Hi, I’m Kate

Like many women, I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years.

I’m a business owner, a festival organiser, a psychology student, a mum and a grandmother — and like most of us, I’ve experienced my own share of life’s twists, turns, and unexpected changes along the way.

Those experiences have shaped who I am today and led me to create Gentle Roots Coaching.

Why I Do This Work

At certain points in life, things begin to shift.

Sometimes those changes are obvious — a divorce, a health challenge, the children growing up, or a new diagnosis that suddenly helps make sense of years of feeling different.

Sometimes the shift is quieter — a feeling that the life you’ve been living no longer quite fits, or a growing sense that there might be something more waiting for you.

These moments can feel uncertain, but they can also be incredibly powerful.

They offer an opportunity to pause, reflect, and ask an important question:

What do I want the next chapter of my life to look like?

That’s where coaching can make a real difference.

My Approach

Coaching with me isn’t about fixing you or telling you what to do.

It’s about creating a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, reconnect with what truly matters to you, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Through thoughtful conversation and powerful questions, coaching helps you uncover the answers that are already within you.

My role is simply to walk alongside you as you explore what comes next.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not coaching, you’ll usually find me:

• Running my aircooled Volkswagen business
• Organising the Field of Dreams Aircooled VW Show in York
• Studying psychology
• Spending time with my family and my grandsons
• Or out walking my dog Toby

I believe life is full of different chapters, and every stage has something valuable to offer.

Sometimes all we need is the space to pause, reflect, and decide what we want to create next.

An Invitation

If you’re navigating a life transition and feeling ready to explore what comes next, I’d love to have a conversation with you.

Sometimes the most powerful step forward begins with simply talking things through.

Let’s have a conversation.
