I have just completed a six week programme with Kate at Thrive.

It took me a long time to find a coach I could relate to and who I felt would be a good fit and I’m so glad I waited until I found the right one !

Kate has had a profound impact on me over the last few months and I can’t recommend her highly enough . She has held a mirror up and helped me to reflect upon my life to enable me to see things differently. I have felt empowered to make changes which I never had the confidence to consider previously and Kate has been approachable and understanding, whilst gently challenging me to stretch out of my comfort zone.

Thank you so much Kate !

I have just completed the Thrive in Perimenopause Programme with Kate and do not really have the words to fully convey the impact it has had on me. I came to Kate feeling completely lost and stagnant. As a mum of two, wife, teacher I had hit perimenopause a few years ago and felt like I was simply being dragged through life. There was no joy in my life. Then came along Kate! The sessions with Kate changed all of that. Kate is the loveliest person to speak to and makes you feel so comfortable you find yourself happy to talk about anything, even the hard stuff. Even though we worked online together, Kate made me feel like we were in the same room with her calm, caring approach. Kate taught me it is ok not to compromise yourself, that perimenopause isn’t the end it is the beginning if you want it to be. Kate has helped me remember dreams from the past and reminded me that I am strong enough to take risks. I am now in a place where the future holds so much hope, I am utilising the sessions with Kate to plan for my next move career wise. I feel like a different person with a renewed energy and focus.

I cannot recommend Kate highly enough. If you want to really invest in yourself, do so! You will not regret it. Thank you so much Kate x

A friend recommended working with Kate, as I had lost so much confidence within and was struggling to find any kind of motivation to do anything for myself. I felt I needed a purpose; my child had gone to university and although happy in my career, I felt a bit stale. These were two things that I had poured my energy into for years and suddenly everything seemed to have moved on and I needed a new direction too, but I didn't know which way.

As soon as I met Kate, I knew I had made the right decision. She is so warm, understanding and non-judgmental, so talking about your barriers and why you feel the way you do is actually quite cathartic and I felt she she guided me to explore my interests and helped develop my confidence in a way I never thought was possible.  She developed a 6 week programme for me, where she structured sessions that identified my focus more with my career and has given me a new level of energy to pursue a promotion. I have also found the confidence to join a women's running group, something I used to love doing but never gave myself the time to do. I'm excited about the future and Kate's professional and empathetic guidance has helped me feel like 'me' again.

Kate is the most amazing life coach. She is professional, empathetic and caring, as well as being an amazing listener. I loved her realign in perimenopause method. Kate’s advice and kind ear has been a huge help to me, and I am always at ease in her company.

If you want long lasting change in your life, I would highly recommend to anyone. I can’t believe the woman I have become is the woman I have always dreamed of being!

Thank you for being so fabulous xx

Prior to joining Kate for the 90 day ‘Thrive in Perimenopause Method,’ it is fair to say I was a little apprehensive as to what this journey would look like. I can hand on heart say that investing in myself, and having Kate right by my side was the best investment I have made. Kate made it easy for me to trust the process and I discovered that although opening up to someone can make you feel vulnerable, having a woman to work with who is compassionate, honest and experienced, allows you to take several steps forward in life. I don’t recognise who I was 12 weeks ago, I was lost and unsure what direction I was moving in. I was not appreciating and valuing who I was and what I have achieved. Kate made me accountable for the next steps in my chapter and gave me strategies and guidance as to how to maximise my potential in a professional capacity but more importantly for me, in a personal capacity too. Kate made me consider my intentions and motives which in turn helped me navigate onto my chosen path with confidence, the path I now own. The support I’ve had has had a profound impact on me and I’ll always be forever grateful for all Kate has done. I would whole-heartedly recommend working with Kate. Thank you X

When I spoke to Kate in my telephone consultation, I immediately felt relaxed. She could answer any of my questions (and I had many)! I wasn’t sure what life coaching was but a friend had recommended Kate to me and I had got to the point where I needed something to help me. I’d tried a few things before but nothing had worked.

Kate’s calm and thoughtful approach really helped me. I was dealing with grief and hadn’t realised how much it had impacted on my self confidence. I’d lost my identity and didn’t really feel like there was much to look forward to. Kate exudes calmness and kindness but she also made me accountable to myself and helped me break bad habits that I thought were soothing me but in actual fact were having the opposite effect. I was in a bad place when I started working with her but I was literally amazed at the speed with which I began to feel hope again.

Kate has given me motivation in my life and boosted my self-esteem. She has taught me how to live alongside grief and I am forever grateful.

Kate was recommended to me by a friend at a time that I was in a big, cloudy muddle and I would say depression.

At 39 years old and mum to 2 children, I had been struggling to find direction and fulfilment in my life. I had lost my passion and drive for the work I was doing and felt dried up and empty, totally overwhelmed with the day to day doings.

Over the 6 weeks that I worked with Kate she has helped me to find clarity and direction and absolutely lifted my spirits, shining a light onto things within myself that I hadn’t really considered before. She has helped me to feel brave enough to accept an ending and changed my focus to creating a future that is more aligned with my values.

If you need direction and to reconnect with parts of yourself that you have forgotten, I wholeheartedly recommend Kate to help you uncover and steer you in the right direction. ❤️

"I didn't know I needed a life coach until I had one, sounds silly but it's true. I always thought it was a concept reserved for 'other people', but having spent six weeks with Kate, I can see how nourishing and enlightening it would be for any midlife women.

We seek professionals in so many other main stream areas of our lives, but now it seems so blindingly obvious, that asking for help in making the most out of our everyday life, is one of the most beneficial things we can do.

Kate has inspired my thought processes, made me question my core values, given me practical tools to enhance everyday living and given me the space to sieve through shadows and polish them into sunlight.

Thank you Kate, the world needs you!"
