About Kate

My Approach

I work with people who know they’re capable, but are frustrated by their own inconsistency – especially when life gets noisy and the mental load tips over.

My approach works at one level. I work at two.

We build practical strategies and structure that fit how your brain works. And we shift the deeper patterns – the stories and subconscious beliefs that keep pulling you back into avoidance, overthinking or stop-start cycles.

This is where insight turns into behaviour change that actually sticks.

My Story

I’ve always been fascinated by how people think, learn, and navigate the world. Before this, I was an engineer leading teams – and while I enjoyed the technical challenge, what I loved most was creating spaces where people could think clearly, feel supported, navigate challenges and find confidence to act on their ideas.

But after years of ticking all the boxes and moulding myself into the person they wanted me to be, the message was clear: to succeed, I needed to show up differently. Less like me, more like the template. I tried to fit it, but eventually there was nothing left to give. I was a part-time working mum in a culture that didn’t have much space for that – and eventually I left, without anything lined up, just knowing I couldn’t stay.

That experience sent me on a path I didn’t expect. Training first as a coach, then as a hypnotherapist, then specialising in executive function. Each step made more sense than the last – because underneath it all was the same thing: helping people stop being shaped by systems that don’t fit them, and find a way of working that actually does.

How We Work Together

Everything starts with understanding how your executive functions operate; how you plan, prioritise, focus, regulate emotions, and see things through.

From there, we build in practical strategies and structure that fits your brain. Where needed, we layer in deeper subconscious pattern work so change becomes embedded rather than another thing you have to force.

Together we work across three levels:

• Executive function coaching to design practical, brain-friendly systems
• Clinical hypnotherapy to shift subconscious patterns and beliefs
• Nervous system regulation to support focus, calm, and resilience

Who I work with

You’re capable. You know it, even when the evidence feels a bit thin on the ground.  

You think deeply, care about what you do, and hold yourself to a high standard. But somewhere between the idea and the doing, things stall. The mental load tips over, the motivation disappears, and you end up wondering why you can’t just get out of your own way.

But you’re not in your own way. Most advice just wasn’t designed for a brain like yours.

If any of this sounds familiar:

• Stop-start cycles that never seem to break
• Everything feels urgent so nothing gets prioritised
• Mental overload that makes follow-through feel impossible
• Relying on pressure and deadlines to get anything done
• Productivity hacks that work for a week, then don’t
• Knowing you’re capable of more, but not finding a way of working that fits

You’re in the right place.

These patterns make sense once you understand how your brain works, and they can change with the right structure and support.

I also work with young people through my sister brand, Brilliant Brains Lab, offering brain-friendly support for calm, confidence, and focus.
