About

Meet Kate

I am a trauma integration coach and educator who understands firsthand the challenges of overcoming trauma. Holding an ICF Certification in transformative coaching, I work with clients one-on-one, conduct workshops, and offer talks on the impact of trauma in our lives.

My journey to recovery has been a winding one, marked by trials and tribulations that have ultimately shaped my approach to coaching. Throughout my life, I have struggled with mental health, addictions, sexual trauma, eating disorders, toxic relationships, and emotional dysregulation. I have been diagnosed and misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, neurodivergence, c-PTSD, PTSD, clinical depression and high-functioning anxiety. Raised in an environment where mental health was stigmatised, I grappled with a myriad of issues from an early age.

Through therapy, coaching, and education, I discovered that trauma was the root cause of the majority of the issues I faced. This prompted me to pursue a career change and become a coach and educator specialising in trauma integration. This is when my own recovery accelerated. By processing my unresolved trauma and focusing on the mind-body connection, I managed to shift out of victim and survival mode, nurture my response flexibility, and replace maladaptive behaviours with life-affirming actions. Now, through my work, I strive to help women reconnect with their true selves, break free from the shackles of trauma, and build lives filled with purpose and fulfilment.

I acknowledge that we can't erase past experiences or completely change societal norms, but by understanding and integrating our trauma, we can change ourselves and the course of our future.

What sets me apart is my dedication to bringing compassion, respect, acceptance, healing, and connection into my work. This allows you to access your inner truth and wisdom in the present moment, freeing yourself from self-generated suffering caused by maladaptive behaviours.

Central to my approach is assisting you in identifying the unconscious narratives you tell yourself, what those beliefs are, understanding their origins, and supporting you in exploring the potential of letting go of those narratives. This allows you to cultivate self-awareness, embrace self-acceptance, and effectuate lasting positive change through action.

I understand the profound impact that trauma can have on individuals and their relationships. With deep empathy and sensitivity, I create a safe and nurturing environment for healing and growth.

My coaching methodology is firmly rooted in evidence-based techniques and principles. I draw from Compassionate Inquiry®, the Polyvagal Theory, somatic experiencing, CBT, positive psychology, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems and goal-setting strategies. I meld this foundation with intuitive guidance and attentive listening, ensuring your unique needs are addressed while honouring your journey towards recovery and resilience.

I am continuously building on my knowledge and training. I am currently completing a year-long, graduate-level qualification in Compassionate Inquiry®, “a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.”

Testimonials

  • “Kate is a delightful company to be with during a coaching session. As for me being an HSP person, I definitely consider her pace, calmness and her good time management the safest place to be. As a trauma integration coach, Kate is skilled with different tools that support me with the awareness of my body's response towards my fear and insecurity anchored in events from the past. With her full presence and space holding, I’ve always left after a session with the feeling that there was nothing wrong with me, that I could simply trust in my process and the right decisions would come!”

    Milena

  • “In the realm of trauma, finding a coach who is not only knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate is a rare gift. I am immensely thankful for the pivotal role she played in my journey towards healing and empowerment. To anyone navigating the aftermath of divorce or breakup, I wholeheartedly recommend seeking the support of a trauma integration coach like Kate– someone who will stand by you, understand your unique challenges, and guide you towards a brighter, more resilient future.”

    Olivia

  • “One area where Kate’s expertise truly shone was in helping me redirect my focus towards the future. With a keen understanding of my aspirations, especially in terms of my business plans, she skillfully assisted me in crafting a vision beyond the pain of the past. Together, we charted a course for personal and professional growth, providing me with a roadmap for rebuilding my life on my own terms. Her ability to intertwine the emotional and practical aspects of recovery was a beacon of hope in what initially felt like an insurmountable darkness.”

    Caroline

  • “I recently started a new business and was feeling overwhelmed trying to juggle work/life balance whilst being a parent to a toddler. My biggest issue was my negative attitude towards myself and the ability to focus Kate really helped with these factors as I was set tasks which would enable me to overcome specific situations that I didn’t want to face, but were essential for my business. She kept me accountable at all times and I always felt great after my session with her. Without her, I’d still be giving myself a hard time and in a rut of my never ending unfinished to-do lists. I’d highly recommend Kate and have felt that I’ve learnt so much about myself”

    Natasha

  • “From our very first session, it was evident that Kate possessed a unique ability to be fully present with me. In the midst of the emotional turbulence that accompanies divorce, especially from a narcissistic partner, her skill in holding space created a safe haven where I could freely explore my feelings and vulnerabilities. This empathetic approach, coupled with genuine compassion, provided me with the comfort I desperately needed during a time of profound emotional upheaval.”

    Olivia

  • “What truly sets Kate apart is her commitment to equipping me with practical tools to navigate the journey of recovery. She tailored her guidance to suit my individual needs, offering strategies and coping mechanisms that were both accessible and effective. These tools became invaluable anchors, helping me regain a sense of control over my life and emotions. I no longer felt overwhelmed by the trauma; instead, I developed a growing sense of resilience.”

    Sarah

  • “Kate has been an absolute godsend in my life, just when I needed it. She has been extremely patient and caring about all my past traumas that I desperately needed to release. Kate always gave me space to talk, and helped me access my own wisdom about the feelings and memories I was expressing. She has really taken the time to remember all that I have said from session to session, so she can help piece together the jigsaw of my experiences, to give edifying and uplifting feedback. Thank you Kate for allowing me to see the nastiness I’ve gone through and the lack of kindness I’ve given to myself. You’ve made me feel human and loveable again.”
