WHAT’S YOUR STORY?

You want to speak with clarity, connect with confidence, and make an impact—whether you’re leading a team, preparing for a big presentation, or navigating day-to-day life. But sometimes, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to “perform” can get in the way. That’s where I come in.

With over 15 years’ experience as a professional actor and performer, I’ve seen first-hand the power of story—how it moves people, inspires action, and creates deep connection. Now, I help individuals, teams, and leaders harness that same power in their own voices.

Through practical tools and personalised strategies, I support clients in overcoming speaking anxiety, building presence, and finding real confidence in how they communicate—on stage, in meetings, and in day-to-day life.

I offer 1:1 coaching, team workshops, motivational talks, and keynotes—tailored to your goals and delivered online or in person. I’m based in Glasgow and work with clients across the UK and internationally.

So… what’s your story? And what kind of impact do you want to have when you tell it?

"Finding a voice coach who understands the unique demands of professional speaking is not an easy feat. That's why I feel so fortunate to have discovered Kirsty. Her expertise is second to none. From our very first session, I felt an immediate rapport with Kirsty, she has an intuitive understanding of the voice and its intricacies. The one-to-one coaching she provided was exceptional. Kirsty not only boosted my confidence for presentations and podcasts but also taught me the art of pacing and being present. She truly has a gift and I'm grateful for the significant change this has provided me, under her guidance."
