WARNING!
Coaching has been known to:
• Increase self confidence
• Aid understanding of yourself, your ways of working, communicating and navigating conflict
• Bring unashamed acceptance of yourself and your needs
• Create awareness of your coping and avoidance strategies
• Increase self-validation, so you make empowered, confident decisions
• Make people feel like themselves AND like how that feels!
I specialise in Redundancy Coaching
Combining my corporate and leadership experience and my expertise as a Coach, I utilise my strengths-focused, person-led Coaching approach to provide invaluable support to people when navigating this uncertain time.
I have experienced redundancy personally, I am able to view it as an employer and as a Leader, as a team-mate (alongside my peers), as a Mum, a mortgage payer, and an empath.
The complexity of the experience makes it a tough time to see things clearly and rationally, thus Coaching speeds up the process of ‘coming out the other side’. By helping individuals process, mourn, accept and strategically move forward, I’ve witnessed many of my Redundancy clients secure new roles, with confidence, with purpose, far sooner than they felt they would without this support.
Why Engage in Coaching?
Our brains house our mindset, our experiences, emotions, internal narrative and unconscious influences. We wouldn’t expect our physical health to improve without some sweat, and it’s the same for our minds.
Coaching is a non-judgemental, supportive forum that forces you to finish off the thoughts that are hard to conclude.
Coaching asks powerful questions; ones nobody else will ask.
Coaching guides your thinking, helping raise your awareness of your blockers.
Inviting an external party to the tangle of thoughts, ideas and responsbilities enables you to move forward with clarity, purpose and an energy that, too often, we struggle to find alone.
Your Coach becomes your sounding board, your motivator, your reflection and your accountability partner
My Coaching Style
Thought-provoking: I’ll challenge your thinking and inspire new perspectives
Supportive: You’ll have a safe and nurturing space to explore your feelings and beliefs – zero judgement, a very open and inclusive forum
Immersive: I get right into your problems with you, bring an outsider’s perspective in instantly, with authenticity and empathy
Innovative: I’m a creative thinker, a simplifier, and a great problem-solver
Empowering: I’ll equip you with the understanding, tools, and confidence to boldly wade forward into achieving your goals – I’ll help you do you.
Unique: I champion “Walk & Talk” sessions as I love to move, I love nature and my coaching clients testimonials inform how freeing this format is: escaping routine to fuel bigger thinking. (However, I adore a fresh coffee & a foliage-filled-cafe, and virtual is all good, so you choose!)
What does Coaching involve?
Coaching is a conversation, where you do most of the talking and your Coach does most of the listening.
Because when we think about things, we can too easily stop when it gets hard or there is an obstacle. Your Coach nudges you to continue the thinking, particularly at the hard points, enabling you to tackle unsconsious blockers or unhelpful beliefs, so that you come to solutions that won’t have been available in your solo rumination.
I will use Coaching exercises, tools and tasks, alongside my experience and intuition, to help you. With zero judgement, I will help you understand yourself.
I will ask questions, call out themes and reflect things back. This will unearth any deep-rooted mindset norms that could be pivotal in your path forward.
In our Coaching sessions we might explore:
- Your Strengths (what do people put your forward for in work or play?)
- Your Passions (what would your TED Talk be on?)
- Your Communication Style, Preferences & Needs (Giving vs receiving info? Visual, Auditory, Kinetic?)
- Your Joys (what makes you feel so entirely and excitedly you?)
- Your Goals (the unconscious ones, too)
- Your Blockers (are you even aware of some of them?)
My role as your Coach is to host, guide, inspire, challenge and support you. I will be there every step of the way, offering support, celebration and nudges!
You walk away feeling like a confident, clear & motivated version of yourself. You will believe you are FIERCELY CAPABLE.
My Signature Coaching Format is
Walk & Talk Coaching
Coaching with Neuroscience & Nature
Walking, outside, in nature, makes humans feel better and think optimally. The headline is simple: WALKING IN NATURE BOOSTS BRAIN ACTIVITY. That’s why, where I can, I take my Coaching outside!
- Physical movement boosts Circulation to our brain, firing up neurons for clearer thinking.
- Nature reduces stress levels, boosts dopamine and promotes mindfulness, leading to 60% boosted creativity (A Stanford Study, 2014).
- Nature boosts Proprioception; a sense of where we are in the world; necessary to get ‘out of the weeds’.
- Walking elevates heart rate, boosts energy and activates muscles.
- Walking outside boosts Vitamin D and provides vital natural light to balance natural Circadium Rhythmn.
- Being away from home/work stimuli facilitates expansive thinking.
Nature, walking, and coaching gives us literal space and permission, to think big.
It creates a sense of freedom, clarity, and a crystal clear view of priorities.
It can give a big spoonful of awe, too, depending on the views!
If you change nothing, nothing changes

Ready to Be Your Hype Girl
I am a person-led Coach, adaptable and intuitive. I will challenge you in a focused yet supportive way.
I bring empathy and experience. I’ve managed upwards, downwards and faced redundancy. I parent and work, I have my own business, and a brain that is sometimes a squirrel at a rave. I am ME, and I want you to be truly you!
All conversations are strictly confidential, and I am as non-judgemental as they come.
The improvements that come as a result of committed coaching layer up monumentally. A handful of expertly guided coaching conversations can literally change your life!
Feel free to read what my clients have said (if you google Kate Oates Elevate, it’ll be there).
I would love to help you.
What My Clients Say
Wow, what an uplifting and motivational session, talking and experiencing Kate’s wonderful coaching in nature through a walk and talk style session. I would highly recommend the walking! I felt relaxed and refreshed being able to discuss and experience coaching in nature and beautiful surroundings.
Throughout Kate was so positive and motivating, I felt at ease. She was really understanding and offered great questions to consider which were very thought-provoking.
I felt I made so much progress and from this session have now looked even if slowly to start with to prioritise ‘my life’ more from having the confidence to ask for a change in my work contract, discuss future career options and possibilities that will work better for mine and my partners life.
I really valued being able to walk and a talk.
I have a 1 year old so finding childcare for a sit down call would be impossible, but instead being able to walk and talk at a time when I knew the baby would be happy, allowed me to access coaching and fresh air at the same time.
All my best ideas, moments of clarity come when walking so it made sense to walk and talk rather than be distracted whilst trying to get the baby to be still…! And quiet!
