Welcome friend, I’m Kathleen and I want to first start by telling you my heart-breakingly hilarious and embarassing story as to how I got HERE:
For most of my life, I was crippled by what I now understand to be low self-worth, poor self-esteem, and severe abandonment issues.
To cope with this pain, my brain developed a raging case of anxiety and overthinking, keeping me stuck in a place where I constantly worried about all the “what ifs” and always zoomed in on my mistakes and all the places where I didn’t measure up.
It was an incredibly difficult place to live, and, as you can imagine, it progressively got worse when I started drinking, partying, and having sex.
Alcohol was the escape and helped me quiet the self-critical, anxious thoughts inside my head and gave me a false sense of confidence—a feeling I wanted to hold onto as long as possible.
I made many mistakes, developed an eating disorder, and began to live a life far from the one I actually wanted. I felt lost, confused, and honestly just desperate for love and someone to tell me I was enough, I was special, and that I was wanted.
I spent years people-pleasing and being a social chameleon, becoming a version of myself that I thought would be liked by the most people.
Turns out, I didn’t really like the person I had become.
My breaking point came when my body began to manifest my emotional pain through severe physical symptoms - there’s no polite way to say this, but I literally started shitting myself on a daily basis. With chronic case of diarrhoea, smelly gas, bloating and pain - the doctors slapped me a diagnosis of IBS and told me to restrict my food even more than I already was.
Thankfully I can laugh about the hilarity of it now, but at the time it was terrifying. It was like every single emotion and feeling I had used alcohol, travelling, partying and sex to escape had all come up at once - except now it was PHYSICAL instead of just emotional.
I went from being the life of the party with a huge social life to being terrified to leave my bathroom. I lost a ton of friends, isolated myself, and experienced so much fear and anxiety at the thought of being too far from a bathroom.
My relationship and sex life crumbled; I felt disgusting and ashamed and tried to hide my symptoms and pain from everyone. I fell right back into disordered eating and felt so afraid of my own body. It’s as if all the emotional pain I was in, but had been distracting myself from, had become a physical pain I could no longer ignore and was forced to face on a daily basis.
Enter: my healing era. I started working with my first coach, feeling desperate to change. I sought help, got incredibly vulnerable with the small circle of family and friends I had around me, and began to work on all the “issues” I had been trying to ignore: the big emotions, the anxiety, the IBS, the eating disorder, body image, self-criticism, shame, daddy issues, abandonment wounds, and so much more.
And I am so effing grateful every single day that I made it through.
Today, my passion lies in helping others navigate their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.
As a multi-modality trained coach, specialising in Parts Work, Inner Child Healing, Somatic EMDR, and Leadership & Mindset Coaching, I offer personalised coaching to address the root causes of your challenges.
My approach is grounded in realness, rawness, and vulnerability, because I believe we all have struggles, and true growth comes from facing them instead of avoiding them, like I did for years.
I teach self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-leadership, equipping you with a toolbox of therapy skills to overcome fear, pain, and doubt for the rest of your life.
My goal is to help you build belief in yourself, find clarity, and create the life you truly want. Together, we’ll explore techniques tailored to your unique needs, guiding you towards becoming the most authentic and empowered version of yourself.
Book a session and start your journey towards confidence, clarity, and actionable change. You deserve to feel good enough and to be living the life you really want to live, as the most YOU you could possibly be.
AND I have a NEW self-help podcast called What To Do When… a podcast to help you work through life’s tricky moments with live coaching and therapy self-work skills taught and guided each episode.

MY WORK
I guide clients through my Mindset Transformation Method to create breakthroughs in all areas of their life. Teaching them how to build self-trust + inner confidence and how to finally start feeling worthy of having it all.
I believe in the ripple effect. When one area of your life is off, be it your relationship, your health, your career or how you feel about yourself, this will ripple into all other areas of your life, creating self-doubt, comparison, fear, insecurity and ultimately, self-sabotage when it comes to your dreams, desires and goals.
I’m passionate about empowering others to ditch the quick-fix solutions, daily affirmations, 5 day cleanses and challenges, to instead, boldly and openly begin to dig deeper and identify the root cause of the current mis-alignment in your life.
I support people in discovering the beliefs and blocks that have been holding them back from creating their dream life and being who they deeply feel, they are meant to be.
MINDSET TRANSFORMATION METHOD
1. SELF-AWARENESS
The process of waking up and looking back to move forward. Using the power of reflection + learning mindfulness + self-compassion skills. Identifying your patterns, triggers, self-sabotaging behaviours, your limiting beliefs, all the things that have kept you playing small and are currently blocking you from the life you want to live.
2. HEALING & REPROGRAMMING
The process of digging deeper to where it all began and rewriting your belief system. Healing your wounds, changing patterns and working through triggers to rewire your brain so that you start creating true, lasting behaviour change and making different choices.
It’s in this part we begin to use therapy tools like parts therapy, EMDR, Inner child or somatic work.
We focus on finding the tools that work best for you in this process, as everyone is different. Accessing the subconscious mind is at the forefront of this step.
3. SELF-TRUST
The process of integrating. Learning how to rely on self, developing and refining your unique healing method to use for the rest of your life. Showing yourself over and over again that you hold your power and that your worthiness is always yours.
This is one of the most crucial steps, where you begin using your therapy tools in your daily life as “self-work”, to help you work towards your personal and professional goals. Building confidence in yourself that you can navigate challenges and blocks as they come up using all that you have learnt inside this program - these will be the life-long therapy skills you use the rest of your life as you keep growing, evolving and changing.
THE MAGIC OF COACHING & THERAPY
PARTS THERAPY, SOMATIC WORK, INNER CHILD HEALING AND EMDR.
Coaching others through some of their darkest, deepest and most uncomfortable feelings is the greatest honour. I care deeply for my clients and my role as a coach, is to help you learn the skills of self-compassion and forgiveness, and understand HOW to get connected to who you are at your core and then support you in making the, sometimes scary choices and decisions, to create the life you truly want to lead.
Simply put, “when you’re inside the frame, you can’t see the full picture”.
My role, as a coach, is to help clients zoom out, and see the full picture of their life. Rather than looking back in 5 years time, with the wisdom that time so cruelly brings, a coach can create that same widened perspective of your life now, as it’s happening, and guide you through the process of waking up to your patterns, call you out on your self-sabotage and support you in making aligned choices, having courageous conversation, setting boundaries with yourself and others, and prioritising your healing and development.
Now for the therapy component: I’ve taken the time to train in a wide range of therapy tools, because what works for one person looks completely different to another. Each of these therapy tools have their own value, and personalisation is a huge focus of mine. I’ve seen too many people attempt to heal and grow by copying a method or therapy tool that just doesn’t work for them - at no fault of their own, and end up feeling more stuck and shameful than when they started.
I love going on the journey with each client to discover the best and most efficient ways to access their unconscious blocks and core wounds that are holding them back, and then teaching each client how to do this self-therapy in simple steps for the rest of their life.
WHY WORK WITH ME
Alright, let’s get vulnerable babeee! Let me share some of my story with you…
The reason I’m a great coach is because I’ve been where you are, and I’m often there with you.
I’ve got daddy + mummy issues, big ones.
Trust issues, yeah I’ve got them too.
I often worry I’m too selfish.
I fear what people will think about me every time I hit post on Instagram.
I’m recovering from an Eating Disorder and have big history with binge drinking.
I’ve lied, gotten defensive, triggered and gone back to the same guy I knew was no good for me, more times than I can count.
And for years, I thought attention or sex = love
I’ve made plenty of mistakes and will make many more. This is my human-ness shining through, and it always will.
This vulnerability has given me the ability to connect, relate and create a safe space for others to share their struggles, their shame, their deepest fears and insecurities.
Mindset Transformation is a life-long journey, and I can’t tell you how proud I am of how far I’ve come and I’m so grateful to now get to witness this journey within others.
I’m different, I coach differently and I’m so overwhelmingly proud of my creation, The Mindset Transformation Method and the impact it’s had for people hundreds of people all over the world.
I know that if you’re reading this and you feel connected to my story, my words, heck even my jokes, this is your sign from the universe that you landed here for a specific reason. Look at my current offers, book a connection call with me, connect with me on Instagram, listen to the podcast, purchase a pre-recorded workshop, begin your Mindset Transformation Journey and know that change is entirely possible, you just have to decide to bravely and vulnerably take a step towards it.
