Who I Work With

I work with creative and curious minds eager to navigate their professional and personal worlds with enhanced clarity, purpose, and impact. I’m here for those who aspire to think innovatively, work effectively, lead inspirationally, and live a life resonating with meaningful accomplishments and self-discovery.

  • “Kate is a great coach and has a way of tricking you into thinking you are just having a really natural conversation when actually she is doing really deep coaching with you. She is a joy to work with and so bright and insightful. She really helped me to make big shifts and I also learned a lot of tools and techniques from her to use for myself.”

  • "Kate is brilliant at helping breakdown and figure out ways of working better - both for business as well as your own mental health and happiness. Kate helped me to digest and target areas of my professional and personal life that had been bugging me for years and gave me tools and techniques to improve my working methods and gives me space to think."

  • “Kate worked with me to identify my strengths and unlocked potential through a tailored series of consultation sessions. Her approach was supportive and authentic. I immediately trusted her. I was particularly impressed with the neuro-informed process she facilitates. She shared the research that underpins her practice, which helped me engage and understand - both the way our brains work but also, how we can overcome the learned pathways and make changes. It felt like opening a door for me.”

  • “Kate inspires and builds confidence drawing out the skills that you know you have but may have forgotten! Her neuroscience knowledge helps you understand the ‘why’ and how we can rewire those neural pathways to power success and happiness! Highly recommend! .”

  • “Working with Kate has been a real eye opener for me. It feels like you’re given a key to unlock your brain of it’s limitations helping you to develop business ideas, personal goals and general well-being. Kate does this with enthusiasm and encouragement and always brings a sense of purpose to each session. I can’t recommend Kate highly enough as a coach. She is instantly likeable, warm, reassuring and determined. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance.”

  • "I’ve worked with Kate personally and professionally and it was a brilliant experience! I found the tools she used for personal insight and understanding my strengths, skills and values incredibly useful - I’m much more self aware as a result. The one to one coaching sessions we’ve had have covered a range of topics from productivity to dealing with difficult situations and building confidence - they were always really energising and with lots of practical follow up activities to try.

  • "As a coach Kate has an expansive skill set that she utilises to support her Coachees to work through their challenges in ways that are smart, helpful and engaging. This is a differentiator that sets her apart from other coaches I’ve partnered with. At Publicis Groupe she’s been able to navigate the different leadership roles and the challenges that can come with working in the Media industry to support our leaders to work to their fullest potential.
