Unlock your potential

Tailored coaching that allows you to be the best version of you at home, work or wherever you want to be.

Feel more empowered to make the decisions that are right for you – without the noise of everyone else’s opinion or judgement.

I’m Simran and I offer a calm and supportive space to think deeply about what matters to you and how you can achieve it.

What is coaching? What does it feel like? Coaching is, in essence a great conversation where you come away with confidence, clarity and action.

How does this happen? Through powerful questioning and deep listening accompanied by effective goal setting and positive support. I believe that everyone has the potential to achieve their goals, think deeply and problem-solve – we just sometimes need some support along the way to unlock our potential and achieve our insights.

Who is coaching for? How can it help me? Coaching is for everyone – we all have the insight and the wisdom to determine our own course. It’s simply a matter of unearthing it.

  • A typical session will start with selecting the topic for the conversation, setting some goals for the session and then exploring what is currently the case, what options might there be to take action and then working out potential obstacles & their mitigations for your solution.
  • No two sessions are the same – it’s up to the individual what they want to discuss and how we get there will look different for everyone.

My coaching practice

Whom do I work with?

I coach a variety of individuals with different goals and priorities, including doctors, consultants, HR professionals, entrepreneurs. Goals and topics have included

  • Career changes and support during career transitions
  • Productivity and habit changes – getting unstuck and moving forward
  • Mindset changes – removing limiting beliefs and setting goals
  • Life coaching to think deeply about priorities and values shaping future decisions

I have always been fascinated by other people – their journey, their individual stories and what makes us all thrive in and outside of the workplace. Supporting others to achieve their potential and fulfil their ambitions is my passion. My interest in people took me into Human Resources and management consulting for over a decade, and from there to coaching.

Who am I?

My experience: I’ve worked extensively in HR and OD roles, across a variety of sectors. Most recently I have consulted within the Higher Education sector. There’s a bit more about different roles I’ve had from HR Business Partner to consultant here

How could we work together?

I offer a range of tailored services including

  • Career coaching- coaching for clarity and direction when considering and making a change
  • Leadership or in-role coaching – coaching to help you thrive in your role, work on specific areas or work through issues
  • Life coaching – coaching to support you to live the life you want to, achieve specific goals or provide support during change

To get the most of coaching, it requires both of us to provide dedicated time, energy and commitment. My role as coach is to support you through asking questions and helping you gain clarity, explore options and take action that feels true to you.

If you’re thinking about coaching & if it may be right for you, please get in touch at simran.khanijau.coaching@gmail.com or via 07711510190.

I offer as standard a free introductory call to talk about our goals and see if we’d like to work together. Following that we can agree the right package for you.

Normally we’ll have our coaching sessions via Googlemeet. I’m based in Warrington and if you’re local we can meet in your office, a coffee shop or somewhere else that you feel free to talk. I am happy to discuss travelling further if required.

What do my clients say?

Megan -Head of OD for a London University

I found coaching incredibly helpful to create time and space for reflection, and to focus on my career and personal goals. Across sessions, Simran offered a range of tools and techniques that enabled me to approach the thinking in a different and useful way. I enjoyed taking time for myself and having a safe space to explore a range of topics, enabling me to reach and exceed the goals I had set at the beginning of the sessions. I found Simran to be friendly, warm, engaging, insightful and thoughtful. I’d highly recommend her to others as a great coach to work with.

Sameera – Orthopaedic Trainee

Coaching has really helped in changing my life and perspective. In a high-stress high-stakes job in healthcare I found myself disillusioned with not just the job but also the impact it was having on other areas of my life. Coaching helped me to uncover my own resilience and reframe issues, and Simran was instrumental in unlocking the tools I needed to empower myself, and see things in a more positive light.

Since I started coaching with Simran I have been able to pass my professional exams in order to progress, adopt a healthier attitude to my workload, and start to address the work-life balance I was trying to achieve for such a long time.

Simran’s friendly, non judgemental approach really made me feel ease from the very beginning, and I would highly recommend Coaching by SK to professionals seeking guidance in how to feel more positive in an ever-more pressurised environment, & looking to incorporate more self-care strategies into their daily lives.

Monthly or fortnightly coaching sessions

Regular sessions (up to 60 minutes) are great for exploring topics and longer-term goals in depth, and providing you with support and accountability as you work towards these. I offer a variety of tailored packages depending on what’s right for you and your requirements.

These can be either in-person or online dependent on location & preference.

One-off Intensive sessions

One-off, longer intensive sessions (up to 90 minutes) are brilliant for a reset, refresh and getting on track with a particular topic.

These are usually online, but may be in person depending on location and availability.
