You can achieve sustainable success
Burnout & Wellbeing Coach
If you’re a founder, leader or director who’s exhausted, overwhelmed and wondering how long you can keep this up, I can help.
Hi, I’m Cat. I’ve burned out three times while building companies, leading teams and shipping products to millions of users. Each time I didn’t realise how much it was costing me until I hit crisis point.
I’ve built my coaching practice so that other people don’t have to experience burnout and stress the same way I did.
Maybe you are:
Running on empty but still performing like you’re fine; so nobody around you has noticed yet
Scared that slowing down means you’ll fall behind, lose funding or let people down
Carrying the weight of being the person who’s supposed to have all the answers
Starting to feel like the thing you’re building is now the thing that’s breaking you
Or maybe, your friends and family have voiced concerns you’re overdoing it, but you don’t want to admit it to yourself.
If you’re carrying too much, you’re not failing, you’re just missing the processes to help you safely put things down while you recharge.
Together, we work through a clear process:
Understand what’s happening to you and what’s going on emotionally, mentally and physically.
Map your stressors. We’ll list the obvious big ones and the small daily ones that compound over time.
Work through solutions to those stressors, one at a time.
Look at your energy so you know what boosts you and what drains you.
Build habits, tools and understanding that will help you find sustainable success long-term.
Burnout is prevented with sustainable ways of working rather than a quick fix.
While some coaches offer generic wellness advice, my approach is different. I’ve been the founder, the c-suite exec, the person who is supposed to have the answers while on the inside I was crumbling. I know what you’re going through and I can help.

No. I'd be wary of anyone who promises that. Burnout isn't solved once and forgotten; it's managed through ongoing awareness, habits and boundaries. What I offer is the process, tools and understanding to recognise your own warning signs, address what's actually causing your stress and build a sustainable way of working. I make sure you're equipped to manage it yourself long after we've finished working together. The work is yours to do; I'm here to guide and support you through it.
-
Yes. I'm not a therapist, doctor or clinician, and this isn't a replacement for one. Coaching focuses specifically on the practical, day-to-day patterns of how you work, lead and manage your energy.
-
Many clients pay through a personal development budget at work. It’s always worth asking.
I also occasionally offer reduced-rate spots. If cost is the only thing stopping you, please get in touch.
-
Most quick fixes treat the symptoms of burnout but not the cause. This process is built to find your personal causes of burnout and help you solve them, rather than just calming you temporarily.
-
Yes. What we discuss stays between us. If your employer is paying, I don't report back on the content of our sessions. The confidentiality is often exactly what makes it easier to be honest here than it would be internally.
-
Yes. Most people I work with aren't in full crisis when we start. They are the ones who've noticed something's not sustainable and want to deal with it before it becomes a crisis. The earlier you catch burnout and implement the tools and techniques, the easier it is to prevent (or recover from).
-
Yes. Sessions are online (excluding the in-person intensive option), so I work with clients internationally.
-
Absolutely! I am more than happy to set up a free 30 minute call to discuss what you’re going through and see how I can help. Just drop me a message to get started.
