For neurodivergent and busy brains

You know what you want, so why is it so hard to do it?

Understand your brain and create you-shaped ways to make things happen.

This isn’t a discipline problem

When knowing isn’t enough

You can know what you need to do and still struggle to do it.

You spend so long deciding where to start that you run out of time. An interruption breaks your flow and you struggle to pick it up again. Or you make a plan, miss a day, and find yourself abandoning the whole thing.

Then there’s the second-guessing. Why can’t I just do it? Why do I keep making plans I don’t stick to?

Executive functions help us plan, start, prioritise, focus and manage emotions. These can be harder to draw on when your head is full, demands pile up or you’re under pressure.

We explore what’s making things difficult.
From keeping track of your next step, to the fear of getting it wrong, or the feeling that you should be able to manage without help.
Then we work on both the practical changes and how you think and feel about doing things differently.

    There isn’t one right way

    Finding what works for your brain

    My approach brings together executive function coaching and hypnotherapy.

    We find practical ways to make decisions, get started and keep things moving. We also work with the self-doubt, fear of getting it wrong, and self-criticism that can make those things harder.

    You try things in real life, notice what helps and adapt what doesn’t. Along the way, you build a clearer understanding of what works for you, and more confidence in choosing your own way of doing things.

    Hi, I’m Kate

    Executive Function Coach & Clinical Hypnotherapist

    I help neurodivergent and busy-brained people understand what makes things difficult, work through self-doubt and find ways to make things happen.

    My own path has been non-linear: from engineering and trying to fit the expected mould, to questioning how I wanted to live and work.

    That experience shapes what I do. I’m interested in what matters to you, what gets in the way, and how we can make it more manageable, without asking you to become someone else.

    Kind Words

    "I got so much out of every session with Kate. Working through some really in depth aspects of my life, my past and my future, I feel like a new woman. My confidence has increased and I feel my clients are seeing this in my work. I view success as such a positive thing now, whereas previously it scared me. I can often hear Kate’s voice in my head. She has become my self check when I have a wobble. Absolute game changer for me."

    "Kate has been amazing at helping me focus and see what’s important; helping me to get control of my overwhelm and take actionable steps to achieve my goals."

    Jane

    "I have tackled demons in my work, home life and finances so improvements have been made. You have been a huge help, inspiration to make the little changes and really made me look at life differently. Forgive myself from all the guilt and realise my happiness is important."
