Welcome
About Powerful-Direction
Katy founded her consultancy and coaching business in 2023, after making the decision to step out of a full time employed executive position and instead focus on her own wellbeing and her two young children, finding a different direction in life; one of true purpose, balance and wellbeing. Prior to this, Katy spent 20 years leading and directing change programs, across the UK and Australia. She has designed, developed and operationalised suicide prevention services in Western Australia, she has led acute hospital operations within the NHS, she has directed a private healthcare company, she has worked with not for profit organisations to develop and implement their strategy and she has directed large scale acquisitions and mergers. She is a lived experience advocate for her local mental health NHS trust board and is an expert in natural rehabilitation. Katy has led NHS teams during the COVID-19  pandemic and now advises others on burnout prevention. Her lived experience of overcoming burnout, PTSD combined with her NLP, EFT, leadership, coaching for change and mentoring qualifications plus her 20 year career in leadership and business strategy is why she now consults to individuals and teams globally. Katy enjoys helping others to develop, to realise their full potential and growth. Optimum wellness and performance excellence are the foundations of Katy's consultancy business and the proof that you too can find the power within to change your direction and win at life.

 Katy is a personal friend whom I've always admired as a powerful businesswoman. I asked her if she could help me with my little business that's been running for 4 years. As we have never had a business plan we've just got on with it plodding along day by day! After having only 2 of 6 sessions with Katy, our heads are clear and we have a plan going forward. Just by Katy giving us a few tips & putting things into perspective for us, it all now makes sense. Thank you Katy!

 Katy really helped me to plan the day, dedicating time and energy to understand the objectives of the day and the brief. I couldn't have done it without her. She did a great job facilitating the whole day and then producing the follow up reports and recommendations for further team developments.

 After only two of the six sessions, on Katy's career mentoring program, I realised that I had been neglecting my personal wellbeing, and my time. Katy helped me to overcome my fear of spending time on my own & the feelings of guilt associated with taking the time out from parenting and work, that I needed for myself to focus on change.

 I came to Katy because she showed me that it is possible to change your career direction. After a 20 year career in government (NHS) and feeling burnt out, I now feel ready to make the jump and take a new direction. Thank you Katy for helping me to feel calmer, to be able to gain clarity and the energy to change. Katy gave me the tools and techniques that I lacked, to put my thinking into action. I feel like Katy is always there even from a distance, cheering me on to change and overcome burnout.

 It has been fantastic working with Katy for the last 6 weeks. I feel I have really learnt to understand myself, my strengths, talents and to ‘get to the centre of the onion’ as Katy put it. This has in turn boosted my confidence, allowed me to give myself the time and space to really focus on my wellbeing, identify things that may be making me stressed and put tools and strategies into place to manage these factors rather than suppressing them. Katy is friendly, approachable and has brilliant insight. She was able to identify quickly where I needed work and support and provided me with a bespoke package of tools to address this. I felt at all times that she was there with me every step of the way and I loved that she checked in regularly between sessions and gave me small tasks to complete before the next session. She went with my needs each session, using her excellent knowledge and drawing upon her own experiences to really make me feel at ease. Having just finished my last session today, I am now ready to begin work on my next career steps with clarity, focus and most of all confidence. I can’t thank Katy enough for helping me to untangle my thoughts and feelings and to guide me towards a clear pathway to a happier future.

Do you work with men?

Katy has supported both men and women from all walks of life. Inclusive of men who have found themselves within the prison system or within police custodial settings. Katy's model is able to support men whom have lost their purpose in life, and who have possibly found themselves experiencing low self esteem & poor mental wellbeing. Katy has first hand experience working within mental health services, and knows the importance of goal setting and re-focusing passion and purpose. Her mentorship sessions work alongside mainstream mental health services & the medical model, but her social enterprise ethos focuses on her program's holistic model towards optimum wellbeing and recovery. 

Do you provide support in between sessions?

Absolutely, yes. Powerful-Direction is set up with a wealth of resources and further studies. Katy offers her clients access to resources following their sessions with her, as well as in between sessions. After each session, Katy shares reading and listening (self development homework), for her mentees, dependent on their need, ability and interest. She has access to various platforms of books, podcasts, fellow mentors, fellow coaches, self-development networks and motivational music. 

Are your sessions a set price?

No. These are corporate rates. They are an indication dependent on affordability and environment. Powerful-Direction's ethos is to first and foremost help others and to compliment the mainstream NHS, social care and independent wellbeing wait lists. For individuals and not for profit charitable organisation's, Powerful-Direction's core values align with kindness and the desire to give back to local communities. Therefore, services are negotiable and are a guidance for individuals and organisation's to discuss with Katy at the point of initial consultation.

Alongside her business consultancy work, Katy also practices as a health and wellbeing practitioner, certified in trauma, recovery, NLP, EFT and physical fitness coaching. She has lived experience of recovery from addictions inclusive of excessive work and exercise- eating related disorders, PTSD, insomnia, stress and emotional burnout. Her life-long commitment to natural therapy is why she has overcome her own life challenges, and how she continues to face any future challenges. She does this because she has tried both avenues; the medication route, and the wellbeing route. The medication route only masked the problems, it did not allow Katy to face her inner trauma head on. The wellbeing route did & for the last 15 years she has found a great sense of purpose and peace through these natural practices. She has designed a wellbeing program that incorporates all aspects of wellbeing; mind, body and spirit. It is her life-long mission to raise awareness of the health risks associated with long term medication and substance misuse, as well as poor wellbeing i.e. lack of physical movement & a poor processed diet. Katy's program is designed to ensure that the whole self is taken into consideration to reach optimum wellbeing. She has helped individuals to overcome mental health challenges such as suicidal ideation, addictions, as well as low self esteem and panic attacks. She has helped individuals to overcome their fear of stepping out of their comfort zone and into the temporary pain zone for change. Katy has her own wellbeing Mentor, who has supported Katy on her own personal journey towards optimum wellbeing for the last 20 years, and Katy now wants to give back to others who need her experience and expertise.
