Helping mid-life women untangle responsibility they never chose

So you can live with more clarity, choice and self-trust.

 

 1:1 Therapeutic Coaching (trauma-informed)

Using hypnosis, somatic and other psychotherapeutic approaches.

Do any of these feel familiar?

01.

When life feels out of sync

You find yourself doing what’s expected, meeting other people’s needs and keeping things running, while feeling increasingly disconnected from your own voice and choices.

Something feels off, but it’s hard to name what or why.

02.

Carrying more than your share

You’re reliable, caring, and often the one others lean on, yet there’s a quiet doubt about whether your own needs are allowed to take up space.

You give easily, but receiving or asking feels complicated.

03.

Uneven relationships

You hold back what matters to you to avoid tension, smooth things over, or keep the peace, and resentment quietly builds.

You want relationships that feel mutual, not managed.

04.

Feeling stuck, despite effort

You sense there’s more available to you, but something keeps pulling you back into the same loops.

You’re not sure what needs to change, only that pushing harder isn’t working.

Thoughtful stories, reflections and practical prompts... For mid-life women who’ve spent years carrying a lot, and want space to listen to themselves again

This isn’t your typical “self-care tips” newsletter. It’s about deep care for women in mid-life and beyond who have spent years putting their own feelings aside to keep things running smoothly.

You’ll receive thoughtful stories and practical prompts drawn from my coaching, hypnotherapy, and somatic work, offering space to reflect, make sense of what you’re carrying, and and notice what matters most right now.

About me

I work with women who have spent a long time carrying responsibility, often quietly and without real choice, and are beginning to feel the cost of that.

My approach is grounded, relational, and trauma-informed. I’m less interested in quick fixes than in helping you understand what’s actually happening, so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start making choices you can live with.

Alongside professional training and decades of clinical experience, my work is shaped by lived reality, including loss, betrayal, and significant life transitions. I know how disorienting it can be when familiar structures fall away, and how important it is to have steady, thoughtful support during those moments.

I don’t tell you what to do. I help you see clearly, so you can decide what’s right for you.

Work With Me

My work helps you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, so you can relate differently to long-standing patterns, clarify what matters to you, and make decisions you can stand behind.

Below are two ways of working with me, depending on the depth and pace of support you’re looking for. If you’re unsure which is the best fit, you’re welcome to book a short, no pressure chat.

A focused 3-session process for clarity and confident next-step decision-making about how to proceed around one primary issue.

A 6-month 1:1 guided journey of deep transformation, allowing you to stand powerfully in your own authority, consciously create a life of meaning and integrity, and step into your fullest potential.

This six-session package is designed for deep support on a more flexible basis and can be used however you like within the 3 months from purchase. 

Immediate guidance and support during life’s tough transitions. 

5/5
“Working with Catherine has provided a MUCH longed for breakthrough which truthfully, I wasn’t even sure I could manage despite a lot of previous effort, work and determination. I am seeing the abilities I suspected I had but couldn’t access begin to present themselves.
These include emotional poise, confidence, clarity, the ability to hold myself well in relationships, more focus and power, self worth, self love and more.”

“Had a massive breakthrough today. Wednesday cleared a load of stuff subconsciously. I can do things more organised and more easily and I’m able to stick to the task more easily. Bless you. You are very in tune with your clients and make a real effort to prep yourself to understand them as well as you can and this manifests so clearly in your work. It’s like you’ve always known me. You gave me so much to think of and to organise in a better way.”
