"I can recommend working with Kate to anyone. I only wish that I had taken this step much sooner. It was one of the best things I have ever done for myself" Marie, Netherlands
Can you tell me more about the Techniques you use in a session?
I always use a blend of techniques tailored to whatever you need in that moment, including:
Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques are taken from the study of some of the best therapists that have ever lived. I am fully certified as a NLP Master and NLP Coach.
NLP works with our subconscious mind. Because the real truth behind anything that makes us feel stressed, uncomfortable or upset is often only found at a deeper level.
With NLP, I can help you go deep enough to find the answer and let go of unhelpful thoughts & feelings (it has been called "hypnosis with your eyes open"). To open your mind to new possibilities in your future. And with further coaching I can show you how to become even more self aware and be your "true" self so you're free to succeed and cope easily with anything life throws at you.
Hypnotherapy is hypnosis for therapeutic purposes and I may use some in our session to get you in a relaxed, listening mode and to reinforce the changes we've made. This isn't woo-woo. It's safe and scientifically proven. And I'm fully trained (over 200 hours) and certified in Clinical Hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is the same kind of "trance" you're in when watching TV. It's the quickest way to get to a deeply, inner-focused, meditative state. You're in total control at all times. So don't expect to "feel" hypnotized. But do expect to completely relax, possibly for the first time in years. In this calm state you can also work with your body for any pain, dis-ease or ill-health you're experiencing. It's a great feeling. You'll love it!
Biocognition is a term created by clinical neuropsychologist Dr Mario Martinez. It explains how habits of thinking, feeling & acting, and the culture we grew up in, can affect how well we live (and for how long). I use techniques inspired by a mix of his work and Felt Sensing to help your body release stuck emotions. You will also learn how to tune into (and learn much from) your feelings and intuition.
Psychoneuroimmunology is the science of how our thoughts can help or hinder healing ourselves. I can help you use your subconscious thoughts to let your body release painful feelings or blocks to healing.
Mindfulness & Authentic Relating are the arts of relating to the reality of ourselves inside and to the world outside, without judging our experience as wrong or bad. They give us more flexibility, clarity and creativity in how we think and behave. I can show you how to use these skills to improve your relationship with yourself, with others, with your past & your future.
Neurographic Drawing - a kind of art therapy using your unconscious mind to help you change things through drawing it out on paper - even total art novices will create some really cool drawings too!
I also use other techniques from therapies too numerous to mention.
Whatever it takes to get you where you want to be.

What professional standards do you follow?
I am a professional coach/therapist and I am always training in something new and different to expand and improve my skills. I carry full professional insurance and abide by the highest standards of conduct and ethics. You can be assured of the best help I can give and total confidentiality of our sessions.
Are the sessions in person or online?
Right now I do online sessions by Zoom or Skype (or any other video chat service available to us both). Language used is English.
How do I book an appointment?
Contact me now and we'll discuss how I can help you and arrange our first session. Please understand if there's a waiting list for certain times or days.
how do i prepare for my first session?
I want you to get the very most out of our session, so I'll also be asking you to do some warm-up exercises to prepare for the changes to come. For example, I may ask you to keep a diary regarding your thoughts, feelings or behaviours for a week or two before the session and to email me a regular update.
I'll send you a copy of my client agreement so you can read it before our first session and details for payment.
On the day, wear your most comfortable clothes so you'll feel completely relaxed and just bring yourself and an open mind! For online sessions, make sure you find a private, safe place where you can talk openly, focus and not be disturbed in any way.
For best results, I suggest you book a session on a day when you have no plans for the evening and can just relax. Your mind and body will really need to rest and rebalance themselves after all the changes they will have made.

How long is a session and how many sessions will I need?
For a lasting difference, I always suggest 3 sessions to start (unless it's for a phobia or allergy which usually take only 1 session to release). Sessions are usually spaced a week or two apart at the most. Most people then like to top up with regular check-ins throughout the year.
A full adult session is 90 minutes. Mini sessions are also available - great for check-ins or those busy people who prefer many, shorter sessions. An hour is usually plenty for under 18s.

Can you help me if I'm taking medication?
Of course!
I’m not a doctor, but my work can be a very helpful addition to your medical treatment.
If you are experiencing serious problems such as physical or sexual abuse, active addiction, serious mental illness or serious depression, I urge you to seek professional medical help immediately. I may ask for prior approval from your doctor if you're under medical care for any of the above.
And, for all clients, it's important you don't drink alcohol or take any other mind-altering substances on the day of our session. Because, like any medication, this can seriously stress your mind & body and can affect how open your subconscious is to change.

What records do you keep of our sessions?
Firstly, I don't need to know any details about your story or your past. The techniques I use will work anyway.
I may note down certain words and phrases you say to help me communicate better with your inner self and I'll also note down what techniques I use during our work together. You can request to see any notes I've made at any time. I'm obliged to keep the client intake forms and all records safe & secure for a certain period for insurance purposes. They are then securely destroyed.
I'll keep the content of our sessions confidential, unless I believe that doing so could endanger me, you or other people or unless the law requires disclosure of its contents, or unless I receive a written request from you to disclose some information.

Do you offer payment plans?
Payment plans are always possible - just ask!
What's your cancellation policy?
I understand that life can often throw us a curve ball and get in the way of our best laid plans. So I will always be as flexible as I can in offering alternative solutions.
What kind of things can I change in a session?
We can work on anything you want to change about the way you think, feel or behave.
For starters, here are a few of mine I've worked on over the years...
For starters, here are a few of mine I've worked on over the years...
- You're overwhelmed and wish you could deal with stressful times in a better way.
- Something's holding you back from really going for it or maybe you sabotage your success when you try.
- You have Imposter Syndrome and a nasty inner critic and need it to go away.
- You can be a bit of a perfectionist, control freak and need to let go more.
- You know you'd have the energy to go for your dreams if you just did more exercise, but can't seem to motivate yourself.
- You need to get more creative with your career/business/life and wish you could shut off your head for a moment to think clearly.
- You feel you don't deserve success or happiness.
- You're a Type A workaholic and need to learn how to step off and relax now and again.
- You just feel off balance and ungrounded and need help to get back on your feet.
- You've been pretending to be someone you're not for so long, you don't know who you really are anymore.
- You're feeling unhappy with a business or personal relationship and can't work out what to do.
- You're struggling with an addiction, phobia or unhelpful habit that's holding you back from being your best.
- You're worried sick or obsessed about your health. You just wish you could be more positive to help your body heal and to allow you to focus on something else for a change.
- Things seem great on the outside, but you just can't shake this empty inner feeling - that there has to be more to life than this.
- You know. Anything ...
What does a typical session look like?
It depends on your unique subconscious mind. No two sessions are ever the same.
Generally, I start by asking you some questions that may seem strange & unrelated to your issue. This is because I’m seeing how your subconscious works. It may respond with images and abstract words that you can describe to me. This will help me understand where the roots of the issue are hiding.
We then use a few different subconscious communication techniques to discover which ones work best for you, so we can get the breakthrough you need.
I may help you find old emotions or memories that need to be released for you to change and move forward. You won't relive painful memories if you don't want to, there are always other ways to release them.
I can also teach you empowering techniques to improve your emotional balance and flexibility. And to program in a new, powerful vision of your future so it pulls you forward.
And we may end with a deep mind and body relaxation to help reinforce the changes you have made.
Throughout the session, you do very little! Your subconscious and my insight do all the hard work! You just simply relax and focus on my questions and tell me what comes up in your mind. There are no wrong answers. I'm told that a session with me is like a relaxing, informal chat with a sensible friend. It will simply fly by!
When we're working online, you will just need to be sitting comfortably, wearing your most comfortable clothes, in a private, quiet place where you're able talk openly and won't be disturbed.
