Coaching

My approach is -

• appreciative - valuing and building client's unique strengths as a platform for growth and change
• holistic - building and applying awareness of the bigger picture, and supporting clients in accessing and developing more of who they are
• person-centred - working with the client's agenda for the coaching

Supporting -

• personal as well as business or organisational objectives 

• development of authentic leadership and presence 

• spiritual and emotional intelligence

Feedback from coaching client:

‘When I sensed a downturn in work at the firm I worked for as a lawyer, I approached Katherine to see whether she could help me to see and use this as an opportunity to make changes to my life, and to help me to identify and focus on the areas I really wanted to change.

I then lost my job very suddenly, and so had to deal with issues arising out of change imposed upon me. Katherine helped me enormously in dealing with the shorter term, by helping me identify things that were important to me and that I could work on to get me to a better place to think about the long term, and then with the longer term.

Her approach is professional, yet always friendly and approachable, and practical. For each session she will ask if there are issues that I would like to address, but will suggest possibilities if I am floundering. Towards the end of a session, she will ask how I have found it, whether there are different approaches which I might find more useful, and the main things I have taken from a session - this is very useful to me. I am very impressed with the preparation/reflection I know that she does before and after each session.

I have found the coaching process invaluable - it is helping me to get through a critical period of change and to think positively, in practical terms, about the long term.’  BR, lawyer turned professional artist.
