About Katherine
The fundamentals:
​
I practice what I preach; I’ll never bullshit you; I’ll always be on your side.
​
I've supported clients through grief, body image struggles, addictions, sexless relationships, self-loathing, numbness, being distracted, (co)parenting challenges, navigating relationships at work, rebuilding after trauma...
I’ve lived through many of these things myself.
​
​This work isn’t just what I do – it’s who I am.

About me
• I have traveled the world, alone, where I worked on a cattle ranch in the Outback of Australia, climbed active volcanoes, hitchhiked in Argentina and worked in a travel agency in Bolivia using broken Spanish.
• I believe that our bodies tell us everything we need to know about our wellbeing (mentally and physically).
• I pride myself in being the best mother I can to my two beautiful daughters having read books and research on every developmental stage. Strangers often comment on what wonderful children they are; friends often ask parenting advice.
• I own my decision to become a single mum and have always made a conscious effort to build a strong relationship with my ex-partner.
• I’m a morning person, getting up at 5:30am Monday to Friday to do a workout before the kids wake up.
• I worked for South Wales Police in the Domestic Abuse Unit. I love people, I loved learning about criminals’ back stories and I felt drawn to help others
• I went through a phase of sexual exploration engaging in less mainstream pursuits; I wish people spoke more openly about sex.
• I worked hard to learn how to love myself using positive affirmations and body acceptance techniques. • I have a degree in Social Sciences (BSc) and a Masters (MSc) in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Cardiff University. • I think the use of magic mushrooms for health and growth in certain circumstances is underrated. • I’m a property developer’s daughter who made a loss when selling my first flat. • I learned more about myself in a year without alcohol than a decade with it. • I was raped in my twenties, resulting in half a year’s counselling. • I’m a recovered 'yes-person' who now treasures boundaries. • I’m an advocate for always walking up and down escalators. • I am a strong proponent for positive affirmations. • I love proofreading other people’s documents. • I’m a qualified senior leader in education. • I am very open-minded and 'Aquarius'. • I beat depression with exercise. • I struggle to keep plants alive. • I love dancing in my kitchen. • I can do a 6 minute plank. • I have a life coach myself. • I am a social chameleon. • I am apolitical.
