About The Working Well Doctor
Core Values at The Working Well Doctor
Through every step to building the Working Well Doctor, Katya has stayed true to her core values of Growth Mindset, Acceptance, Compassion & Permission.
Good Work is Good For You
Good work makes you feel good and helps those around you.
There is dignity in work, as well as the pay, recognition, sense of purpose and enjoyment it can provide.
Most of us care deeply about our work and it is important that it feels right for us.
Growth Mindset
Alongside her fair share of knowledge and skills, Katya has lived experience of late diagnosed Neurodivergence and knows first hand the importance of learning, trying and growing.
Permission
Permission to look after yourself is key, alongside all the caring you do for others.
Acceptance
Stigma among professionals remains a real barrier for so many who are struggling or feeling overwhelmed.
Katya has made it her mission to shift this - one conversation, training or coaching session at a time.
Compassion
Through all this compassion is central, for ourselves and those around us.
Stories can Heal
Stories connect us and help us make sense of the world.
We need to understand who is driving the stories we hear and the stories we tell ourselves.
Katya runs creative writing workshops and writes a regular newsletter - sign up here Thrive Well Newsletter.
The Working Well Doctor provides a safe and inspirational space to find your way to work well.

About You
If you are a professional who cares - sometimes too much, who likes to chat and reflect, who is juggling family and loves the outdoors, we are likely to get along famously.
If you are ready to take action, and a courageous look at the state of play, you are my favourite kind of person.
If you have an inkling - or more than an inkling - that there may be something a little neurodivergent going on, we are likely to be a good fit.
