MIDLIFE MENTORING

Do you feel stuck in your life?

Do you feel soul-dead in your career?

Do you feel like you're trapped or in hiding?

I've been there. Transformation is possible.

If you are ready to come out of hiding, to shine and to be seen, I would love to help. If you are ready to reconnect with your long-held but long-neglected passions, I would love to support you as you journey back to your authentic self. And if you are ready to break free and design your own life, I would love to walk alongside you.

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

I work with women and men of all professions who are desperate 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. I work with accountants who long to paint; with journalists who yearn to be poets; and bankers who want to break free.

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 so long and to trust that we can make our way in the world in a different way. That's why we need support, an accomplice, a cheerleader, a coach.

I offer one-to-one coaching and mentoring to women and men who are ready to change their lives. I have 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 12-month packages, as well as one-to-one beach brainstorming days - an entire day or half-day of coaching near my home in Dorset, including energising beach walks to help you to connect to your intuition and to recover your true self.

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
* Feel in love with yourself and your life
* Identify steps that will move you closer to your dream life
* Face your fears and take leaps of faith

I am passionate about midlife mentoring because I have been through my own "midlife crisis" and deep transformation, for which I am now incredibly grateful.

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 48 and I recently got married. I live by the sea, walk on the beach and feel more balanced. I work less and I work at something I feel incredibly passionate about - helping other busy women and men achieve their heart's desires and create a life of their dreams - so much of the time it doesn't feel like work. I have written and published my first book and am writing more - a novel and poetry.

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

Working with Katherine feels like you have someone on your side. Her style is distinct and I can’t recommend her enough, either for a one-to-one session or to speak to a larger group" - Hayley
