Chris Kenworthy

EMBODIMENT COACH & FACILITATOR IN LEEDS, YORKSHIRE (UK) & EUROPE

Hello I’m Chris. I guide you back to yourself and your human-ness. I do this in warm and playful group workshops with genuine connection. And in one-to-one coaching for perfectionists.

Never good enough?

Let’s name that subtle inner dread you’ll never fulfil your potential. It feels like no matter how hard you try (and you try so very hard to do the right thing) - somehow you always fall short of expectations...

Life doesn’t recognise you and all your efforts. Perhaps it feels arrogant to even admit that.

Let’s name the subtle inner dread that you’ll never fulfil your potential. It feels like no matter how hard you try (and you try so very hard to do the right thing) you always, somehow, fall short of expectations. Life doesn’t recognise you.

So you try even harder. 

I see you. I know what this costs


I help humans like you who care deeply and carry a lot

  • Feel relief from pressure to perform, fix everything, or hold it all together
  • Welcome change that’s coming with strength, dignity and grace
  • Feel what you really feel without becoming overwhelmed by it
  • Less self-monitoring; get more of your desires and needs met instead
  • Get support, appreciation and encouragement, instead of carrying everything alone
  • Release tension, burden and guilt that you're holding in your body

One-to-one coaching for Perfectionists

Authentic Relating in Leeds

Explore what it's like to be more you, more here-and-now, and how you relate to others. Come for honest human connection that goes deeper than everyday chit-chat.

This workshop explores everything they didn’t teach you at school about how to:

  • Find genuine human connection
  • Attune to yourself and others
  • Relate with curiosity and empathy
  • Build healthy, honest relationships
  • Honour difference and common humanity

Workshops are at We Are Wellness in Leeds (search for my name as teacher).

Feel calmer in the moment

With more empathy and kindness towards yourself and others. Present in the here-and-now.

Connect deeply & quickly

Discover meaningful human connection and deeper truths, as an antidote to day-to-day chit-chat.

Meet yourself & like-hearted others

Your whole self - as you already are. Feel welcome with nothing to change, nothing to fix. Be with others doing the same.
