Take back control
of your creative career
My Straight Lines and Scribbles™️ approach comes from my deep understanding of people, acknowledging that we all think and work differently and that we all take our own unique path to reach our goals.
I love and celebrate the different ways we all make decisions, build relationships and manage our lives.
However you choose to work with me, I will adapt the sessions to meet you where you are.

Each of my 1:1 coaching sessions starts with the end in mind - what outcome are you looking for?
What change do you want to make?
What will be different at the end of the session?
What is your goal?
We’ll work on a topic of your choice for 90 minutes and you’ll gain clarity and confidence to make some decisions, prepare some actions and enable you to make positive changes in your life.
You may be experiencing:
Burnout and unhappiness - Struggling to juggle it all and having a work-life balance is out of reach. Finding time to relax and do the things you’re passionate about with the people you love feels impossible.
Uncertainty about your career - You once loved your work and enjoyed free creative expression but the landscape is different and it’s no fun anymore.
Or is it that you’re different? The interest and responsibilities that you have now, are no longer in alignment with the career you chose in your 20s.
Feeling trapped in your job - You’ve climbed the corporate ladder, but it’s not as shiny at the top as you expected. You don’t get to do the creative work you love and you’re managing people instead of creative projects. But the money is too good to walk away from, especially when you’ve got so many responsibilities. Or perhaps you want to progress but you’re stuck in your current role and unable to move forward, but don’t know what to do to get ahead.
Lack of confidence - You’re struggling with self-doubt or imposter syndrome, and have lost sight of what you offer the world and how to show off your unique superpowers.
Coaching for Businesses
Coaching is often offered to senior leaders in businesses, for its power to optimise performance, improve leadership skills, enhance personal confidence and deepen effective relationships.
I know the value coaching can bring throughout the organisation, and I am especially passionate about helping new managers or those preparing for management roles to step up and lead their teams skillfully and confidently.
I have a relatable and informal approach that allows me to connect easily with people at all levels and I blend my HR expertise, extensive management training and group and individual coaching to helping creatives thrive in a corporate world.
Let’s talk about how I can help you engage, retain and develop your people.
“76% of creative leaders say that they and their teams have felt burned out by their workload over the past year.”
- Superside, December 2024
I work with businesses who are experiencing:
Tension with other functions at boiling point
Tight deadlines and conflicting timelines, allowing no time for the creative process
Pressure to deliver against changing briefs
Lack of confidence in presenting their ideas; low resilience for criticism
High workload and poor boundary setting, leading to overwhelm and burnout
Poor time management and procrastination
Misalignment against strategy and mediocre delivery
Fear of AI and industry changes on their career
Lack of creativity, leading to low employee satisfaction/work happiness

Collaboration Audit
In businesses where there is unhealthy tension between creative teams and others, this collaboration audit uncovers the challenges that lead to friction and disrupt performance.
I hold confidential meetings with individuals and teams, to find improved ways of working and problem-solving together.

“Kat’s approachable style and direct manner is the perfect mix to make real personal progress in a relaxed environment. I always felt lighter, motivated and so inspired after each session”
Disillusioned by the creative industry and creeping close to burnout, but plagued by indecision about what to do next?
For empathetic creatives who thrive when they’re doing work they are proud of, navigating the creative corporate world can be tough. And if you’ve built a career over a number of years only to discover it is making you miserable, it can be tempting to quit.
But when you have responsibilities and people who depend on you, that is not always an option.
As your coach, I take the time to understand you and where you are now and support you as you make considered decisions about your career direction. I’ll gently guide you to take steps that will move you from indecision and uncertainty, towards a career that aligns with who you are now and a happier and fulfilled life, doing more of what you love.
“Coaching provides the space and time for you to think about your goals and the direction of your business, to reflect on areas in which you may feel ‘stuck’. It enables you to explore your beliefs, attitudes, behaviours and feelings about challenges and come up with resourceful and clear solutions. ”
