About Me

Hi, I’m Kate Banks

MPhys (Hons), HPD, DAHC, DPHH, MNCH (Reg.), CNHC Registered

Hello! I’m Kate and I help people change their lives through hypnotherapy and coaching (my formal training and qualifications) and my obsession with problem-solving and learning (my magic).

Before coaching and hypnotherapy became part of my life, I spent my career in Engineering; leading, designing and building complex hardware and software solutions. The tech was fun, but I absolutely thrived when helping others to achieve their goals and develop their skills. I took every opportunity to create supportive spaces for those who wanted help with personal development, career development, and inclusion and diversity.

I parted ways with the corporate world when it became clear that the culture wasn’t set up for parents who wanted to progress in leadership. After years of ticking the boxes and moulding myself into the person they wanted me to be, I was left burned out and feeling like a failure.

Since then, I’ve turned my passion for problem-solving and learning towards helping people who want to create change in their lives and work in a way that feels authentic to them. The expectations forced on us from society and other people (and sometimes ourselves!) can feel suffocating, and like you don’t fit in anywhere or there is something wrong with you.

I’m here to help you let go of that old unhelpful identity and belief system, explore new ideas and possibilities, and live a more ‘you-shaped’ life.

Together we will coach your subconscious mind; exploring your thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviours and experiences. This depth of coaching allows us to quickly uncover the answers and solutions you need from within you. It might be that you release an old belief or fear, see things from a different perspective, or rewire habituated patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviour.

Having been through this process myself, I know how powerful it is and how important it is that you feel safe and supported in a space free from judgment and opinion.

When we work together, you get the knowledge and experience from my coaching and hypnotherapy training. What you also get is my analytical, logical mind and a wealth of experience from years of team building, management, leadership and planning complex projects. This translates beautifully into helping you to explore your thoughts and your dreams, and make the learnings and shifts needed to feel more confident, calm, and in control of making transformational changes in your life.

Let’s do some stuff together.
