Hello...
I'm Kathryn, a certified transformational coach, workshop facilitator, and mum of two small children. I’m passionate about empowering women to craft a career and life they love.
Through one-to-one coaching and workshop facilitation, I help women who are looking to make a change to increase their awareness, gain clarity on what they want, develop new perspectives and possibilities, realise their potential, and make decisions to take action with confidence.
As a mother, I understand the desire to have a fulfilling career with a work-life balance that fits around a family. With a background in leadership and marketing roles in the corporate world and as a qualified coach and experienced Personal Development workshop facilitator for Henley Business School, I'm passionate about empowering others to live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

I offer one-to-one career success and life design coaching and facilitate personal development workshops. I follow the ICF coaching code of ethics.

How I would describe myself:
As well as being highly perceptive, I am always curious for new ideas and insights and this allows me to ask relevant questions to challenge your thinking to help open up new possibilities. I aim to do this in an inspiring, empathetic, and engaging way. I would describe myself as an optimistic realist and am fascinated by the power of positive psychology.
How my clients describe me:
“Kathryn is authentic in her passion for helping you develop and conducts herself in an intelligent, humorous, and optimistic manner.”
“I was so impressed with Kathryn's professional but approachable attitude.”
“Kathryn is an attentive listener and asks pertinent questions to get you thinking. I particularly like Kathryn’s action-orientated style meaning that things actually happen.”
“Kathryn is empowering, compassionate, and wise. She has helped me believe in myself and my projects and owning my path.”
My coaching story:
K White Coaching was born from my desire to empower women to own their paths with confidence and to live a fulfilled, balanced, and happy life. It all started when I was introduced to the power of coaching in the corporate world over 10 years ago, but it wasn’t until I took a break from my marketing career to have my two children that I realised I wanted to make a career out of empowering others to craft a career and life they love.
After having children, my values changed and what I wanted from my career and from life was different. To understand what career path would best suit my values, strengths, experience and lifestyle, I undertook some career coaching myself and it was then that I decided to requalify as a certified coach and set-up K White Coaching.
Whilst qualifying for my diploma, I coached many people from different walks of life, and it was the mothers who gained a renewed sense of focus and confidence who inspired me the most.
Crafting a life I love...
As well as empowering women through coaching, for me, crafting a life I love is about the intentional use of my time, focus and energy. I love spending time and sharing experiences with my family and friends, including activities in nature, visiting new places, cooking, and exploring new places. I believe in the power of a morning routine, and I enjoy practicing yoga and meditation.
