"Everyone needs a Kathryn in their corner. I can't recommend her enough. Working with kathryn was incredibly insightful. Through our coaching sessions, we explored my values, goals and long-term vision, which helped me truly understand what makes me tick."

I'm excited to share a new chapter in my professional journey. Alongside my reflexology and reiki, I am currently training to become an Emotional Intelligence Coach. This new path feels like a natural extension of my existing practice, as they are all dedicated to helping people connect with their inner selves and find greater balance.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and to recognise the emotions of those around you. It's a key factor for  both personal and professional success. Understanding your own emotional intelligence can help you navigate life's challenges in a way that should feel easier and more comfortable.

Why Explore Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Coaching?

All of us were taught how to solve equations and write essays at school but few of us were taught how to process emotions or manage a heavy feeling. EQ coaching is about filling in those gaps. 

To Turn Reacting into Responding

Do you ever say something in the heat of the moment and wish you could take it back? Or feel a wave of anxiety that ruins your entire afternoon? Coaching helps you build a buffer zone. It gives you space to breathe so you can choose a response you’re proud of, rather than one driven by panic or hurt.

To Quiet the Noise of Comparison

It’s hard not to feel like life is falling apart when your timeline looks different to your friends’. When everyone seems to be hitting milestones, your internal critic can get very loud. Coaching helps you disconnect your self-worth from these external checklists, allowing you to find genuine peace with where you are right now.

To Understand Your ‘Why’

We all have those recurring patterns—the same arguments, the same way we shut down when things get tough. Coaching offers a safe space to look internally. When you understand why you feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable or hurt, the feelings starts to lose their power over you.

To Build Resilience That Lasts

Life won't stop being unpredictable, and people won't stop being challenging. The goal of coaching isn't to create a life where nothing goes wrong; it’s to make you the kind of person who can handle whatever comes your way with a sense of calm and confidence.

You don’t need to be in a crisis to benefit from EQ coaching. You just need to want to live with a bit more clarity and a lot more kindness towards yourself. The goal of emotional intelligence coaching is to help you understand yourself. By working together, we can explore:

• Feeling stuck or unsure of your direction
• Managing overthinking and anxiety
• Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
• Navigating challenging life transitions
• Building confidence in your personal and professional life

A Gentle Reminder: You are the expert on your life. I’m just here to help you find the tools to navigate it with your own authenticity.

As I work towards my certification, I am looking for a small number of committed individuals to work with me as practice clients. This is a great opportunity to experience the benefits of emotional intelligence coaching at a reduced rate and in return, your participation will provide me with invaluable experience as I complete my training.

Our sessions will be fully confidential and supportive, offering a safe space for you to reflect and grow.

Our sessions will be 30 minutes long and can take place weekly or bi-weekly, the choice is yours. That said, we can't leave more than two weeks between sessions. This is because consistency is vital for building self-awareness and sustaining change. The brain needs regular reinforcement to create and strengthen new neural pathways, a process known as neuroplasticity. Gaps longer than two weeks can slow this process down and reduce the impact of our work together.
