About Me
Luxembourg
Kate is a Coaching Psychologist (Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society) and certified Trauma Informed Coach, with over 1000 logged hours of client work (accredited Professional Certified Coach with the ICF). She lives in Luxembourg, coaches in English, and works 1:1 online in any suitable time zone!
Most people don’t know that what we refer to as “trauma” is in fact the natural survival responses that developed in humans through evolution. In this modern day, these responses still happen inside the body, mind, and spirit. They are not signs of illness, disease, or injury. The World Health Organisation estimated in 2016 that 70% of the world population has been exposed to at least one traumatic event or situation, yet of these only around 9% get a clinical diagnosis. That leaves a lot of people without specific injury or illness, who may still be experiencing a trauma response. Many of them seek coaching or therapy – but since trauma-informed practice is still quite rare, they can struggle to get effective help, to get unstuck, and move on in life.
This is where trauma-informed coaching comes in. Having trauma responses that are unhelpful inside of you comes with a twist - this very self-protection can also create separation and isolation inside of you. And if you don’t get the right kind of support, you can at best feel frustrated and sad that you can’t seem to make progress in certain areas of life, and at worst you can develop a wide range of physical and mental illnesses and injuries. This causes stress, unhappiness, loss of effectiveness at work, difficulties in relationships, and if it goes on long enough, illnesses of the body and mind that cost organisations and health services millions.
I stand against a world that sticks embarrassing labels of "mental illness" onto these natural, protective, responses. Especially when they keep you small for life.
Instead, I stand for you to compassionately re-unite with the isolated and wounded-seeming parts of you. To heal and repair. As I coach, I am your Expert Companion. I help and guide you to recover, find meaning in what you've been through, and get back your energy and zest for life.
Imagine being so deeply compassionate to yourself that you heal, move on, and in turn help others around you. Why? to make your life worth the effort you put into it, so you ease suffering and get the fun back!
Please get in touch for an absolutely no-obligation chat (hard selling goes against everything I just talked about!). I’m trained to help you work through your options, only some of which could include working with me. I can help you consider whether therapy or other approaches may be more suitable for you. I don’t diagnose or pathologise. I do listen, hear, and see the whole of you.
