guilt, Annika, Doctors, Burnistoun, and theatre performances at venues such as The Edinburgh Playhouse, The Gaiety Theatre, Eden Court, His Majesty's Theatre, Citizens Theatre, and Tron Theatre. I’ve received awards and nominations for Echoes That Remain, Snapshot, and Learning Magic. My voice work spans narration, commercials, audiobooks, character animation, gaming, and ADR.

 

A full list of credits and voice samples can be found here.

 

During my training, I developed a particular passion for vocal production and dialects, completing specialised electives that deepen my expertise. I integrate these skills and strategies from my acting career into every coaching session, ensuring a rich, applied learning experience.

HOLISTIC APPROACH

In my 8 years coaching individuals, teams and senior leaders, I recognise the importance of presence. When you are aligned with yourself and your purpose and you come into ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’ or ‘showing’, then you are present with others and that’s when you have true and honest connection and that’s what makes for really effective communication. Whether it’s for public speaking or to enhance communication skills, the strategies I work with offer you the opportunity to align with your true purpose and let you be genuine and engaging with others so you can be wholly present and in the moment with each other, communicating your truth and intentions with ease. 

 

I believe that everything starts with breath and I engage the power of breath and connection within all the areas of my work so I have developed the Breath Alignment Practice which establishes release and relaxation, cultivating presence and connection, to allow you to reach a state of readiness, giving you the best approach into the process, allowing you to better achieve your goals. I like to establish this foundation for every person I work with so you will be introduced to aspects within this process upon beginning work with me.

 

I work with you, tailoring sessions to offer a bespoke service to work with the whole person, allowing you to find your voice, to be present and to be confidently you.

Working with organisations such as:

“Working with Kirsty was always a fascinating experience for me. I had no idea how much I would learn about myself during the process. Her depth of knowledge on each subject is truly exceptional and I recommend her to everyone because it took my career to great heights, along with my confidence. Once I was free from any limitations I had with my voice, I was able to feel confident when I started my podcast. Fast forward to now and I have found myself being booked as a motivational keynote speaker for large companies and presenting daily with my mindset and life coaching business. Once I knew how important my voice was, the sky is the limit. I am forever grateful.”
