MIDLIFE MENTORING

YOUR LIFE ON YOUR TERMS

Do you feel stuck in your life, soul-dead in your career or completely worn out? Do you feel like you're trapped or in hiding, like you're wasting your true gifts and talents? Do you feel aimless and rudderless, like you've missed your life purpose? Are you unsure of where to go or what to do next?

I know how this feels. I've been there. I also know, from my own experience and from working with people like you, that transformation is possible.

If you are ready to come out of hiding, to shine and be seen and to use your true gifts and talents, I would love to help. If you are ready to reconnect with long-held but long-neglected passions, I would love to support you. And if you are ready to break free and design your own life, it would be a privilege to walk alongside you.

RECLAIM YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF

​I get goosebumps when I witness my clients reclaiming their authentic selves - excavating their true nature from beneath the heavy weights they and others have piled on top of them, throwing off the mantle of a career they no longer love or a life or relationship that no longer fits, dusting off the playful, creative spirit that's been quashed and squeezed into a box for too many years.

​I work with people from all professions and walks of life who want to break free from the grind, reconnect to their playful and creative spirit, pursue their passions and dreams and live life on their own terms - accountants who long to paint, journalists who yearn to be poets, bankers who want to spend more time outdoors and anyone who is ready to shake up their life and career in the best possible way.

For most of us, desire, longing or even desperation to change will only get us so far. I know from my own experience that it takes huge courage to come out of hiding, to let go of an identity we have clung to for too long, to relinquish the security of a regular paycheck and to trust that we can flourish in the world in a different way to what we have always known. It also takes the right kind of support. I am here to offer you this support, as someone who has been there, done it and supported many others to break free.

COACHING THAT BRINGS TRANSFORMATION

Through my coaching and midlife mentoring, I will help you to:

* Excavate and reclaim your true self
* Reconnect with your passions and the activities that make you feel alive
* Rediscover the playfulness and creativity that you enjoyed as a child
* Fall in love with yourself and your life

ABOUT MY TRANSFORMATION

I used to have a dream life on the outside - an incredible job as a political reporter for the news agency Reuters, a beautiful London flat, lots of friends, a hectic social life, regular holidays and all the freedom and independence I'd ever wanted. But the reality on the inside was very different. My job excited me for years but by my mid-30s, I felt soul dead, stressed and over-worked. I was also single and didn't have any children. I was approaching 40. How on earth had I ended up here? I broke down, burnt out and got signed off work.

Slowly, I began to rebuild. I began to identify the things that made my heart sing. I began to shift my priorities. I began to have different dreams. I wanted to live by the sea, walk on the beach, work less, feel more balanced and fall in love. I am now married and living by the beach. I have a gorgeous cocker spaniel called Layla and I swim in the sea throughout the year. I am working on a novel as well as another personal development book and a collection of poetry. I play more, work less and feel far more fulfilled. I work at something I feel incredibly passionate about - helping others achieve their heart's desires and create a life of their dreams.

When I first met with Katherine a year ago I was in such a different place. I'd recently left my job in an attempt to create a life that I loved, and was feeling frightened, confused about my decision and the way ahead, and a bit like I was stuck in a cage. Katherine helped me build my confidence, and gave me really helpful practical advice on next steps and held my hand all the way. I now feel confident about my choices and feel like I'm properly on the path to creating a life that is more fulfilling and happier than I've ever experienced before. I feel free! Thank you, Katherine" - Alex

"I chose to work with Katherine as my coach for a number of reasons - in particular the combination of her professional credibility and experience with her personal integrity and honesty. She coached me through a period of change, where I'd taken a big leap into a new job and wasn't sure how to navigate both the professional and personal challenges that came with that change. It's difficult to express how great a help and support she was to me during this challenging period. Katherine can help on so many levels and has the right combination of emotional and intellectual intelligence to coach and support in a way that taps into what you really need, whether it's a personal or professional issue or both. I think my coaching with Katherine is one of the best investments in myself that I have ever made and I highly recommend her services" - Kathryn, 42

Katherine is a natural coach. Her approach was perfect, providing the structure and safe space to delve into big ideas. Her feedback was insightful, and I came away with a whole new way of looking at where I want to be in life and how to actually get there" - Tim Large, former director of Journalism & Media Programmes, Thomson Reuters Foundation

What’s changed for me since I started working with you? Well, everything actually. I’ve had such a journey over the couple of years that I’ve been working with you. It has been truly transformational for me as an individual. I’ve gone from working overseas, working excessive hours all the time and just being completely dedicated to my work to moving back to Edinburgh to start my new life here and the work I’ve done with you has absolutely supported and helped me to go through that huge journey. So yes, it’s been amazing" - Joyce
