ABOUT Quinn

Coaching

As a coach, I help women who are overwhelmed by stress to manage their emotions and improve their overall mental health. In my coaching, I use the skills that I was taught while studying for my MA in counselling psychology.

In my approach, I understand two crucial things:

1. You are the expert of your life, but it’s also okay if you need personal support from time to time as you maneuver life’s stress

2. When under stress, the human psyche has specific survival mechanisms; these instincts can make managing your emotions difficult

   In my coaching sessions, I support you to work through the layers behind your emotions so that they are easier to regulate. I also provide you with a confidential space to explore how stress is impacting your life and which tools you want to use to manage this stress.

Editing

I also offer freelance proofreading and copyediting to authors who plan on publishing their books. Whether you plan on publishing your book the traditional way or through self-publication, a sharply edited manuscript will be an important asset for you. Combining my skills as a coach with my skills as an editor, I offer something truly unique. I am able to offer insight into your story progression and character development. I understand that, as a writer, you are human, and that is why I approach each manuscript with heart as well as precision. I understand that your story is your baby and that there are many emotions that get wrapped into the process of writing and publishing a manuscript. This is why I don’t just edit your manuscript; I also communicate why each change is being made and how it will sharpen the wording of your story.  

Credentials, Training, and Experience

I have my Bachelor’s in Psychology with Thesis, and then I studied for my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology with Yorkville University. Over a period of 8 years, I learned basic counselling skills that I use in my coaching for entrepreneurs. I also have 6 years experience as a coach for entrepreneurs and have worked with over 40 clients to date.

I also have a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature, which provided me with in-depth grammar and creative writing education. I was also taught how to edit different forms of writing, including manuscripts. Writing is something I have had a natural inclination toward; it is also something I have continued to develop throughout my life. I have been writing stories since I was a child, including multiple manuscripts for casual novels. Not only do I have a strength for precise grammar, but I also have a strong sense for story-telling and character development.
