Coaching on Dating & Relationships
I found love in my 40s after a series of wrong turns, decades of dysfunctional relationships and a long history of self-sabotage. I am passionate about helping you find love and form a long-lasting, committed, healthy and fulfilling partnership.
I've been there. I've been single in my late 30s or 40s, working hard in a successful career but returning home to the silence of a one-bedroom flat and to a feeling of emptiness inside. I've asked these questions: How on earth did I end up here, with a fabulous career and plenty of friends but living alone with no partner and no children? Why have none of my relationships worked out? Why am I always attracted to unavailable men, to commitment phobes or to guys who can't meet my needs? How am I going to meet a guy, fall in love and make a relationship work in time to have my own family? Where have all the single, eligible men gone? Where am I going wrong? And I've found my own answers. I've found them through a long and sometimes painful journey of personal development and self-discovery, through some ten years of personal therapy, through 13 years of recovery from addictive behaviours and dysfunctional relationship patterns, through studying a diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills at London's Westminster Pastoral Association and through working with and learning from others. I am now in a healthy and loving relationship and living with my beautiful partner by the seaside, writing and coaching others to have healthy relationships with themselves and to find love and a long-lasting partnership. |

Testimonials
“I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Katherine to help and guide you through the emotional roller coaster of dating and relationships. In the past, I tended to swing between not voicing my needs within a relationship, causing me to harbour resentments, to behaving in a way that the other would feel controlled. However, with Katherine’s support and encouragement, I am able to find a healthy balance of communicating my needs within a relationship and accepting my partners limitations. Talking of which, she has supported me with the massive realisation that men are human too! Through the acceptance of myself and my own flaws, I am now able to love and accept a man for who he is, warts and all!

Katherine has helped me to see the blocks I have had to intimacy/relationships and helped me to understand when it is my intuition or my fear that is telling me to run a mile. She has also helped me to understand my relationship triggers and work out if my reactions are rooted in the past or are about the here and now, encouraging me to take the time to process big feelings and act from a place of authenticity. Katherine’s approach is a delightful mix of wisdom, gentleness, honesty, authenticity and humour. If you want to find real authentic love, Katherine is the one to help you on that journey of discovery” – Catherine, 44, artist.

"Katherine is great at listening to my jumbled up thoughts and being able to pick up on the one or two key problems which are really at the heart of the matter. When I talk to her about my partner and struggles we are facing, she is calm and considered, and conversation with her always brings me a sense of clarity.
When I feel hopeless about what to do next in my relationship, she shifts my focus onto the things I have the power to change. She encourages me to pursue the life I want and recognise my true value" - Claire, 33, journalist

“I met Katherine at The Inspire’d Stage in London, where she delivered a talk – a talk that was refreshingly real and from the soul. In a world where hiding our feelings and looking for quick fixes on the outside seems to be the advice du jour, Katherine is a breath of fresh air. She is a relationship coach with a difference. Unafraid to show her vulnerability, she encourages women and men to open up, look inside and dig deep. If you are single and in your late 30s, early 40s or beyond seek out Katherine. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that she shares in a fun, transformative and authentic way” – Lidija Markovic Rosati, International NLP Trainer and Master Coach and creator of Momentum Coaching Method, London, UK.
