What Previous Clients Say
"...thank you again for your kind offer, for helping me rediscover my enthusiasm, and for everything else you've done for me this last week! I really feel like I'm on a roll now and it's great!" K.McL
“…what is inspiring about Kate’s approach is that she never claims to be perfect herself, but stresses that life is a journey we are all on. She doesn’t come up with all the answers either – she helps you work them out for yourself…… Kate is always prepared to challenge your preconceptions, and to push you a little further in the direction of your goals. She makes it clear that she is on your side whatever your decision – but she does encourage you to make the decision.
…The other refreshing thing about Kate’s approach is that she is open from the start about her costs and what she will do for clients. In the same way she is clear about what she expects YOU to do – which is quite right as changing your life does require action. Her costs are very reasonable and flexible – it should not be beyond anyone’s means who needs her services to use them. She is also great at follow up via email contact, so that you know if there is something you really need to ask about she will always respond.
…I have been able to give myself time to think about and focus on what I would like to achieve in the rest of my life, and I have been given support and encouragement from Kate in all of this.” Mary Brown Lecturer, Robert Gordon University
“I was running a race, the finishing line was in sight, but it was the last lap and my strength was ebbing. Like a racing car, I needed a pit stop where I could receive help to re-fuel and a maintenance check. Kate provided just that – by sensitive empathic listening, respectful questions, goal-setting, by caring, and sharing. With her, by my side, cheering me on, I finished the race.” H. M.
"I found Kate to be helpful, patient and understanding whilst at the same time quite firm, pushing me gently forward. She made me see that it was important to make a decision and go for it and that procrastination was not the answer as time would just fritter away. I had to take control.
I have reached a new sense of awareness; I am listening to what people have to say and through this have become more much confident and I am finding life more interesting, just by listening. Before I go to sleep at night I ask myself 'what am I going to do tomorrow?' and I find myself looking forward to the next day. I am now feeling much better, more positive, and, with Kate's encouragement, I have kept going - it works.'' E. D. Social Historian
"Last year I made some important decisions in my life and made some major changes that have already had a positive effect on my self-esteem and confidence, and given me an increased sense of purpose in life. Whilst I may have made the same decisions alone, with Kate's kindness, patience, understanding and helpfulness, I may never have organised myself, and had confidence enough to achieve this outcome. At a time when I needed to organise my thoughts and think clearly, Kate listened, and asked all the right questions for me to find answers for myself. I really value Kate's friendship and will continue to keep in touch!
"Life need not be as complicated and chaotic as I once thought: with a little planning I now organise the important areas of my life, and discard the rest. However, it required an independent person to lead the way for a while and encourage me to prioritise the areas I need. I now feel more confident to go out and lead my life the way I would like to, and not the way others think I ought to. I am forever grateful." C. S.
