Hi! I'm Katie

Coaching Psychology & Peer Support for mental wellbeing - perinatal and beyond.
I built Finds Herself because I needed it, and couldn't find it. I know this territory — not just from training, but from having lived it, and from the years I have spent sitting alongside other women as they navigate it too. That combination is at the heart of everything I offer. I understand the vulnerability in reaching out. I understand what it feels like to not have the words for what is wrong. And I understand the quiet resilience it takes to share your experience aloud. What I want to offer you is the space I was looking for, compassionate, boundaried, non-judgemental, and shaped by both professional knowledge and real human understanding.
I hold an MSc in Psychology and am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS), and also the Division of Coaching Psychology. My practice is underpinned by the latest psychological research, theory, and evidence. I am 'With-You' AIM-accredited in Peer Support — an evidence-based approach to perinatal mental wellbeing that is compassionate, safe, and person-centred.
I volunteer with PANDAS Foundation across several services, including as a community facilitator, with training spanning safeguarding, birth trauma, family dynamics, self-harm, culturally and faith-sensitive care, baby loss awareness, and suicide awareness. I also contribute to Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) within perinatal mental health research — work that keeps me connected to the systemic realities facing the women I support. I hold a current DBS and maintain ongoing CPD. The space I offer is confidential, non-judgemental, and always led by you.

A practice built from experience

I am grateful to be building a practice that brings together my training, scholarship, professional and lived experience, and systemic understanding.
Knowledge sharing & Safety
I believe perinatal mental wellbeing is not a niche or neatly defined category. It is a long layered, deeply personal journey, shaped by your history, your relationships, your body, your circumstances, and the particular season of life you find yourself in. Good support must reflect that complexity.
Listening & Compassion
There is no shame here, and nothing has gone wrong with you. The work of Finds Herself is to say it plainly, so you don’t have to carry it quietly.
