Some of My Clients






Coaching has been an absolutely worthwhile process with definite visible benefits to the person being coached and to the business.
It has been fantastic working with you and I really feel you have helped me grow in my role as a leader.
Catherine is very “customer”-oriented, in listening mode while coming up with very useful suggestions, ideas and exercises. She was able to keep the group energy at a very high level and facilitated with a lot of tact and flexibility….she helped create a strong team spirit and delivered very useful outcomes.
“I help my clients work together more effectively and get the results they want.”
I lived overseas for several years and this was a life-enhancing experience and really opened my eyes to human behaviour and cultural differences
My work has continued with this underlying theme of behavioural change and personal development ever since.
I often use personality Type, (eg MBTI), Temperament and Interaction Styles to help my clients understand themselves and each other so they can work together more effectively and get the results they want.
I am a Trustee and Board member of the British Association of Psychological Type (BAPT).
