Hi, I’m Katie<\/h1>\n

<\/span><\/h6>\n
Here’s a little bit about me, <\/span><\/h6>\n
My BURNout and mental health\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed + BURNED OUT…<\/h2>\n

My entire life I\u2019d been an overachiever, a perfectionist. Throwing myself at everything I did, 110%. My professional life was no different.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For 15 years I helped leaders of Governments, Businesses and Start-Ups to\u00a0<\/span>improve how they worked and polish their image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

But the constant demands and internal politics left me overwhelmed and unfulfilled. I hit BURNOUT and my physical and mental health crumbled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew that I needed to make some big changes if I were to get better and stay better, but I had no idea where to start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Removing overwhelm and recovering from burnout<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

With therapy, coaching and lots of self-reflection, I began to understand what I really wanted and started planning how to get it, step-by-step.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I used what I learned in the previous 15 years to create a clear, simple plan to start my own business. One that would allow me to be successful AND look after my mental health (it’s possible to do both, honest!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>With these new ways of working there was far less overwhelm; my anxiety faded, my confidence returned and my business grew.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I help overwhelmed people and businesses avoid burnout and nurture mental health with simple, practical coaching, traing and wellbeing strategies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sound good?<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve told you what to expect when working with me but not who to expect, so here goes…<\/p>\n

I’m a smiler – my big, shiny teeth are on show a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

I celebrate the smallest things, sometimes with high fives. If that’s not your thing then I’m probably not either.
<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m fond of tears – happy or sad ones. I’ll try not to highjack yours, I promise.<\/p>\n

My B.S radar is pretty strong. I routinely call myself out and there’s a chance I’ll (gently) do the same with you.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.6″ text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

I adore Malbec, salty butter, travelling and cheesy 90s music. Only bring these up if you’ve got some real time to talk!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m a recovering perfectionist but you can still expect me to be very organised and very prepared, across a simple mix of paper and tech.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My word is my bond (said in my poshest English accent).<\/span><\/p>\n

I love accents but I’m pretty bad at them, much to the despair of my American partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get in touch if you would like to hear me try out yours!<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY AM I HERE?<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m here to make burnout extinct. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Because it\u2019s absolutely awful and I don\u2019t want anyone to experience it again, EVER!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve lived it, you won\u2019t need more of an explanation than that.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t, then I want to keep you safe, calm and burnout-free.\u00a0And if you lead a team, I want you to be able to support them to do the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Burnout is the result of prolonged periods of work-based stress that nearly always stem from feelings of overwhelm.<\/p>\n

By breaking things down – be that sensitive mental health conversations or important projects for your business – we remove overwhelm and create spaces where us humans can thrive.<\/p>\n

And who wouldn\u2019t want that?
<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m combining my lived experiences and passion to extinguish burnout with my academic and professional expertise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a taster of how I have built up that expertise with continued learning and development:<\/span><\/p>\n

    I kept putting off creating a plan to get my new podcast up and running. It felt overwhelming, I was questioning my idea, and my confidence dropped. <\/span>
    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    From the first session, working with Katie was great. I broke through my excuses and drilled into my idea to make a clear plan. <\/span>Now, I know what I want to do and how. I have a plan to stick to so things don’t get delayed.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>Katie helped me see the project was far simpler than I thought. My feelings of overwhelm disappeared and were replaced with calmness, confidence and excitement. Now, my faith in my idea grows every time I talk about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    I was managing many projects at once, I was stressed and unproductive. I wanted the time, space and energy to bring clarity and effectiveness to my work. I wanted to understand what was important v urgent.<\/span>
    <\/span>
    <\/span>That\u2019s what I\u2019ve discovered with Katie. She is very attentive, with great energy and straightforward questions to get your goals clearer and simpler. <\/span>
    <\/span>
    <\/span>I\u2019ve found a better balance in my own time management to build my online course. I\u2019m now able to find the right pace of development without getting overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for effective upgrades in themself and time-management<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    I really wanted to get fit but I struggled with motivation. Katie dug deep into my reasons for inaction and I realised I was focusing on the wrong thing.<\/span>
    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    We reassessed why fitness mattered to me and it went way deeper than expected. It was about respecting what was really important and taking control of my life.\u00a0<\/span>With a new, inspiring goal I stayed on track and she helped me to overcome challenges as they came up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Exercise has now become an important part of my life, but the things I learned about myself in the process were applied to the way I work, live and how I understand happiness. Thank you Katie!<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    Before starting with Katie I was feeling overwhelmed because I had a <\/span>lot of unfinished projects and not enough structure. I felt unfocused. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Now, as I continue working with her, I\u2019m moving towards a very focused perspective of what I am doing and offering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I would highly recommend Katie as she has tons of experience with executive coaching and consulting. She has a real love of organising and keeping people focused on their goals and I have no doubt that with her guidance, one will reach them.<\/span><\/p>\n
