Coaching helps you overcome challenges or achieve your goals so is tailored to you and what you would like to explore. I specialise in coaching people in publishing and adjacent creative industries focusing on areas including career progression or career changes, business development, productivity, overcoming burnout and improved wellbeing.
A coach acts as a thinking partner through meaningful conversations, holding space and facilitating growth. You’ll see the impact and benefits in helping you to be the best version of yourself so that you move forward feeling happier, confident and ultimately more fulfilled.
As coaching is so personal, I’m always happy to have an introductory call to find out more about your needs and tailor packages to best suit your circumstances.
What do I bring as a coach?
After a decade in the publishing industry, I was suffering from burnout and missing the spark I once had for my job, finding myself at a crossroads in my career because I was no longer happy. Coaching helped me unlock my potential and make changes I never would have otherwise had the confidence to make – from leaving my job, to launching a new business and having the best work-life balance I’ve ever had. Now I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
I’ve been coached myself so I know what it’s like to place your trust in someone. A friend mentioned coaching to me and it’s no exaggeration to say it was a truly transformative experience. With the support of a coach, I reflected on my strengths and values, asked myself what I really wanted and had space to make decisions which led me to leaving a job that was not only no longer making me happy but beginning to impact my wellbeing. I know the power of great coaching.
During my career working in corporate environments I either experienced first-hand or witnessed issues that are sadly all too common in publishing and adjacent creative industries like unmanageable workloads, stress and burnout, toxic workplaces and bullying, and restructuring and redundancies. It can be an isolating experience and difficult to voice when you’re not quite sure what’s wrong but having been there myself, I can definitely empathise with what you might be going through. Perhaps you’re stuck in your career and need help figuring out your next step or what your passion is – whatever your circumstances, I can help.
In spring 2025, I attained an associate coaching diploma with Optimus Coach Academy, which is one of the world’s leading coach training providers. As a qualified coach, you have the peace of mind that my coaching sessions uphold the ethics and values of the global gold standard of professional coaching as set by the International Coaching Federation.
Enough about my story. If you need someone to listen to yours then I’m here, and would love to be able to help you, whatever brings you to coaching.
“My sessions with Katie were invaluable. They enabled me to rebuild my confidence, move forward on my various projects and be honest with myself regarding my working methodology and motivation. I was a sceptic to begin with, but life coaching really can change your life (excuse the cliché). With Katie's guidance, I changed my perception about how I undertake tasks, I faced my fear of never completing anything and I was able to find answers which suited my particular style of working. Katie really does make you feel capable of accomplishing even the most difficult tasks and I really recommend her services.”
