“The coaching with Cathryn has been uplifting, enjoyable, insightful, supportive, challenging and positive.”

“If you are unsure on coaching, I would suggest one session with Cathryn and you will be sold on the process. Cathryn is able to make complex theories and difficult emotions appear easy and a lot less challenging. I felt guided and supported throughout.

The development I have seen professionally including the ability to confidently reflect, interpret and process situations has come about as a result of my sessions with Cathryn.

Cathryn was able to support a coaching process relevant to me in many aspects of my life both professional and personal.”

“In an NHS that can be draining and hard to work in, the opportunity to spend a few hours with Cathryn, thinking, reflecting, planning and testing strategies has encouraged me to see myself, the team and my work in new, exciting and adventurous ways.”

“Cathryn helped me highlight and remove some blind spots that had been affecting my perspective on my passions and career choices and helped me settle more naturally into my leadership vocation.

What was really helpful working with Cathryn was the way she reflected back to me the things I said. It helped me highlight inconsistencies and distil my thoughts which helped me better understand myself and articulate the kind of future I desire.”

“Cathryn’s ability to listen, question and encourage deeper appreciation of the bonds between the past, present and future started my coaching journey in an unexpectedly emotional and surprising way. 

I identified patterns I had not considered before. And, while some of the revelations were stark, Cathryn provided the support to engender a safe environment to explore them.”

“Cathryn helped me recognise my own strengths and areas for growth. She encouraged me to embrace my capabilities and view challenges as opportunities for learning rather than obstacles. This shift in perspective has been transformative, enabling me to approach my work with greater confidence and clarity.”

“Cathryn has a way of making it easy to open up and her insightful feedback bears witness to the acuity and attentiveness with which she listens. 

Her observations have been enormously enlightening and led to a deeper understanding of emotional processes which have been difficult to navigate on my own as I embark on some major life changes. 

I feel truly helped and better equipped to move forward in my life with a new confidence and optimism in my own strength and ability to fulfil myself and realise my potential.”

On coaching
“Coaching with you was all, and more, that I had expected.

Your non-judgemental style of engagement, your recall and ability to feedback on what was discussed allowed me to make significant change… how to deploy exploration of a topic… to give myself time to think and respond from a place of truth rather than people pleasing… to resist making assumptions too quickly and to recognise the importance of practising self-compassion.”

On the retreat
“I felt it was extremely productive coming down to stay in Devon on a Coaching Retreat… and felt the sequence of two sessions on one day and two the next was very beneficial for me, providing a depth and intensity to the work we did.”

“Cathryn is non-judgemental and seems very interested in encouraging me to find my own approach…. She is very quick to pick up on cues and read my emotional responses to our conversation.”

“Cathryn very skilfully managed to help me realise what aspects of myself were important to me and helped me to think more about my core beliefs especially when I make decisions. The questions she posed really allowed me to explore this.

I had lost a sense of myself throughout the years, and I felt the coaching programme was a unique opportunity to focus on myself… I feel less afraid to take on new challenges or talk to new people… I do not think I would have allowed myself to do this if I had not started this coaching programme.”

“Cathryn helped me look for the big picture in my own work and relationships with colleagues… she helped me celebrate the wins and prioritise my own development…

There is a central theme in Cathryn’s work about clarity; crucially, I think she helps you strip back to what your core values are… she helped me move from a place of ‘what can an organisation offer to help me’, to a place where I asked ‘what can I offer to help my organisation’.”

“Why I enjoy working with Cathryn:

Cathryn is professional, intellectually challenging, brings perspective to coaching sessions and ultimately helps me focus on positive change.

I highly recommend working with Cathryn if you are looking to recalibrate your life. She is an excellent choice as a change catalyst.”
