About Katie
Professional Experience
​
Coaching Experience
​
​As an accredited, certified coach with the International Coaching Federation, I work both ethically and responsibly.
Having qualified in 2019 with Barefoot Coaching and holding a Post Graduate Certificate in Personal and Business Coaching from the University of Chester, my work is grounded in evidence-based research and psychological theory.
​
​​​As a commitment to both my clients and to myself, I invest in personal coaching, in Continuing Professional Development and in regular, professional supervision.
​
​
Experience in Education
​
An extensive background in secondary education informs my practice. I have earned a strong reputation both as an expert classroom practitioner (formerly holding Specialist Leader of Education status for English), and as an outstanding pastoral leader.
​
I am a governor in a primary school, with a particular responsibility for safeguarding.
​
As a coach, I have continued my work in the education sector by coaching a significant number of headteachers and principals, senior leaders and teaching staff and I now work with several schools on an on-going basis.
Delivery of CPD sessions around coaching is something that I also offer to educational establishments. Please see my page on education for more information.

​
Expertise in Creative Reflection
​
Since October 2021, I have written and hosted The Sunday Morning Journalling Club. This live, monthly session brings people together from across the globe to write together. I create and share a variety of prompts designed to inspire thinking, writing and action.
​
This foundation of work has dovetailed with my coaching expertise, leading to a number of bespoke creative reflection workshops that I have written for organisations and groups.
