About me
Hello!
I’m Kate
MPHYS (HONS), HPD, DAHC, DPHH, MNCH (REG.)
Coach & Hypnotherapist
Calm Creator
Brain Untangler

Unlock Your Brilliance – Your Way
I help overwhelmed, busy-brained women move from overwhelm to ease using powerful mindset tools, executive function strategies, and advanced hypnotherapy. I also support young people through 1:1 sessions and my Brilliant Brains Lab membership, helping them manage anxiety and build emotional resilience in ways that actually work for their brains.
I’ve always been fascinated by how people think, learn, and navigate the world. But I also know what it’s like to feel stuck – trapped by expectation, overwhelmed by all the things, and frustrated by strategies that just don’t stick.
Before stepping into this work, I spent years as an engineer leading teams and solving complex technical problems. While the tech was fun, I absolutely loved helping people grow – whether that meant developing their skills, achieving personal goals, or creating supportive spaces.
Despite ticking all the boxes and moulding myself into the person they wanted me to be, I was left burned out and feeling like a failure. That experience led me here – helping others to untangle the overwhelm, uncover their brilliance, and find their own calm, clear way forward.
What I Do Now
My approach blend science, strategy, and subconscious transformation.
Whether you’re juggling the mental load, emotional overwhelm, or the pressure to keep it all together, I’m here to help you with tools that actually work.
Using a mix of:
- Executive function coaching
- Advanced hypnotherpy
- Mindset coaching
I help you to:
- Untangle the mental chaos and calm your nervous system
- Build flexible strategies that fit your brain
- Release the deep-rooted beliefs keeping you stuck
- Take aligned, confident action (without the self-sabotage)
We don’t just talk about what’s holding you back – we shift it.
No cookie-cutter solutions. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just a deeply personalised approach to help you thrive.
Why Work With Me?
I’ve spent my life solving problems – first in engineering, now with the human mind. My approach is both deeply practical and transformational.
- Problem-solving is my magic. Together, we’ll break things down, find the root cause, and design strategies that work for your brain.
- I go beyond surface-level fixes. We’ll shift the deeper patterns and subconscious blocks that keep you stuck.
- I create a judgement-free space. You don’t have to fit into anyone’s mould here – you get to show up exactly as you are.
You don’t need fixing. You just need support that honours your brain, your values, and your way of working.
