Hello!

Hypnotherapist & Coach
Problem-Solver
Learning Geek

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 navigate their lives and make changes in a way that feels authentic to them.

I work with both adults and young people, helping them to let go of unhelpful beliefs, explore new ideas and possibilities, and achieve their goals. All in a way that works for them and their brain.

Using a blend of therapeutic and coaching techniques we work with both the conscious and subconscious mind. This depth of work 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. I’ll help you to design a bespoke toolbox of techniques, strategies, healthy habits and beliefs to enhance your wellbeing and feel like you can cope with whatever the day throws at you.

Let’s do some stuff together.

Kind Words

“My time with Kate enabled me to look at things from different perspectives, this has all had a great positive impact. Kate is insightful, skilled and nurturing and I would really recommend working with her. I found the whole experience extremely calming and great for the soul.”

Catherine

“I have felt I have lost who I am, feel misunderstood, angry and anxious a lot of the time, being triggered very easily and not understanding why. Just one session with Kate took me to a place where I could regain my inner calm and realise who I am. I’d highly recommend that anyone reading this to take that step and contact Kate!”

Charlotte

“My self belief has gone sky high. I feel such confidence that I have never felt before. I never anticipated that I would get so much out of my time with Kate. It’s like a veil has been lifted and I finally feel an inner peace in myself. I couldn’t recommend it enough.”

Emma

“I came to see Kate struggling with my identity after a career break. Through a combination of coaching and hypnosis Kate helped me attack my CV with excitement and confidence and within just two sessions I had a clearer idea of what I wanted to be doing and how to get there with renewed ambition and self-belief. The hypnosis helped me to bolster this confidence and focus on the tasks we had discussed in the sessions. Now I am ready to start contacting prospective employers and am excited about my next chapter.”

Hayley

“I got so much out of every session with Kate. Working through some really in depth aspects of my life, my past and my future, I feel like a new woman. My confidence has increased and I feel my clients are seeing this in my work. I view success as such a positive thing now, whereas previously it scared me. I can often hear Kate’s voice in my head. She has become my self check when I have a wobble. Absolute game changer for me.”
