    Julian worked with me when he was eligible for funding.

    ‘I was granted Access to Work funding for work based strategy coaching based on my mental health condition which I have had for over a decade. 

    Kate was brilliant and focused on the whole picture.

    She helped me to break things down into manageable chunks, focus in on changes that I was in control of, and that would have real benefits at work and as a side effect, in the rest of my life outside work too.

    And somehow she managed to do in a way that felt fun, natural and organic and didn’t feel daunting or judgemental.

    As a direct result of working with Kate, my mental health improved and even the people around me commented on the positive effect it had on me.’

    FAQ'S

    Yes. I have extensive experience of supporting clients with multiple complex needs, including physical and mental health conditions, ADHD and autism. 

    My coaching approach can be particularly effective in supporting those with complex needs as it breaks things down into simple and manageable chunks, so small changes can be embedded over time and lead to bigger changes long-term.

    I use a range of proven behaviour-change techniques that I am qualified to deliver, including motivational interviewing, effective goal-setting and cognitive behavioural therapy. In addition, I provide specialist Public Health guidance on a range of topics by keeping things simple, such as habit-change, mental wellbeing, healthy lifestyles and more.

    In combination, these provide an unbeatable toolkit to create and maintain Real Change in the workplace.

    Expect a welcoming and informal two way conversation where we get to know each other, I can understand your needs and you can find out more. You will be reassured that our conversations remain confidential during consultation and throughout the entire coaching process.

    You’ll receive your Real Change welcome pack before sessions start!

    I typically have a 3-4 week waiting time from consultation to support beginning. Clients often find this useful as it allows time to process the idea of coaching and get ready to start making changes.I keep in touch with you during this time to help you with anything you need.

    This is a common question for clients but one that we can work through together. Let’s untangle where you are, where you want to be and what you need to change. My Real Change coaching helps you identify your priorities, set the right goals for you, and carve out a path which aligns with who you are and how you want your life to look.

    Working on one behaviour at a time gives you the best chance of success. However, making changes can be addictive and clients often find when they change one area of their life, a snowball effect happens, and positive changes occur in other areas without you even trying!

    My coaching is designed to empower you and your self-reliance. The techniques I use are proven to work long-term, providing you are committed to the process. If committed, you will have an excellent chance of maintaining changes. But everyone is different. Between sessions you will have access to several helpful tools to keep you on track and I offer complimentary ‘check-in’ sessions at 6 months just in case you need it!

    Yes, some clients like to work with me on a long-term basis. We will work together to find the coaching solution that works best for you.

    Having been through my own struggles I know exactly how hard that first step into the unknown can be. But coaching is a positive and exciting process which will help you make the changes that you have wanted to make for a long time. Offering a safe and confidential space for you to truly be yourself, I am here to support and guide you on your journey.

    Yes. I am a strong advocate for inclusivity and support people of all gender, ages and backgrounds.

    I have a decade of experience in professional health & wellbeing, as coach, trainer and specialist, offering a range of perspectives to help you create Real Change based on my unique professional and personal experience. I am a qualified Health Behaviour Change Coach, Life Coach and CBT Practitioner. As a Public Health professional, I have Faculty of Public Health membership and UKPHR registration, both requiring annual submission of CPD evidence to demonstrate I am working to a set level of standards and ethics. I have personally supported hundreds of clients to make and maintain positive long-term changes in both private and corporate settings.
