About me

  • Kate has such a bright and positive personality, together with a professional approach and meticulous attention to detail, that is proving invaluable to the coaching she has done with members of our team. She is able to guide and support in order to bring out the best in them whether that be in confidence, communication skills and their own professionalism; helping them as individuals and in turn, benefitting the business. It is great working with someone who understands our business vision, drive and the individual success for our team. Her step by step communication is really valuable as business owners to ensure we are aware of progress and work being done.

  • I first contacted Kate when I reached a significant crossroads in my career and was unsure what my options were next or how to get there. Through working with Kate, not only was I able to identify what my passions are, what my strengths are and what I truly wanted in my career; she also gave me the support, encouragement and confidence to be able to achieve it. Kate provided me with stellar advice and guidance along with a logical step-by-step approach of where and how to start and how to progress and supported and guided me along the journey. I cannot recommend Kate highly enough, she is an incredibly knowledgeable, driven, engaging and professional coach. She is genuine and passionate in her approach and is committed to helping her clients.

  • Working with Kate has lifted my outlook; giving me direction, motivation and reignited my drive to progress. She has helped me refocus and understand my talent and what I offer the company. Moreover going through the coaching process with her has helped me understand the career path I want for myself and the confidence to ask for this and demonstrate why this is achievable.

  • I started having coaching sessions with Kate a few months ago and cannot speak highly enough of her warmth, wisdom, good sense, and ability to see straight to the heart of an issue. Among other things she has helped me to explore greater self-awareness, an understanding of my core values, practical ways in which I can put strategies in place to help with the daily juggle of a busy working mum and has challenged me to find ways to work towards identifying realistic longer-term goals. We have been discussing organisational health – I had no idea there was such a thing - and how important it is to create an environment where teams can thrive and be successful. I have so much more to learn from Kate, and I’m so pleased I discovered her and her amazing work.

  • Having an exceptionally energetic mind it was not easy to find a coach to meet me at this level, therefore, discovering Kate was life changing, both personally and professionally. Kate has been the anchor that helped ground me and allow me to find direction with my thoughts in the most professional yet compassionate way. To know I have Kate to call on when I feel stuck with a decision or need direction in life is invaluable. The coaching world needs more Kates!

  • When I started working with Kate I felt overwhelmed with everything I had to do with the set up of my business and I lacked confidence which held me back to go out and market myself. Kate completely got where my head was at, helped me to create order with everything which needed to be done and coach me along with way of how I could move my business forward. My business set up is complete and with Kate's help the service I now offer is hugely improved which has enabled to believe in myself and work on my marketing strategy. My husband noticed a difference in me after every session from Kate, as he could see I felt more positive and more in control. I would recommend Kate without doubt to anyone needing direction, support, and a proper business strategy; she’s an absolute joy!

  • After every session with Kate I feel positive, energised and refocussed. Her monthly sessions are invaluable to me.

  • I have been working with Kate for over a year and the effect her guidance and support has had on my stress levels, time management and general efficiencies at my job has been incredible. I never thought I would like coaching but I have found it utterly invaluable and Kate has become a firm fixture in my working life. She helps me to see problems in an alternative way, she teaches me how to approach challenges differently, she is a wise sounding board when I am up against a problem and she has helped me to become better at what I do. I cannot recommend her enough.

  • Everyone needs you in their life! You were a calm voice of reason at a time when I was feeling so lost and overwhelmed. You guided me with such skill to work out what I needed to focus on and you have taught me so many skills in order to run my business and life so much more effectively. Thank you so very much.

    Tom O'Conner
    Manager at Tech Agency

  • I asked Kate to come in to work with my team to support them with major changes taking place within our industry, as well as helping them to become better at what they do, how they work and the service we offer as a whole. Kate was able to get to the heart of the different challenges the team was facing very quickly, while at the same time, gaining the trust and confidence of them all. She has helped the team to become more efficient with their time, more aware of their strengths and weaknesses and how to deal with these and this has had a direct result on the improved service they provide to clients, both new and existing.I have noticed significant changes in the way they are all working and the team unanimously agreed on how beneficial this process has been for them. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate and the service she offers.

  • Our session exceeded my expectations. I’ve always said knowledge is power and you have certainly empowered me to kick start my next chapter! Thank you so much and I can't wait for my next session already!

  • Kate was asked to present to three different teams within the business, which represents how relevant and cross functional Kate’s material is to businesses. The teams all came away understanding how to feel more empowered and confident within their roles. Kate also covered time management techniques as well as how to create the best impression of yourself in the business environment. All teams unanimously agreed that Kate’s style was engaging and personable and the presentation was of real benefit to the whole team and helped raise their moral and have taken these learnings forward.

  • I started working with Kate as I needed to cope better with the requirements set out by the company for more client meetings. Kate supported and guided me through devising a plan as to how to achieve this. I am now meeting clients more, asking for referrals and feel much more confident in my role. Working with Kate was a huge factor in making this happen.

    Jim Trafford
    Divisional Director, Investec Private Wealth & Investment

  • Kate was able to ask questions to help me work out my weaknesses that were beneath the surface but had not really considered before. I found networking and professional socialising situations challenging so Kate was able to provide training on how I should prepare and deal with these more effectively. The impact has been very positive and has had wider implications. I am more positive and confident; more relaxed in front of clients, leading to better conversations, better relationships and therefore, better prospects for new business from client referrals. My advice to others in the same situation would be to “take the plunge” as this has been such a worthwhile, positive, professional and rewarding process, if you go with an open mind.

    Charles Lawson
    Investment Director, Investec Wealth Management

  • Being self employed and working on your own, day in, day out is tough and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. \nAfter working with Kate for just a few hours, I had more structure to my business, a clear plan, my confidence was boosted and, most importantly, I felt more in control of what I was doing. Kate’s positivity is extremely uplifting and you know you are in safe hands when talking about areas of your work that are causing challenges. She’s absolutely brilliant.
