Kirsty Haugland - Empowering Kids for Life!

Hi, I’m Kirsty

I’m a qualified teacher, certified children’s life coach, and proud mum to my two beautiful children.

With over 11 years of experience working with children, I bring a calm, confident presence and a deep understanding of how kids learn, grow, and thrive. I have a psychology degree, a strong background in education, and a passion for helping children feel good about who they are.

My coaching blends movement, mindset tools, and emotional awareness to help children build confidence, resilience, and self-belief. Sessions are always child-led and full of encouragement. I empower children to unlock their strengths and nurture lasting confidence, emotional intelligence and self-belief.

Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered – and that’s exactly what I aim to provide through Coaching by Kirsty.

At Coaching by Kirsty, I support children to build confidence, emotional resilience, and a strong sense of self – both through 1:1 coaching and in school settings. My sessions are designed to meet each child where they’re at, whether that’s working closely with families to support individual needs or delivering tailored programmes in schools to help groups of children thrive. With a child-centred, movement-based approach grounded in growth mindset and emotional awareness, I create safe, encouraging spaces where children can grow, learn, and believe in themselves – both in and out of the classroom.

They lost... and it was quite an emotionally charged match for u7s football but he took it like a champ. But he kept such a level head and tried to cheer up his teammates that were upset. A lot of the grown ups had trouble regulating their emotions, yet he I handled it like a pro! The change in him since he began the coaching is phenomenal, can't thank you enough.

PARENT

He has been brilliant tonight and has opened up about his feelings at bedtime and spoken to me about something that had been worrying him at school. I definitely think it's linked to your class and him feeling OK to talk about how he feels.

PARENT

Kirsty thank you, it’s so helpful to her and she does use what she has learnt to either calm down when needed or relax at bedtime. It has made a difference. So grateful for the opportunities she's been given to learn and practise yoga.

PARENT 2

This experience has been spot on for A and us as a family as we continue to nurture him in this mad world we live in. All our children need coping strategies and tools to navigate real life! Highly recommend Coaching by Kirsty to keep your child focused, on track and HAPPY with a sense of TRUE BELONGING as they grow.

PARENT 3

Working wonders with our boy! Coaching by Kirsty, highly recommend, building confidence, regulating emotions and strategies for what he CAN change and what he can’t.

PARENT 4

I do really think the sessions are making a difference and I am glad she is seeing her own worth. Just how she responds to situations and how people treat her is so different now to before.

Kirsty's live meeting was a game-changer! Her insightful tips on mental health have been incredibly helpful for both me and my child. The live session was interactive and engaging, making it easy to understand and apply her advice.

Following a fear of dogs...
She has been amazing, spent the morning with Nala yesterday on the farm and we were in the park yesterday with a friends puppy and she was walking it, stroking it, picking it up. So proud of her.

We’ve had a good chat tonight and both agree that we've already seen a huge improvement in Jude's mindset so it's a no brainer to carry on with the course and do the extra 4 weeks.

PARENT 8

*****

Thank you so much for all your help, we definitely agree that you've helped him so much and we are so thankful for people like you offering this service.

PARENT 9

*****

He's had a really good week with no major meltdowns. He's generally been a lot more positive with good self talk. He's really been taking things in his stride and taking a moment before he reacts, so amazing! I wish I'd been taught this as a 6 year old!

PARENT 10

*****

Amazing! We've noticed such a difference in him. He's just really embraced a more positive mindset. So proud of him. He's put his 'I am confident' wristband on his water bottle so he can take it to school everyday.

PARENT 11

She’s been great! Seen a massive difference.
