what my clients are saying
“When I first met Kate I was grappling with my ‘what next?’ with lots of circular conversations going round unproductively in my head. It was only when I began my coaching sessions with Kate that I was able to move forward constructively. Her calming presence and insightful questions helped me navigate and eventually answer my ‘what next?’ question. She helped me reconnect with my superpower as a generalist and own it with a confidence and clarity I’ve never had before. This ultimately helped me find the perfect role I didn’t know I was looking for. Thank you Kate!”
— Rachael, Chief Executive
Kate’s coaching helped me find clarity in what I wanted for my future, drawing from my past successes and strengths to form a plan to take control of me and how I move forward.

“The Shake It Up coaching programme helped me to take the final step in reaching the decision to make a change to my working life and pursue a new career. It also helped me to recognise and listen to my own voice and what it is guiding me to do. Thank you for listening to me, for your positivity and encouragement. I found the sessions very helpful and they gave me the nudge I needed to pursue what I want to do with the rest of my working life, to feel the fear, assess that fear, challenge it, and start to make the changes.”
— Julie, Seni0r Debt Advisor
“Kate is a brilliant coach and has provided invaluable support to help navigate some challenging times and difficult decisions. The sessions are always positive, and she is able to pull out lots of different tools and ideas for any situation. When asked Kate will offer a different perspective, which is always insightful. I strongly recommend working with her.”
— Matt, Founder
“Shake Up and Shine with Kate really helped me create an image of where it is I want to go. Instead of feeling daunted by the task of branching out into a new area, I feel excited and energised. I loved the walking bit.”
— Aine, Teacher
“It was great working with Kate. She is a very active listener who also asks the right questions, and draws out ideas and insights that you may have overlooked or forgotten about. Having a good dynamic with a coach is essential – and Kate's approach made me feel very comfortable. I went away with a lot of useful notes and a plan of action for my freelance goals, I highly recommend her.”
—Becky, Freelance Writer & Creative Practitioner
“Kate was brilliant. She got me to think about the situation in a completely different way, got me to organise my thoughts, consider stuff that I hadn't verbalised before, redo my CV and apply for roles outside of TV - stuff which I am still thinking about, but from a position of strength rather than sadness or desperation. The upshot is, shortly after our session, I managed to get TWO actual TV job offers, which seemed like a miracle in the current climate I've also applied for an apprenticeship, which would be a big and very different step. I'm extremely grateful to have been supported to rediscover the confidence to push ahead with all this.”
— Lucy, TV Director & Producer
“A breath of fresh air!”
— Claire, Executive Coach & Former Chief Finance Officer
“Kate has a beautiful, warm and person-centric approach which never fails to create a wonderful environment for thinking. Her innate passion for learning for herself and others is infectious; this, coupled with her ability to encourage and challenge, means you always move forward as a result of coaching time with her.”
— Jo, Senior People Manager
“Kate is very attentive, kind, and insightful. She helped me to understand and rewrite some beliefs I didn't even realise I had about myself which were holding me back in my work. She is skilled at playing back what she's heard, and offering practical tools to help break patterns of thinking. I left each session feeling really motivated and inspired, and feeling like I'd learned heaps.”
