What Impact do you want your life to make?

Not just on your career or your health but on how you feel when you wake up each day. On your relationships. On your confidence, resilience, and sense of purpose.

At Impact Coach NZ, I support people to create real, lasting impact in their lives—mentally, emotionally, and physically—so they don’t just get through life, they thrive within it.

I’m a professionally accredited coach backed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF)—the highest global standard in coaching and bringing over 15 years of real-world experience supporting people through complex life challenges and personal growth.

My approach is deeply human, practical, and results-focused, blending:

Professional Life Coaching.
Therapeutic, trauma-informed support.
Health & Wellbeing coaching.
Mindset, emotional resilience, and behaviour change.

This is not surface-level motivation. It’s meaningful, sustainable change.

You go above and beyond, and your techniques and style allow negative memories and feelings to come to light in a safe environment where they can be released. These skills provide life long benefits. The benefits have been long term. It has helped me through very difficult times, and I can see a sense of ease coming in the future. Appreciate the txts/check in's throughout the process, the extra effort makes the experience more valuable.

Without Darran hugely impactful coaching methods, I would not be the leader I am today. His questioning is always searching, he enables me to get to the root of the problem. He allows me to make decisions on the most important things in life. I truly appreciated the ways he challenges me to establish what I truly value in life. He gave me a greater understanding of who I am. I would truly recommend working with Darren if you want to increase your productivity and lead a happier, more fulfilling life.

Darren illustrates a beautiful mix of empathy and natural life coaching skills. Your ability to assess where someone is at mentally and helping them develop and build is an incredible skill. You are the best coach I have worked with, you have helped my leadership skills deepen and widen.

Working with Darren will forever change you think, about your own thoughts and how you construct yourself. He listens carefully to your point of view and makes you feel valued. Darren has a kind and curious nature, he asks probing questions, he makes you realise you have the courage to take the next step. Spending time with Darren in a coaching capacity has allowed me to be clearer about how I feel and think. I have been able to confidently making life changing decisions. I cannot thank Darren and his team enough.

Chrissie

The session yesterday allowed me to truly reflect on past experiences as well as helping me to formulate a plan for the future. I did not expect the session to flow as well as it did, your questioning allowed me to explore feelings I had always felt but never attributed a feeling to. I felt listened too and not judged. I returned to work re-energised and ready to tackle whatever challenges that might occur.
