The Zurich Community Trust are passionate about supporting the charities we work with both through funding and non-financial offerings. Wellbeing is very much on our agenda and it hasn’t been more important than now, to provide this type of support, so we recruited Kate to run a number of one hour sessions throughout 2021. These sessions have proved really popular and we’ve received great feedback. Thanks, Kate, for your professional approach and we look forward to working with you again next year!

Sarah, National Partnerships & Development Manager

Over the first half of 2020, I had juggled a new demanding leadership role at work whilst trying to be a committed mum to my 3-year-old daughter (including during several months of the nursery being shut). I approached Kate because by the middle of the year I had realised I needed to invest some more time and focus on myself but I didn’t really know where to start. I saw her advert in a magazine and was then attracted to her online profile mainly because her approach appeared to be tailored to people like me who want to improve their wellbeing but have little time to spare.

When I first started working with Kate, my stress levels were really high, around an 8-9 out of 10 on a daily basis, sometimes reaching what felt like a 10/10! Now, only three months in to our coaching work together, and I feel like I’m averaging a 4/10 on the stress scale, which makes such a difference to my overall quality of life. 

Lindi, Accountant

We recently had Kate speak at Stress Awareness Day. Not only was she well received by the audience she was easy to work with, personable and spent extra time listening to everyone and interacting with them. Her high energy and enthusiasm was amazing.

Wellbeing Committee Lead, Zurich Insurance

I have a demanding job running my own company and had fallen into the trap of not focussing time on my wellbeing whilst continuing to operate at full steam. Working with Kate has enabled me to focus on and listen to the cues my body presents and find the space and time to restore and replenish. Through Kate’s knowledge and practical advice, I have embedded some smart new behaviours into my life, and the result has been a positive impact on my energy levels and a shift in focus to prioritise my wellbeing alongside the needs of my business and family.

Kate’s ‘Live Well to Achieve More’ health and wellbeing course was hugely valuable and worth every penny. Kate shared helpful insights and actions across several well-structured topics with great knowledge and passion, and the group format helped me feel that many of us have similar challenges and goals – we are not alone. The format of the course and Kate’s personality have helped me change many things in my day-to-day life already, and those changes are resulting in me living in a more healthy, mindful and balanced way, which is positively affecting my life, my work and my mindset.

Lucie, Senior Manager

I work for an enlightened employer and as such, I knew it was an important investment to make in my team to provide some support around managing energy and resilience. Kate gave the team practical tips to help them be who they want to be from a lifestyle perspective and more importantly, how this becomes a natural integration of who they are at work. Our business has benefited from this investment as the team are performing at an optimum level consistently and we have created a culture where wellbeing is lived and breathed across the team with a recognition that people’s wellbeing is as individual as they are.

Denise, Director, Client Partnerships & Comms

Kate has ran a number of sessions for BM staff over the past 3 years as part of our regular health and wellbeing events. She receives really good feedback from participants and has demonstrated that she is willing to work flexibly and responsively to adapt her offer to specific needs. We would be very happy to work with her again on similar initiatives.

Christopher, Head of HR

Kate’s mentoring makes absolute sense to me even more so now that I have two small children. Her gentle approach meant that I could find ways to support my own mental, physical and emotional wellbeing soon after I had had my second child.

Caroline, Business Owner

The course is easy to keep up with, and Kate shares many examples, tips and resources which are useful not only during the course but – more importantly – afterwards. I’m developing healthier habits and achieving more of my goals, and this is purely down to the advice that Kate offers and the way in which she shares that advice. This course was inspiring, useful and great value for money – especially given the depth and breadth of topics covered and advice given. Thank you Kate!

Emma, Associate

Kate collaborates with our L&D team in a very positive manner which means the sessions are brilliantly tailored to our audience and consistent with our brand and culture. I would highly recommend Kate as a Consultant and look forward to working with her going forwards.

Rosie, L&D Advisor, Law Firm

Kate has designed and delivered a number of workshops for employees, each one being met with fantastic feedback. Her expertise and communication style combines brilliantly to result in engaging and informative sessions. Kate understands the fast-paced, high-pressure environment we operate within and reflects this in the advice and guidance she gives so it remains relevant, and is more than open to feedback.

Rosie, L&D Advisor, Law Firm

My body feels more fluid and mentally I feel happier, inspired and more energetic! Kate’s personal one-to-one coaching has given me the confidence to be more active, fit and to effectively prioritise looking after my wellbeing in a way that is doable for me whilst also being a busy working Mum of two – something I’d never thought was actually possible!!

India, Clinical Director

I am equipped with practical tools to trust my body and intuition and as important to me to think of my life holistically rather than work and the rest of it. What I truly appreciate now, is less is really more. Rather than on this constant treadmill, I really do make space for being outside, learning new things and have tuned into my body. I used to be at war with it and now I treat myself like a precious asset. Working with Kate has given me confidence, insight and most importantly, time to focus on me, which has benefited my whole life.

Deborah, Director, Marketing & Partnerships

I loved the six months of coaching with Kate because she first helped me to shape my goals, then she steadily guided me by listening compassionately and providing advice that I could realistically implement. By the end of the 6 months with Kate, I had not only found a new job that was more aligned with my personal values but I’d also learnt techniques to reduce my stress levels. This has not only helped me to make better work decisions but has also meant I have more quality time with my daughter.
