Kaleidoscope Coaching
Because a small shift creates a whole new vision
Life Coaching, KS2 Tutoring, and More
When it comes to your family, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Whether you’re looking for support for your own parenting journey or some tuition and confidence-building for your KS2 child, I can help.
As a parent and a teacher of 23 years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the “Anxious Child – Anxious Parent” cycle and the profound impact it has on the entire family. I also know that, with the right support for the parent – respectful, thoughtful, and sometimes challenging – this dynamic can be radically transformed.
That’s why I stepped away from the classroom, retrained, and set up Kaleidoscope Coaching; because I know that a small shift creates a whole new vision. I guide parents from overwhelm and confusion to renewed confidence and clarity.
If this sounds like a lifeline to you, then invest in your family by calling a ‘time out’ while you realign your direction and the needs of your whole family – starting from the top… with YOU!
Because that is how change happens.
Make an email request for an initial phone call and let’s start that conversation.
My Services
What is coaching?
Coaching offers professional, high-quality support for people who want to make positive changes in their lives. Putting the client in charge of
- understanding their options
- setting attainable goals
- positive decision-making
- planning for change
- managing anxieties
What is N.L.P?
Neuro-linguistic Programming is the understanding of how our unconscious mind works.
This knowledge brings new insight and strategies for managing change.
NLP informs the coaching process by the careful use of positive thinking, visualisation and language.
Tuition
I offer a ‘More Than Maths’ tuition service that combines my love of teaching with my understanding of how anxiety holds back learning. With fun ‘work arounds’ and strategies that help your child stay calm and remember key steps, we can work together through the KS2 Maths curriculum with growing confidence.
Get in touch via email if you would like to find out more about online, or in-person tuition where practical.
Why Kaleidoscope?
I’m Claire Fairlie, life coach, registered NLP practitioner, experienced teacher, and parent.
With more than two decades spent understanding the needs of parents and pupils in schools, I’ve retrained to apply this knowledge in a manageable and supportive coaching experience.
The core messages of the Kaleidoscope metaphor are these:
- A small shift transforms the pattern
- The focus is always forwards-facing
- It is the person holding the kaleidoscope who makes the changes

Testimonials
“I went into this not really knowing what to expect, but you never know till you try these things… and I am so glad I did!
Claire is so patient and kind and the sessions just evolved naturally. Nothing felt forced or controlled and actually that jumbled mess in my head was soon unravelling itself and becoming more easy to take care of.
Claire has encouraged me to see the bigger picture, the possibilities and to realise that it’s all achievable and within my reach.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Claire, I felt very comfortable spending time with her and our conversation was enlightening and very useful to me.
The three sessions were just right, I felt the sessions worked well and went very fast!
Claire is very easy to talk to, good fun and great at what she does!”
“In between sessions, I saw myself grow in self-awareness.
Since the sessions ended, I feel a lot stronger mentally, and able to tackle tasks that in the weeks before I had struggled to complete”
“I would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone who is interested in coaching – she is highly professional but, at the same time, you feel very comfortable to open up with her quickly. She listens to you intently and is very thoughtful with her responses.“
“Firstly what really helped was Claire’s kindness and calmness. It really helped me to feel comfortable getting into the coaching sessions.
I am in such a better place as a result of Claire’s coaching. I am able to get up and face doing day to day things that had become overwhelming before”
