Coaching for complex, high‑stakes roles and significant career transitions.
With over 16 years of leadership experience in public and private sectors, I understand organizational complexities and the many layers involved in high-stakes decision-making.
​
Having led large teams through significant changes and projects, my strengths lie in helping others figure out their professional path and coach them through major career moments, including role changes, organizational restructures and pivots in direction.Â
​
The goal of my executive coaching style is to equip you with the tools you need to take the next steps in your professional career that are right for you, and sharpen the tools you already possess.Â
​
How I Work
A whole-person informed approach which focuses on the individual, their characteristics and needs, and their wider context.Â
Phase 1: Foundation
We begin by establishing a safe, confidential space. This is where we explore your coaching needs and the specific challenges you face.
Phase 2: Challenge
Using a Gestalt-informed lens, we challenge perspectives to uncover alternative ways of thinking.
Phase 3: Action
Together, we move from insight to action. We focus on sound judgment and sustainable effectiveness.
Phase 4: Transformation
Our engagements typically span 6+ sessions. This allows for deep reflection, the opportunity to co-develop actions, implement and assess.

Client Insights
I am so grateful for the completely focused attention to detail Kate brings to my sessions. She picks up on things I hadn’t even noticed myself saying and she makes connections with previous sessions and issues that I wouldn’t have spotted myself. These conversations help me understand my situation, and what I want going forward, in a clearer way. Â
