1:1 Coaching Sessions (Block of 3)

I initially discovered Katie through her podcasts, then began following her on Instagram, and later joined her coaching sessions. She is fabulous - her ability to listen, empathise, and gently draw solutions out of you is exceptional. Talking to Katie feels like chatting with a close friend: someone who builds you up and gives you the confidence and agency to explore solutions and new perspectives. I would urge anyone at a crossroads in their life or career (it doesn’t have to be teaching) to get in touch with her.

I can’t recommend Katie highly enough. Working with her has been genuinely life-changing at a point when I was facing one of the biggest decisions of my career - leaving my Head of School role and stepping into self-employment to build my own education business! Across our sessions, Katie helped me untangle anxious, spiraling thoughts and challenge ingrained limiting beliefs, particularly around money, security and “what if” scenarios. Instead of dismissing those fears, she guided me to explore them calmly, break them down, and reframe them into something far more empowering and manageable. I now have practical tools I use daily to quiet my inner critic and bring myself back to a grounded, rational place. What sets Katie apart is how practical and tailored her support is. Alongside the emotional work, she helped me set realistic goals, prioritise my energy, and take concrete steps to get my business off the ground - without burning myself out or operating from panic. She consistently reminded me of my strengths, past resilience, and capacity to cope, even when uncertainty felt overwhelming. I’ve come away from our work feeling clearer, calmer, and far more confident in myself and my decisions. If you’re navigating change, feeling stuck, or held back by fear or self-doubt, Katie is an exceptional coach and I’m so grateful to have had her support through this transition!

I followed Katie on Instagram for a long time and had always felt our views on life, teaching, mental health etc had aligned. When I was looking for some advice and support navigating some big life changes,and knew she had re trained as a life coach,I knew who I needed to speak to. I needed not only someone who could unpack things, explore new ways of thinking etc but also provide me with the tools to handle my negative patterns of thinking and people pleased tactics. Katie was the perfect person and has helped me so much. She has enabled me to redirect my thinking and explore the why more in my thoughts and life choices. The tools she gave me are used daily and I will book on with her again now my block has finished to touch base as and when needed. Involving Katie in my life this year has been a huge positive and one that will stay with me for years to come. Thanks again Katie!!!

I came across Katie's coaching when I didn't even know I needed to. I had already made the decision to leave my teaching job but I was so confused about what was next, where to start, how to get there and I had completely lost myself. I wasn't sure whether to take the step to start coaching with Katie but something told me to just do it and honestly I'm so glad I did because I feel like a different person now. Each session with Katie was thoughtfully crafted, building on the last, and I began to see changes I once thought were impossible. Katie's professionalism and commitment went above and beyond, offering extra support whenever I needed it. I have learnt so many new things along the way as well as tools to use and carry forward into whatever life brings. In each session, she guided me through new information and was great at explaining the reasoning or theory behind it which helped make sense of things. Her background in education was incredibly reassuring and a definte bonus; she understood my struggles on a personal level and articulated feelings I couldn't express myself. Together, we set and worked towards my goals while also focusing on rebuilding myself. I still can’t believe how far I've come, and I know it wouldn't have been possible without Katie's guidance. I highly recommend Katie to anyone in the teaching profession contemplating coaching. Take that first step for yourself—you won’t regret it!

My experience working with Katie has been utterly amazing! From the first time we chatted, I felt so listened to and heard with all my worries and concerns making steps to leave the classroom. For so long I had never really been able to talk to anyone about it but as soon as we started chatting and could share so many of the same experiences, I felt so comfortable and at ease. I hadn’t realised how important it was to feel validated in what I was feeling and know that I was not going through it alone! Katie has helped me more than words can say with my process transitioning outside of the classroom, I am so grateful for how my whole mindset has changed since working with her. I loved how we went through everything at my pace, and she always made time to answer my questions, even the silly ones! During our sessions, I really loved how we focused on the whole picture of how I was feeling regarding the massive changes I was going through. When we started looking at the different stages and processes Katie supported me and made it so much easier to identify where I was at. It was so reassuring that I was just at one stage of the journey and that so many other people had been exactly where I was. Combining these more structured aspects of our discussions with the daily tasks she recommended that I try, I slowly started to see changes in my mindset towards the future and the reassurance I wouldn’t always be stuck! What particularly stood out to me was how supported I felt not only with the topic of leaving teaching but with everything I had going on outside of my career choices from house purchases to pet dogs! It really felt like I was just talking with a friend which was exactly what I needed. I couldn’t recommend Katie more, she is such a kind and caring person with such a genuine desire to help people, her help was invaluable! After our sessions, I always knew I would feel so much more positive and confident to take on the next steps of my journey, thank you Katie!

If you're thinking about working with Katie, just do it. Over the last few months, she helped me navigate a really tough spot in my career when my confidence and self-worth were completely drained. She listened without judgment and gave me practical ways to rebuild my mindset. I went from feeling completely stuck to feeling positive, happy, and motivated.
