I help train your mind so that you can become the most dynamic and radiant version of yourself.
Having trained extensively in a number of techniques, I support with clients who feel stagnant, unable to change their behavioural habits - tackle their challenges and move towards their goals. I integrate various methods to create individualised programmes, unique to each client's stage of growth, assessing where they are and importantly where they want to be, so that every journey creates a significant and lasting transformation.
I believe that when you stop settling for less, release everything that is holding you back and embrace change, you will achieve a life full of meaning, purpose & freedom - and that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do. My mission is to empower you to utilise your full potential, so that you experience success and genuinely feel nothing is beyond your reach.

We all have a journey
Here's mine.
Becoming a Life & Career Coach was my chosen path, not one that I fell into. I am a woman who decided to go for it. It really is as simple as that.
Since as long as I can remember I have had an overwhelming passion to truly motivate and empower people to reach their full potential, goals & desires. Unknowingly, I had been doing this throughout my finance & banking career and also in my personal relationships - I've always valued building strong connections with people above all else. As a high achiever, constantly striving for the best, giving 110% to everything - I was constantly finding myself thinking 'what next' and 'what else can I do & achieve?'
Having spent almost a decade in corporate finance, I've experienced first-hand the challenges that come with climbing corporate ladders, succeeding in fast-paced & pressured environments, as well the trials and tribulations of balancing life, work and also wellbeing. As I mentored more and more individuals who had approached me for guidance and advice, it became evident that I had to set up my coaching business.
Years of investment into personal development enabled me to take control over my mindset and ditch the people pleasing, perfectionism and hustle & overworking - I now embody the woman my younger self would be proud of. It's important for me to share my story with you because I've been where you are now & walked in your shoes. I am here to show you what is possible when you choose to invest in yourself. Not only have I transformed my own life - in a way that is sustainable & delivers consistent results - I’ve tapped into my natural gifts of helping people transform their minds and lives. I truly believe my path has shaped me into the most compassionate and impactful coach I can be.
Today, I grab life with both hands and really believe that anything is possible when we truly train our mind. It's my personal mission to help you up-level your life, realise how capable and deserving you are, embrace your potential; and build a mindset that will take you places - so that YOU too can achieve your goals both personally and professionally.

I am the Founder of Women in Business Society and am a strong advocate for female entrepreneurs and Inclusion & Diversity, having organised and presented several impactful events on these important topics (check out my Membership page to find more details on this). In my banking career, I Co-Chair the EMEA Gender Balance Committee, focused on driving and gender equality through focused, tangible action-points at all levels throughout the organisation, to ensure I&D is a business imperative. I represent the business by engaging with multiple decision-makers and key stakeholders internally, aimed at step changing the culture towards one of more equality.

As important as formal qualifications are, my most extensive training has actually been my life experience, which has been key to my success. I have a unique blend of significant experience in the corporate world and substantial knowledge and training in emotional intelligence, health & relationships. These have all, equally, taught me so many life lessons, which I am inspired to pass onto you and encourage you to use to your advantage. I believe we are all our own best coach, but sometimes we need unwavering belief and support from someone else to set us on the right track. That is exactly what I am here to do, to ensure you embody long-lasting transformation.
I look forward to providing you with insight and inspiration and guiding you into this truly amazing and transformational lifestyle through my courses, events or meeting you through my individual coaching.
With love,
Catherine x
