Traditional coaching is a process in which a coach helps individuals to identify their goals, overcome obstacles, and make positive changes in their lives. Feminist coaching provides the answers for why you haven't been able to overcome obstacles already, helps you to get clarity on how your goals can match your abilities and gives you the framework to get there and stay on track.
In a life coaching session, you can expect to discuss your goals, challenges, and strategies for overcoming obstacles. Your coach will provide guidance, support, and accountability to help you achieve your goals. With Feminist Coaching you will explore what is blocking you and how you can overcome it with an evidence-based approach. This model is rooted in CBT by identifying negative thoughts and belief systems, what's different is the validation that these thoughts are a safety mechanism dealing with an unequal and discriminatory world. If we want to make meaningful change in our lives we need to rise to meet those challenges.
Unlike life coaching, Feminist Coaching is flexible and tailored to your needs and timeline. Instead of rigid programmes you can choose how you want it to work. Weekly sessions are recommended to create a foundation and routine for yourself. If you miss a session or have another commitment, I understand. Life often gets in the way, but we also want to make sure you prioritise your practice as part of your own self-care, so it's important to set the intention to show up for yourself.
Each session costs £100. This is not a small amount, but it is also an investment in the most important person in your life: you. It can be daunting to make the commitment and to invest when you have to meet all the day-to-day costs of your own, especially if you're supporting a family. I don't take this lightly and neither do you. Your time is the most valuable resource you have and right now too many of us are losing it on the wrong path. We are caught up in trying to control all the small things. Feminist Coaching will navigate you back towards your purpose and potential, with compassion, stability and real-life evidence.
To get started you can book a free Discovery Session to find out if Feminist Coaching is right for you. All sessions are a full hour, not 50 minutes.
If you want to arrange weekly sessions you can pay monthly and reduce the cost to £350 per month. Otherwise you can pay for sessions as and when you need them for £100 each. If you don't feel ready for coaching, you can join The Feminist Rage Agency for less than the price of a session and access support online.

About Catherine Skinner
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.
