About Kate
I work with women who feel like they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way.
In motherhood. In grief. In change. In the quiet moments no one else seems to notice.
My work exists for the in-between places - the ones where identity unravels and something new begins to form, quietly, without a clear map. I hold space for people navigating emotional transitions that don’t always get recognised, let alone named.
Everything I offer - from 1:1 coaching to group programmes and workshops - is grounded in grief and identity theory. It’s shaped not just by research, but by lived experience. This means we don’t rush to “fix” anything. Instead, we slow down, explore what’s been lost, and gently reconnect with what still matters.
The why
By the time I became a mother, I already held a Master’s degree in Death, Religion and Culture, where I studied how people make meaning through loss - from mourning rituals to the psychology of grief.
But nothing prepared me for the grief that came without a death.
Motherhood unraveled me in quiet, subtle ways. It wasn’t dramatic. Just a slow, erosion of the version of myself I once recognised. And because no one had died, I didn’t think I was allowed to call it grief.
But it was.
It took time and the blending of academic knowledge with lived experience to see that grief doesn’t only appear when someone dies. It arrives when we lose our sense of self. When identities shift. When life quietly stops fitting the way it used to.
That realisation changed everything.
And it’s why I do this work now: to offer spaces that name those invisible losses, and support the process of becoming someone new.
My approach is steady, honest, and research-informed. I don’t believe in quick fixes or surface-level advice .
Whether we work together through 1:1 coaching, the 6-week self-paced programme, or a workshop, you’ll find that this work is designed to bring clarity, not pressure:
🌸 Structure without strain
Each session follows a clear structure but adapts to what’s happening in your life right now.
🌸 Reflection without performance
This isn’t about putting on a mask of positivity - it’s about understanding what’s shifting and why.
🌸 Theory grounded in real life
I draw from grief and identity studies, emotional-literacy frameworks, and lived experience to help people feel less alone in their questions and more connected to their unfolding selves.
