Katie has a way of making coaching feel easy and natural. Her calm, relaxed speech and body language create the perfect environment for open conversations. She’s great at picking up on important points and exploring them further, while integrating useful exercises that really enhance the experience. The sessions are both incredibly helpful and enjoyable. After such a positive experience, I’ve been recommending coaching with Katie to friends and family. Thank you, Katie!

I really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Katie. She was supportive and at the same time, empowering. I was in a very vulnerable place at the time but came out of that and recovered my strength and resilience with her help and guidance. Thank you for all your help-continue to be brilliant!

Madhuri-GP and CCG Clinical Lead

 Katie has been brilliant throughout my sessions. I feel that she created a space whereby I could be completely honest. She reflected my thinking back in a way that allowed me to challenge my thoughts and patterns. The sessions had an easy flow to them, it felt like I was confiding to a close friend. Katie has encouraged me to understand myself better and I feel that these skills will benefit me for the rest of my career. I am very grateful thank you.

Thanks Katie, for supporting me in the time when I was going through a rough patch in my life. I gained a lot of awareness and perspective. Katie was very supportive and challenging which helped me to come out of my one-track thinking and think of new coping strategies. Katie is very creative in her sessions. She herself is so grounded and kind, that brought lot of comfort to me, and I was able to open up and share. She is very present in sessions, and she creates a safe space to think and explore. I loved working with her and had an amazing breakthrough.

Thanks once again Katie for walking with me when I really wanted a coach like you.

Katie had an amazing coaching style that put me at ease & allowed me to navigate towards identifying & achieving my goals. Katie’s coaching sessions were the stepping stones to make the change I longed for but had been unable to do without the tools & techniques she introduced to the sessions.  Katie had a totally professional approach to coaching. Our sessions gave me the confidence to break out of my comfort zone. She has a unique style that encouraged me to become the best version of myself as she skilfully introduced exercises that enabled me to take that leap of faith – I’ve never looked back since.

Helen C-Learning and Development Manager

Katie has been phenomenal. She always listened attentively and was incredibly astute in her observations particularly with the words I was using, my body language, tone and content of what I was talking about.

She quickly recognised what the potential issues were by allowing me to reflect on those points and what my innermost thoughts were. She used exercises to stretch my thinking about the issue and had exercises at the tip of her fingers regardless of what I was throwing at her.

I felt the space was safe enough for me to show my vulnerabilities without being judged. Those sessions were often the most beneficial for me because I really was able to think on a deep level about what was happening and the impact of those challenges on me. Katie’s body language was open, she was always 100% focused, never interrupted and gave me plenty of space and time to stretch my thinking by picking up on what I was saying and doing.

I asked to be challenged in my thinking and she kindly obliged. The questions she asked were always non-judgmental and probing enough for me to think about why I am the way I am and if I need to change (which I did).

The changes I have made have been incredibly beneficial for me, my family and colleagues. I feel I have increased confidence in my own ability, recognise my strengths, have developed strategies on how to address potentially confrontational or difficult situations and been able to put boundaries in place to achieve the work – life balance which has eluded me through most of my working life.

The coaching from Katie has been life-changing for me. I will always be grateful and feel privileged to have been coached by her.

Coaching with Katie gave me protected time and a confidential and safe space to work through in my own mind the details of the situation that I needed to confront and change.

It provided me with the realisation that I had choices I could make when I didn’t think I did. Most importantly this enabled me to believe that I had the resources within me to make the changes I needed in order to pave a new pathway for my career.

Katie presented me with the space for ‘blue sky thinking’ which tapped into creative

resources which were always there within me but had probably been suppressed by feeling overburdened with responsibilities.

The explorative aspect of coaching with Katie was particularly useful for me as being able to analyse in a cost vs benefit way helped me to feel confident that I had properly thought through decisions.

From my coaching sessions I gained courage to make difficult choices, and I learnt to believe in myself again.

When I read through this again, I realise that the words truly reflect the journey I have been on and furthermore exemplify Katie’s brilliant skills as a coach in helping me achieve that.

Charlotte-GP

Katie’s coaching was really helpful to give me a confidential safe space to think during a very stressful period of my life. It helped me to consider why I wanted to have better boundaries at work, and how specifically I was going to achieve that.

When a new and bigger problem came up unexpectedly halfway through the coaching, Katie was very willing to address that in order to help me get back on track with my original goal.

I feel I now have a better work-life balance, and better boundaries, and have a plan in place to improve both yet further. Katie was extremely effective in asking very pertinent questions to make me think about issues in a new way. I honestly can’t think of anything Katie could improve on- she was excellent!

Right from the start I found Katie to be extremely professional in her approach to coaching me. She created a completely safe space for me to be more open than I ever have been. Katie challenged me pretty hard at times and was very comfortable holding the silence after. This really stretched me at times, which was what I had asked Katie to do.

Katie has a very calm demeanour and is never phased. She finds great questions and was never afraid to try something a bit different. The models/techniques used always seemed appropriate and added value.

Katie sent some follow-up emails after sessions for me to reflect further and/or prepare for the next session. This showed a strong commitment in her work.

Each session started afresh which gave me space to talk about the important things in that moment, but Katie always tried to keep me aligned to my overall goals.

I would strongly recommend Katie to anyone that wanted transformational coaching.

Nick Weal-LTA Head of Performance Coaching

As someone who finds it especially difficult to trust, open up and engage in any kind of coaching or therapy, I have found Katie an incredible individual to work with. Her knowledge, insight and expertise are impressive and matched by her empathy, compassion, and warmth. Through a period of coaching, I feel Katie has helped me through challenges and tribulations which would without doubt have been impossible to negotiate alone.

Katie has a wealth of knowledge and experience above anyone I have worked with previously. I have found her approach to be insightful and wide, using various methods and techniques to explore issues and experiences. I felt that Katie guided me through sessions, as I found my own answers and conclusions, in a safe and trusting space.

I could not have made a better decision than working with Katie. I whole heartedly recommend Katie to anyone.

JH-doctor

I can 110% recommend Katie as an expert coach. What differentiates her is that outputs from my time with Katie have genuinely become habitual and continue to influence both my professional and personal interactions for the better.  Katie expertly combines a very structured and methodological approach to her coaching with an approach that makes you feel at ease with reflection, self-critique and leading yourself by way of solutions to improve.  What has stuck with me, more than other leadership coaching I have had over my career, is a much deeper understanding of my values and how they can bolster my effectiveness as a leader, managing differences and considerations around wellbeing – for myself and others.

Enzo Straccia-Engagement manager

Going on this journey with Katie has helped me find strengths that were buried and honestly confront the weaknesses that could sabotage my workplace success. The questions and problems that surfaced during the coaching journey helped me bring my career goals into sharp focus. I was encouraged by the sessions to build a path for my career that works uniquely for me.  We had a few conversations around managing difficult people and situations at work. She would never collude with me but used questions to bring out my feelings and point the way to solutions that were team-enabling. It has been a profoundly empowering journey for me, and I have enrolled on a coaching course myself so I can help others find their unique voice and confidence early in their careers.

The coaching sessions I had with Katie always provided me with an opportunity to get a deeper understanding on topics and situations that felt entangled in my mind – each session with her was an untangling process and I often left feeling lighter and clearer.

Katie has a way of creating a coaching space where I felt that whatever direction I wanted to go in was welcomed. She always held the unfolding exploration in a very open, patient and supportive manner. Katie was a champion who wanted the best for me. Her approach felt pragmatic, and I often left the conversations with an idea of what I needed to do next.

Adé Adéniji, Coach | Consultant

Katie was a very helpful and thoughtful coach who supported me at a critical time in my career. She was kind and focused in her attention and put me at ease by being gentle calm and patient in our zoom meetings and bringing her attention with focus and empathy. She helped me view the situation l was in more holistically by using exercises to help me review the other aspects and points of view in the process. l found l was using her questions to refer to as another voice in my head to help me understand and then move forward with my decisions. This was a safe way to explore and express my thoughts and feelings about my situation and concerns about possible consequences. It allowed me to process different perspectives and discuss difficult emotions and now l have a new approach towards my life moving forward. I feel confident that l will continue with my life with clarity and confidence and am grateful for her wisdom and understanding.
