Soul Coaching®

Created by Denise Linn, Soul Coaching is a gentle but powerful form of spiritial coaching designed to help you hear and listen to your own inner wisdom. I offer 1:1 online coaching sessions. in-person group workshops, and individual walking and talking coaching sessions in High Peak, Derbyshire.  

Adoption Therapy

I offer a unique style of adoption-informed coaching for anyone whose life has been impacted by adoption.  My practice is informed by my academic research on representations of adoption in literature, training in counselling and attachment theory (including DDP Level One), and my own lived experience as an adoptive parent. 

Creative Writing Workshops

Discover the joy of creativity, rediscover your voice, and begin sharing your life story in one of my supportive creative writing workshops. My current 12-week course is based on Julia Cameron’s highly regarded book, The Artist’s Way.

Kind words

Working with Dr. Klara Laird on The Artist’s Way within the TABB for Women community has been an absolute pleasure. Klara brings such warmth, professionalism and depth to every session she delivers. Her presentations are consistently of a fabulous quality; thoughtful, engaging, beautifully prepared and delivered with real care and attention. She leads with warmth, intelligence and authenticity, creating an atmosphere where women immediately feel comfortable, safe and confident to participate, regardless of where they are starting from creatively or personally. What stands out so strongly about Klara is her knowledge and insight, paired with genuine humility and kindness. She is deeply informed and incredibly articulate, yet never intimidating or arrogant. She has a wonderful ability to make complex ideas accessible while encouraging thoughtful discussion and reflection. Klara is also exceptionally organised, reliable and prepared. Every session feels intentional, calm and well-held, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the process. The feedback from women attending The Artist’s Way has been overwhelmingly positive and it has been a joy to witness the confidence, creativity and self-reflection that her work encourages. We feel very fortunate to have Klara as part of TABB and would wholeheartedly recommend her work to anyone looking for a thoughtful, intelligent and deeply supportive facilitator.
Klara led me through a guided meditation - a sould journey that was personal and prfoundly moving. It left me feeling more whole in myself, more grounded, held and safe in life. It was a truly beautiful experience and I still refer to my Oracle Card when I need some inspriation or a reminder of my purpose. I can't wait for my next session.
Klara has a kind and caring presence that immediately puts you at ease. I felt safe sharing aspects of my life I was looking for clarity about and felt truly heard as she listened. Klara listens without judgement and made it a safe place to dive deeply into questions I wanted to explore. She took me on a beautiful soul journey that helped me find messages and insights that I hadn’t thought of previously. She coached me as we added card readings into our sessions and helped me to take those messages and come up with an action plan I could use going forward. By working with Klara I learned to tune into my soul and trust my intuition. If you are looking to align your inner wisdom and hear the whispers of your soul to help guide you in life I highly recommend working with Klara. I feel more in touch with myself and clearer on who I am. I would hire her in a heartbeat.
