About Cathryn

Coaching Approach

As a coach, I have a particular interest in supporting individuals through leadership transitions and the process of navigating both professional and personal change. My coaching practice is holistic, drawing on the principles of Integral coaching, and I bring a unique skillset tailored to leaders within the health sector, as well as clients working in the vocational and caring professions.

Professional Experience and Research Interest

For over a decade, I have been actively engaged in coaching and mentoring, developing these skills alongside my national leadership roles in medicine. This experience has significantly shaped my current research interests, particularly in the area of clinician resilience and the support of professionals in caring roles, including spiritual leaders and counsellors.

Coaching Focus Areas

• Leadership and Executive Coaching for Healthcare Professionals: I offer leadership and executive coaching with a specific emphasis on transition coaching and expanding leadership opportunities for women in the sector.
• Personal Development Coaching: I support clients in working towards improved well-being and resilience in the workplace, especially those in vocational professions.
• Health Coaching: I provide coaching for individuals facing significant health challenges, including those adjusting to life-impacting conditions or seeking to address professional burnout.

Coaching Philosophy

I feel fortunate to have been coached by some remarkable individuals who have greatly contributed to my own leadership development. My coaching style is inquisitive, empathetic, and always includes the right level of challenge to foster growth and insight.

If you are considering re-evaluating your leadership skills, exploring your career path, or pursuing personal development – and you are working in the health sector, academia, or a role focused on vocational support for others – please feel free to get in touch. There is no cost or obligation for an initial exploratory discussion.

Clients

My current clients are individuals drawn from a variety of backgrounds including leadership coaching and training; third sector executives; nursing and medical clinicians from NHS England and NHS Wales: doctors and other health professionals from both primary and secondary care; academics and those working in education leadership, chaplaincy and the priesthood.

What People Are Saying

Individual confidentiality is very important to me as a coach, but clients have been kind enough to give their permission to share their individual feedback, which you can read on my homepage.
