Reduce overwhelm about the future and which path to pursue next
Diffuse the stressful negativity of poorly chosen friends, mismatched teachers, or troubled family life
Overcome the despair of a painful break up or friendship struggles
End ‘compare and despair’ social media anxiety
Push through to the finish line on a big goal—even when life has hit your teen with some serious sucker punches

Implement positive habits such as healthy eating, time management, and exercise
“The purpose of my coaching is to help your teen gain a greater sense of control over their emotional life and their reactions to setbacks. As a teenager who had chronic anxiety and an eating disorder during high school, I know how it feels to struggle with a sense of lack of control during the turbulence of adolescence. So I teach them the awareness, motivation and tools they need to begin to understand their emotions, change their thought processes and be well on their way to transitioning from a fixed to a growth mindset - the foundation of true resilience in life.”

“Kate’s coaching is unique, and I would most definitely recommend her over a counselor or psychologist. As someone who has been to both, I have found Kate’s coaching more practical and productive as she helps you understand your thoughts and feelings and how to move through them, rather than just talking about how to cope. Before the sessions, she gives you questions and little activities to help you work through your thoughts and continue the coaching outside of the sessions, so that its not just once a week for an hour that your receiving support. Another thing I love about Kate’s coaching is that no matter when—you can reach out to her with a ramble of thoughts and she is able to help you through them. For example, one time I was struggling with a friendship dynamic. I couldn’t sleep and wrote down all my thoughts in an email at about 11 pm and sent it to Kate. She emailed me back the next day with some guidance and then in our next session we discussed in detail and worked through it. Her support in the sessions, as well as outside, provides you with the most productive way to overcome your situation and gain clarity on your thoughts 24/7.”
“After seeing psychologists for several years and still feeling stuck with the same problems, I knew that it was time to try something different. In my first half-hour session with Kate, I felt like I had already gained so much knowledge. There was just a genuineness about Kate where it felt like you were really listening to what I was saying, and whilst she showed kindness and compassion towards the thought patterns I presented, she also never beat around the bush with her advice. This for me was important as it gave me the wake-up call that I needed.”
“My parents first started to look into coaching as an option for me after I felt as though I needed some extra help in dealing with the different situations in my life. Coaching felt like the right option for me as I knew what I was going through wasn’t normal, but I didn’t feel like seeing a psychologist. I wanted help but not from someone who I felt might try and diagnose me, I wanted action. Before coaching with Kate I constantly felt angry and frustrated with myself. I couldn’t relax. At times I found it difficult to fall asleep at night. Kate helped me see the power of my thoughts as a trigger for actions. During a particularly challenging exam time, I was able to understand my thoughts and act upon them which helped me create better outcomes. My life remained balanced and healthy. I felt like I could study so much more productively and still allow myself time to relax. This was a major improvement. ”

Whilst Kate doesn’t have the university degree of a clinical psychologist or therapist, Kate’s coaching is based on many principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but with her own personal twist - because she always struggled to connect with content that is too ‘’dry’’ or formal. So by intertwining CBT with her own personal experiences and qualifications as a life coach, she has the ability to connect with teens in a really meaningful way. Therefore they’re very open to taking on board her insights and actually practicing the strategies she teaches because it’s taught to them in a real and relatable way.
This is important because teens’ brains are naturally wired to push against ‘’authority figures’’ during adolescence - so the messenger becomes just as important as the message! This is why Kate loves what she does because she fills that gap where she’s young enough to be relatable but old enough to be someone they look up to/respect... who isn’t just Mum or Dad! ;)

Absolutely. Life coaching is not intended to help people recover from emotional or other psychological disorders such as clinical depression, anxiety, substance abuse, disordered eating, physical and emotional abuse, and any other psychological condition that requires a deep excavation of one's past to facilitate healing. Therapy would be the right protocol in those situations.

Client Success Stories
“The results of coaching with Kate have blown my mind! I am able to stay positive and calm dealing with my ex husband. I am able to open up and be honest in my relationship. I am able to be more patient with my children. I have taken massive action towards creating a successful business that I love and the job of my dreams. I am on my way to achieving more goals with my fitness and hobbies. I am ticking off things that I have always wanted to do but haven’t had the determination to follow through with.”
“Coaching with Kate has honestly been such a game changer for me. The growth that I have experienced since working with her has been in leaps and bounds—not only in my internal thought processes but also in how I show up to the world and how I interact with others. Kate has helped me become much less critical of myself and understand that I do not have to prove my worth to anyone, nor do I have to reach certain benchmarks to feel worthy. I have no regrets in signing up and think that if anyone needs the push to make positive changes in their life but doesn’t feel they can do it, Kate gives them the gentle push and tools to show them that they are capable of making those changes!”
“Before my first session with Kate, I was nervous and perhaps even a little bit apprehensive. However, from the moment the call connected for our first session, I felt a sense of ease. Although you are faced with tough questions and you are delving into the deepest crevices of your inner self that haven’t seen the light of day for years, there is absolutely no hint of judgment and you are always left with a range of tools to weave into each day of your life to ensure that you show up as the best version of yourself.
In the short time that I have had the honour of having Kate as my coach, I have noticed a real and significant shift in my self-confidence and in my resilience. I am more aware of the thoughts that I have and the impact that these thoughts have on my feelings and behaviour. I am beginning to embrace the idea of living life and dreaming on purpose, and this sparks a sense of excitement for the future.”
“I was able to pour my heart out to Kate. It surprised me the areas that we covered. From the self depletion of a bad score on my assignments at university, to arguments with parents to feeling anxiety about the future, Kate provided me with an activity or a solution to the drama my thoughts were creating. I now have tools to prevent thoughts creating feelings that could be toxic to my success. Since coaching with Kate, my overall mood has changed. I’m able to go to sleep at night without a bunch of thoughts circling in my head. I’m able to wake up without dread and anxiety about scheduled tasks. I have a different outlook altogether. I feel the strength and confidence required to go outside of my comfort zone as I pursue my journalism career.”
“My mind set has shifted. I can see the differences in how I interact with people and how I view the things other people do. Also, I can see myself trying to turn situations into positives and if that can’t happen sitting with the feeling and repeating the mantra we created together. I have become a bit more open to people and I have matured more, in the sense that I don’t blame others for my feelings and I accept that I’m choosing to think a certain way about a situation which is making me feel a certain way. I have also noticed that I am trying to find the positives in all situations.”
