I’m Catherine Skinner – Feminist Coach, Author, & Trauma-Informed Advocate.
My mission is personal and professional: to help women like you and me leave fear behind and tap into the innate power and resilience we already have, so we can live the life we want and deserve.
More than coaching, this is a model I've built from the ground up, combining two decades of trauma-informed service development and research with a feminist and evidence-based approach. Women need a space that acknowledges the unique and complex challenges we face—from feeling safe and keeping careers on track, to managing health, family, and financial security.
The fear and self-doubt we carry are often not a personal failing; they are a direct and understandable response to systemic pressures. We need a different kind of coaching that goes beyond surface-level techniques.
Taking a lead from models like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we acknowledge negative thinking, but instead of dismissing it, we reality-check it against the real-life variables you navigate. We recognise that while a series of decisions and chance encounters brought you here, your ability to survive and adapt is your superpower.
You may not have as much control over external circumstances as you might like, but you have more power than you know over your life. My work is designed to help you access that power.
