A Tamworth personal development coach has been given high praise helping pop sensation and TV personality Kerry Katona ‘whole again’.
Emma Cross, has publicly credited by the former Atomic Kitten singer after getting her back on track following her split with husband George Kay, in 2015.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Kerry opened up about the counselling sessions she received from Emma after the relationship broke down and how they have inspired her to pursue a career in life coaching.
Kerry said: “Emma is absolutely brilliant.
“I’ve actually signed up to do a life-coaching course in October. I’m really looking forward to that.”
Emma (35) has been training and gaining experience as a life coach for more than 14 years, but has only recently taken the plunge by turning her passion into a full-time career.
She was amazed when she got the call from Kerry, who is now one of her regular clients.
“Kerry was one of the first people to contact me through my website,” Emma said.
“I couldn’t believe it. We started speaking and hit it off straight away.
“I went to her house and have been helping her to stay on track since then. People have noticed the difference in her and Kerry has referred me to other people too.”
Emma is a certified NLP (neuro linguistic programming) practitioner and uses proven NLP and personal development psychotherapy techniques to help people lead happier and more successful lives.
This could be for overcoming a trauma, achieving long-term goals, coping with the stresses of everyday life, or just generally making positive and lasting changes for the better.
Although Emma has all the qualifications to back up her abilities, she first turned to life coaching because she found she had a natural talent for helping people get the most out of life.
The mum-of-two believes her own difficult childhood and struggles in life have given her a unique understanding and appreciation of how coaching can make a real difference.
Emma said: “I didn’t have a great childhood. I had no role models and left school at 15 with no qualifications. I was a single mother by the age of 19 and was headed down a road I didn’t like.
“However, the birth of my first child motivated me to build a better life for us.
“I started to read self-help books because I didn’t want to continue down the path I was on.
“My driving force was to give my son a better life and be the role model that I didn’t have growing up. That motivated me to work hard and achieve my goals.”
Earlier this year, she decided to take the plunge by giving up her job as a sales consultant and devoting all her time to her career as a life coach.
“I’m passionate about helping other people achieve their goals, just as I have achieved mine and I believe my own experiences enable me to help bring out the best in others.”
