ABOUT

I’m KATE,
the ski mindset coach®.

Helping Good Skiers Rediscover Their Confidence

I'm a Certified Mindset Coach, EFT Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist-in-training, specialising in helping skiers overcome fear, rebuild confidence and enjoy skiing again.

My work combines mindset coaching, EFT, Matrix Reimprinting and hypnotherapy to help people move beyond the thoughts, beliefs and emotional patterns that hold them back - not just on the slopes, but in other areas of life too.

While much of my work is with women over 40, I also support men, young people and performance-focused athletes who want to perform with greater confidence, clarity and self-trust.

GET IN TOUCH WITH ME

Why This Matters So Much To Me

I've skied since I was young.

I've had countless lessons.

I'm married to a ski instructor.

Yet despite all of that, there was a time when my own confidence disappeared.

The technique was still there.

The confidence wasn't.

Like many of the women I now work with, I found myself hesitating, overthinking and questioning my ability on runs I knew I could ski.

That's when I realised something that changed everything.

Confidence isn't built through better technique alone.

It's built through mindset.

Learning to regulate fear, trust yourself and quieten the inner dialogue that keeps telling you something will go wrong.

That realisation became the foundation of everything I do today.

From Stuck in the Snow to Moving Forward

There was a time when I could find fault in almost everything - the weather, my workload, even the family ski holidays I'd once looked forward to.

Somewhere between the to-do lists and the exhaustion, life started to feel heavier.

And on the slopes?

My confidence had quietly disappeared.

One day I caught myself mid-moan and thought:

"When did I become this person?"

That was my turning point.

I realised no one was coming to rescue me.

Just as on a mountain, I had to take the first step myself.

So I did.

I started paying attention to my thoughts.

I learnt how to calm my nervous system.

I rebuilt the trust I'd lost in myself.

Little by little, everything changed.

Not only my skiing, but my relationships, my work, my energy and the way I approached life.

It wasn't magic.

It was mindset.

And now I have the privilege of helping others experience that same transformation.

  • “You are one of the best coaches I have worked with so far. You are extremely perceptive, you are very good at prompting the coachee to come up with their own ideas, and you do not encroach on their process”.

    - NS

  • “Kate was amazing when I needed help making a big decision. My head was full of so many thoughts whizzing around my head that I felt paralysed and couldn't move forward. She was friendly and warm and helped me sort through it all. Step by step, she helped me figure out what was really important to me and what was just unhelpful noise in my head. She made something that felt really hard become much more manageable”.

    - Aisling Maher

  • “Kate is an amazing Coach! She asked me questions that made me think deeply and take actions in my life to make changes. I would often think of things she said or got me to discover, after we talked. She is easy to talk to, trustworthy, and has your best interest in mind. I left our calls feeling energized and ready to take on the world. She gave me skills to help me cope with issues that arise. She gave me confidence to be who I am. To love me for me. Thank you Kate! You have made a huge difference in my life and my family’s lives”.

    - Alissa Gardner

  • "My experience was good because I was able to overcome something that was troubling me a lot and keeping me back from showing my full potential. Before starting this program I was nervous and scared before every practice or race, however after starting the program I am able to approach each race and practice with full confidence. Using the techniques such as the EFT technique which helped calm me down and gave me positive affirmations".

    - Aasha Patel

  • "I was nervous about coaching, about what it would reveal and whether it would work. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to experience coaching with Kate. She enabled me to unlock the tools to feel confident and capable and to trust in myself. This unlocked my cycle of fear and I am over the moon to say that I have just returned from a ski holiday and enjoyed every second! I haven't magically become an expert skier, but, I had enough confidence to start trying to develop my technique, tackle challenges I wouldn't have done previously and more generally felt able to 'go with the flow'. Mindset coaching has been invaluable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kate to anyone".

    - Amy

  • "Before working with Kate I had a lot of self doubt and inner chatter which I just couldn't seem to find away to stop or change. Kate gave me different tools to help and calm down the inner self doubt before it spiralled and make me second guess decisions. Kate is warm, non judgemental and provided a safe place so we could work through issues that were stopping me seeing things clearer".

    - K

  • “Working with Kate was the best investment I made in myself in many years.”

    JC

  • "Working with Kate has been a really important part of my development as a ski racer. The physical side of the sport is obviously huge, but the mental side is just as important, and Kate has helped me understand that in a much deeper way. Through the work we’ve done together, I’ve learned how to manage the pressure that comes with racing, especially on the start line when everything can feel quite intense. Kate has helped me build routines and ways of thinking that allow me to stay present, trust my preparation, and focus on the process rather than the outcome. One of the biggest things for me has been learning how to reset after mistakes or difficult races. Instead of overthinking runs or carrying frustration forward, I’ve developed tools to reflect, learn from it, and move on quickly so I can perform again the next day. Kate has a really calm and thoughtful way of working, and she creates an environment where you can be completely honest about what’s going on in your head as an athlete. That trust has made a big difference to me, and I feel much more confident in how I approach both training and competition now. I’m really grateful for the support and I’d highly recommend Kate to any athlete who wants to develop the mental side of their performance in a genuine and meaningful way."

    - Molly Butler

  • "I’ve had several ski holidays and felt like every time I went my skiing got worse instead of better. I was getting more and more anxious to the point I almost cancelled my holiday. And yet when skiing worked I loved it! Then someone suggested contacting Kate - I’m so glad they did. We talked through what I was anxious about, how I felt, my experiences, … and then things started to click. I realised I did have skills but my anxiety was taking over. I was catastrophising- imagining the worst that could happen. Kate helped me remember my successes. Armed with a recording to reinforce what we had been doing I tried one more ski holiday. And do you know what? It was a revelation. I could eat breakfast. On the first day when the instructor sent us over to a ski lift I was actually smiling. And on the slopes I didn’t have that feeling of so many bits of instruction coming into my head that I couldn’t work out what to do next. I didn’t focus on what could go wrong. I breathed slowly, and just listened to the instructor and …. I skied! I enjoyed it. I did turns. I didn’t fall over. One of my fellow skiers told me she liked skiing behind me as it was like being in a you tube video! Thank you Kate, for the first time ever I enjoyed my skiing holiday from start to finish. So much so that I’ve booked another one."
