What Others Are Saying…
Dr Caroline Walker
“Katya’s coaching was a revelation for me at a critical time. I sought her help as a GP returning to work after a period of ill health, feeling disillusioned and in retrospect, I can see that I was close to burnout. It quickly became clear that she has a profound understanding of the natural transitions we face in life and in our careers and supported me to pause, reflect and make conscious choices about how I approach work in the future.
Her own experience as a doctor means that she understands the complexities of the ‘push and pull’ of a career in medicine instantly, meaning that no time was wasted on trying to explain the context. The sessions were much deeper in terms of self-examination and exploration than I had anticipated, which was exactly what I needed. Crucially, this deep work never felt intrusive; Katya masterfully created a space that was both challenging and entirely respectful of my boundaries. She helped me ensure that my decisions about the future were carefully considered and based on a deliberate match between what truly matters to me, and the nature of the work I do.
The sessions were followed up with suggestions for additional reading and self-reflection, so the momentum continued in the time between appointments. I have been left feeling quite different from the place I was in 6 months ago, with a clear idea of how I can design my career intentionally and in such a way that it is more likely to bring fulfilment and satisfaction. Overall, I now feel energised and excited about the future.
I would not hesitate to recommend Katya to any colleague, especially those feeling stuck or at a crossroads. It will equip you with the self-knowledge and tools to design a future which works, with gentle support, respectful challenge and no judgement”
“We loved having you speak today.
Some trainers have already given feedback that your session gave them confidence to pursue a different approach with their trainees - as a trainer and TPD, I will be making some changes too.”
“Thanks as always for our...session just now. It’s like a burst of warm ... sunshine which is a great feeling!”
“Suddenly I had space to voice how I felt without judgment.
In a few minutes she completely changed my mindset. It was transformational and insightful.
Now I am embarking on a journey of self improvement.
Although I was very successful in high pressure corporate life, when I left I needed guidance to help me unravel what was going on.
She provided the framework I needed to motivate myself.
