Who I Work With

Working with people from all walks of life and across the globe, I provide individual and group coaching, online masterclasses and I love creating relaxing and fun adventure days and weekends with coaching woven into the experience.

Ranging from completing a SAS Selection Route (ex Armed Forces), to fulfil a dream of adventuring to the Great Wall of China, becoming an international award-winner in their industry, to changing career direction in pursuit of their lifelong purpose, I help people to live a life they love. 

“ONE DAY, YOUR LIFE WILL FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES. MAKE SURE IT’S WORTH WATCHING!”

– Gerard Way

As an Occupational Therapist and Mental fitness Specialist, I teach people to get out of their comfort zone, develop strategies to become MindFit, and back a kitbag to have sustainable mental wellbeing

I believe we can all HAVE MORE, BE MORE, and DO MORE to live an adventurous life - whatever that means to you!

Out of hours, I am a Glasgow girl, and proud of my Scottish roots. I’m also a mum to three resourceful, strong and independent women.  I am a free-spirited, stubbornly optimistic, ambassador, of adventure. I’ve discovered how to achieve the balance of family life and work-life, whilst finding time to enjoy my life.

A FREE SPIRIT!

Tell me about your adventures!

I love partaking in outdoor adventures, triathlons and connecting with people from all walks of life with interesting stories to tell.

My Mental Fitness Kitbag is packed full of the wisdom, insights and skills I’ve acquired through my professional career, personal life experiences and surviving the perfect storm.

I am childishly excited about living my life’s adventure and helping you to live yours too. One day my life will flash before my eyes, I love that it will have been worth watching!

Testimonials

Polly brings a lovely blend of compassion, insight and energy which allowed all the participants to find their own way during the initial exploration part of the masterclass. I’d personally only been in one to one coaching sessions previously so really enjoyed the learning that came from hearing other people share their breakthrough thoughts when we came back into the group setting. Thanks Polly, it was a great session which keeps coming back to me and has sparked plenty conversations with my clients, friends and family.

- Duncan O' Brien, Personal Wellbeing Coach - UK

Polly has been an amazing coach. Polly has helped me to adjust my lens see things from a more helpful perspective, introducing grounding techniques, confidence building strategies, and bringing a sensory approach, and breathing techniques to help me when work circumstances leave me feeling stressed and anxious. She has given me the skills to handle situations and tasks that have caused me anxiety and stress, showing compassion and understanding during every session.

- Abi Moffat, School Teacher, UK

Just a fabulously strong, adventurous, curious, kind and clever human living her life and shining a light for us.

I would highly recommend The Mental Fitness Coach if you get stuck and life gets you down.

Polly Brennan is a phenomenal coach with many tools and techniques in her KitBag to help you move forward with hope and positivity to enjoy life’s adventures

- Anon

Polly’s skills lie in her ability to quickly understand and see the person in front of her. Her method of coaching is person-centred - definitely not a one size fits all approach. She meets you where you are at and then works with you to help you understand where you want to be and how to get there – without you getting in your own way!

Polly has the most incredible energy levels of anyone I have ever known. Her passion, dedication and enthusiasm for her work shine through and inspire everyone whose lives she touches. Working with Polly is an absolute joy.

I can genuinely say that I wouldn’t be where I am both professionally and personally if it wasn’t for Polly’s unique skills and way of working. Her incisiveness, honesty and humour have enabled me to look at myself and my responses with compassion and fortitude and I have been able to make my world a better place. I recommend Polly wholeheartedly!
