I'm Kate,
co-founder of Colchester Cognitive Hypnotherapy & Wellbeing Centre.
I've always wanted to help people. I remember the careers teacher at school asking me what I wanted to do with my life. I didn't know what, I just knew I wanted to make a difference to people.
I had my three children and worked part time around the school run for years, then in 2014 I completed a counselling course as I knew this path was still calling me, but the timing wasn't quite right to continue as my children were still quite young. But then it was. I had therapy which helped me to rediscover myself and what was important to me, and off I went to study.
I am now a Cognitive Hypnotherapist, master NLP practitioner and coach and I love what I do! It's such a privilege to be part of people's journeys. To be trusted with parts of themselves that no one else knows about and to see people skip out of the room at the final session is an honour and something I will never take for granted.
Now I work with people to help them rediscover and empower themselves the way I did. I know just how powerful it can be, because I've experienced it.
What you get from me is the opportunity to be seen and heard and understood, maybe for the first time. Clients say they found I put them at ease straight away (it's normal to be nervous to begin with), and that they feel safe with me. It's really important you like the person sitting opposite you, I do my utmost to hold that space for you.
When I'm not working, I love a good walk in the countryside, I am at my most happy next to a field with rolling views, especially if there's a tractor involved.
I am mum to three and grandmother to one and we have a noisy but lovable miniature schnauzer who likes to bark her head off at anything that moves.
