Seeing Beyond The Story
A space to explore

What if there is more to you than the story you tell?

We can become very certain about who we are. We might be certain that there’s something wrong with us. That we're anxious. That we're depressed. That we're a bit broken. That we're different. That we're someone with low self-esteem. That something in our past has damaged us. That we'll never be OK.

And when we believe this is ‘who we are’, we can feel very stuck. It can all feel incredibly real.

Perhaps you've worked hard trying to change, understand or fix yourself.

But what if there is nothing wrong with you that needs fixing? What if there is more to you than the experience you’re caught up in?

Real conversations. Real questions. Real life.

When you've tried everything you can think of

We're still looking for somewhere to land.

Sometimes the things we do to feel better don't seem to help. We might know a lot about ourselves, understand why we feel the way we do, and have tried many techniques, strategies or therapies. We might be working hard to manage our thoughts and change how we feel, yet still it feels as though we’re treading water. We’re still looking for somewhere to land.

I'm not here to give you another technique. I'm interested in what happens when we stop trying so hard to fix our experience and become curious about what is already here.

A space to explore

We don't have to join the overwhelm.

When someone turns up completely overwhelmed or scared, I have realised that I don't have to join them there.

Perhaps the most important thing I bring to other people isn't a strategy, technique or solution. It's the state of presence I am in. I trust this space. I know that here I can stay grounded. I can listen. I can trust that something deeper — your own wisdom — can come through. Things previously hidden can become more visible.

And from this place, we can begin to see how life can look different from one moment to the next. Even though nothing has changed on the outside. Trusting in life. Trusting in our innate health. Trusting that there is more to us than the story we're caught up in.

This isn't about getting life right

We all forget.

I still get caught up in thinking. My children still get anxious, worry and forget. We all forget. We fall asleep inside familiar stories, sometimes for a long time.

And sometimes we notice. Something can be seen differently — not because we've fixed anything, but because we've remembered something that was already here.

Why I do this

I didn't discover a better way to fix my daughter. I simply discovered her.

My own journey began through the struggles I experienced with my daughter. I was trying desperately to find a way to fix what was happening. Eventually, I became exhausted by trying to make everything OK, and began to wonder whether I was looking in the wrong direction.

I was trying to change the waterfall. But I had forgotten about the pool.

Remembering that quiet pool within shifted how I could be with my daughter. She would always say, ‘You changed, Mum!’ I didn't need to have all the answers. I could sit beside her, listen, stay connected and leave space for her own knowing to come through.

Have a question?

Many of my conversations begin with a question someone has sent me.

Perhaps there's something you're struggling with. Perhaps you're simply curious.

You can send me your question, and I may explore it in a future conversation.

My story

There was more to me than the story I knew.

I didn't set out looking for any of this.

For most of my life, I thought I knew who I was. Kate. My history, my personality, my experiences, the things I liked and disliked, the things I was good at and the things I struggled with.

Then I had a moment in a café where everything fell into place. It was as though a veil had fallen away. Colours seemed vivid, everything had depth and aliveness, and I felt a oneness with life beyond my experience.

I hadn't been searching. I wasn't meditating or trying to make anything happen. But afterwards, something had changed.

I realised that I am not my story. Not my identity. Not my experience. I am so much more.

I sometimes describe what I recognised as a quiet pool beneath the noise of thought. A sense of being OK, of love and connection, of simply being here.

It's not something I'm trying to chase or recreate, and I don't think it makes me special. Other people describe something similar in different ways. I use words like presence, awareness and the quiet pool, but I'm not particularly interested in finding the perfect word for this. Words can only point towards it. Perhaps this reveals itself when we get curious. When we get quiet enough to notice what was already there.

Because once you have seen that there is something beyond the story, you can't quite unsee it. Of course, you can still get caught up in thought, worry and everyday life. But perhaps your relationship with it begins to change. Even when you forget, the knowing that there is more to you than your experience is still there.

When my daughter was struggling with anxiety, I tried to fix things. I searched for answers and tried to understand what was happening so I could find the thing that would make her OK. I became exhausted, and began to wonder whether I was looking in the wrong direction.

I was trying to change the waterfall. But I had forgotten about the pool.

Remembering that quiet pool within shifted how I could be with my daughter. She would always say, ‘You changed, Mum!’ I didn't need to have all the answers. I could sit beside her, listen, stay connected and leave space for her own knowing to come through.

Because if it exists in me, why wouldn't it exist in her?

What I offer now isn't a set of answers or techniques to fix you. It's a space to question the things we can come to believe about ourselves: I'm broken. I'm different. I'm anxious. I'm depressed. I'll never be OK. This is just who I am.

Is it?

What if we don't know? What if we get curious about some of the things we are so certain about? What if there's more to us than the story we've come to believe?

I don't know where this journey will take you. And I'm not going to pretend that I do.

What I can offer is a space to explore. A space where you don't have to arrive knowing what you're looking for. I can sit with you. I can listen. I can trust what I know without needing to know what comes next.

Kind words from people I've connected with

More reflections

Jay — “You are worth your weight in gold”

Gratitude for Kate's teachings. I would not be where I am today, were it not for you. I am keeping my eyes open and creating my own experience. I have said it before but it bears repeating. You changed my life. I will not forget that. I appreciate it beyond measure. You are worth your weight in gold.

— Jay

Garry — “You were born for this”

Hi Kate,

Lovely to hear from you.

I was taking a break from painting our bedroom and saw your email and randomly clicked on the last YouTube link where you share your awakening insights (the one about learning to ride a bike). To cut a long story short, I was enthralled by your reflections, your understandings and your description of finding that place of calm behind the clouds.

It’s by you sharing your reflections, that you are opening that same peaceful, knowing space in my own heart and we are seeing so much more and growing more peaceful and stronger.

You have helped me to really believe that all humans have been given this gift and we just need to listen with an open heart to find it.

This is a beautiful gift and one I know you will continue to share with others. You were born for this.

— Garry

Finding hope and a shift in perspective

Good morning Kate,

Thanks for your lovely reaffirming messages yesterday.

Please know that I am so grateful to have found you and, at last, I have found hope once again. I really connect with everything you are saying and I am finding it all incredibly helpful and thought provoking. I sense something imperceptible is “shifting” inside me and I think, and hope, that it is also helping to start to shift the thinking of Sue as well.

My favourite book when I was younger was called Synchronicity by Joseph Jaworski which, looking back, was all about “letting go”, listening to your intuition and waiting for the right people and opportunities to appear. The reason I mention this is because your emails do exactly that. You just seem to know, and say, the right things at the right time! It’s like you are reading my mind!

I feel I have a real understanding now, and watching your video allowed my own anxiety to lift as it just made so much sense. (I didn't even realise I had anxiety until I started this journey!) I have always been kept awake trying to figure out or fix situations.

I have only just started to realise I have been worrying about a future that does not exist. I think I have always done this, and to suddenly realise what I have been doing is so enlightening.

Kelly — “I don't have to overthink and work every situation out”

I know I'm not fully there yet but I do feel more relaxed, and feel I'm discovering something new and almost want to test it out in other situations, just the simple fact I don't have to overthink and work every situation out!! How strange I did not know this before! ☺️

— Kelly

“Your emails come like a breath of fresh air”

Thank you for your emails Kate, they come like a breath of fresh air.

Everything you say just makes so much sense, I can't quite explain it but it just changed everything, I just can't believe I wasn't thinking this way before. I guess I had gone through so many emotions during the last 10 months, at the start I was consumed by worry and panic, I have learnt so much along this journey with you, and am still open to understanding more.

I was just having a wobble this morning myself and started looking up CBT whilst at work, as Jenny seems so stuck, she wants to go out so much but is so obsessed with getting a panic attack and the feelings that come before it.

I feel in a much calmer place after reading your message. You are so right, when I go into worry too much, it does cause panic, I can't make decisions, I jump straight to the future, and listen to other people, their comments come as kindness, but it sometimes makes me worry more, it does make me realise though that how I react will have an effect on how Jenny feels, so I can see if I'm not worrying, she will feel calmer.

I really want to dive into it and have the full understanding. I feel so grateful to you, the time, openness and thought you put into the emails is amazing. I am going to let myself follow this path as it feels so right.

R — “I feel so much better”

Dear Kate,

I can't tell you how much what you have said has impacted me. I sought out an Eckhart Tolle video, but in all honesty, I loved the way you said it. Funnily enough it seems I can't properly tell anyone else either. I've tried to explain to my sister and to my close friend and they seem bemused but it's OK. I feel so much better.

— R

A parent — “Our exchanges are an illumination”

Dear Kate,

Your story chimed massively with my own. I’ve a teenage daughter who was labelled as selectively mute in 2019 after increasing levels of anxiety at school.

I recognise so much in your story about not allowing myself to get caught up in the drama – yet it still happens from time to time! I just watched your video and I would describe it as powerful and beautiful.

Our exchanges are an illumination, shining a light on our true selves.

“An awesome, compassionate, intuitive and complicated journey”

Since I got your message I have been thinking a lot about our special journey together and how it might also help others. It was, and still is, an awesome, compassionate, intuitive and complicated journey, but, at the same time, simple when we “let go and let God” (or the universe).

We will always be so grateful to have found you to walk with us and help lead us out of a very dark place where we kept going round in circles.

A husband’s reflection — “Breathing space for the first time in years”

After years of searching for answers about my wife's depression, we reached out to Kate in desperation.

She was so insightful, compassionate and understanding, and her messages and conversations gave us breathing space for the first time in years.

For years I thought I understood how my wife felt, but I was wrong. Kate helped me see that truly listening, with compassion and without judgement, was essential.

The problems didn't all magically disappear overnight. But slowly, we began to find more moments of clarity and peace, allowing answers to appear rather than struggling to control everything.

Conversations

A space to explore what might be beyond the story.

Perhaps you've spent years trying to understand yourself, change how you feel, or find a way out of familiar patterns of thinking.

You might be anxious, frightened, overwhelmed, or simply curious about the nature of who you are.

You don't need to arrive with the answers. You don't even need to know what you're looking for.

I'm interested in creating a space where we can pause, look at what you're experiencing, and become curious about what you might not yet have seen.

It's more than a conversation.

When we meet, I'll listen to what you're sharing. But the conversation doesn't end when we say goodbye.

In the space between our meetings, I continue to give what you've shared my attention. I sit with it, listen, and allow space for something else to come into view.

Sometimes I'll send you a message or a voice note — something I've noticed, or something that might be worth pondering before we meet again.

This space between conversations is an important part of the journey. It's not about collecting more ideas or finding another technique. It's about allowing the exploration to continue, and seeing what might unfold. What was perhaps previously hidden might become visible.

Beginning the journey

I offer an initial conversation, free of charge, so we can meet, talk about what's bringing you here, and see whether working together feels right.

The six-week journey — £600

This includes six conversations together, time and attention between conversations to reflect on what you've shared, and written messages or voice notes when there's something I feel would be helpful to share.

We'll agree together how to arrange our conversations, keeping the exploration alive throughout the six weeks.

Everyone is different. I can't tell you what you'll discover. What I can offer is my time, my attention, and a space in which we can explore together.

I work with a small number of people at a time so I can give each journey the attention it deserves.

Questions

Things you might be wondering.

Do I need to know anything about presence or awareness?

Not at all. You don't need to have read any books, explored spirituality, or know what any of these words mean. You can simply arrive as you are, with whatever is happening in your life.

What happens in a conversation?

We talk about what's happening for you. I'll listen, and we'll explore what you're experiencing and the things you might have come to believe about yourself. There's no set formula, and I won't be giving you a list of things you need to do to get life right. Sometimes a conversation opens up something new. Sometimes it takes time. We don't need to know in advance what will happen.

What happens between conversations?

This is an important part of the journey. I take time to reflect on what you've shared, giving it my attention away from our conversations. Sometimes something becomes clearer, or there's something I feel would be helpful to share with you. I might send you a written message or a voice note to ponder before we meet again. The exploration continues between conversations, rather than stopping when we say goodbye.

What if I'm very anxious or caught up in my thoughts?

You don't need to arrive feeling calm or clear-headed. You can come with the thoughts, worries and questions that are taking up so much of your attention. We can start wherever you are. I'm not here to tell you to stop thinking or give you another technique to manage your mind. I'm interested in exploring whether there might be more to you than what your thinking is telling you.

Do I need to be spiritual?

No. You don't need to hold any particular beliefs or adopt a spiritual understanding of life. I'm not interested in asking you to believe what I say. I'm interested in exploring together what you might discover for yourself. To see what might come alive for you.

What if I'm worried about my child or a loved one?

It's incredibly hard to watch someone we love struggle. You might feel frightened for them, desperate to help, or exhausted from trying to find a way through. I've experienced this myself. When my daughter was struggling, I spent a long time trying to find answers and work out how to make things better for her. What I began to see was that something could change when I found a different place within myself. I didn't need to have all the answers or find a way to fix her. I could be alongside her differently.

I've also walked alongside parents who were deeply worried about their children, and witnessed what can happen when something begins to shift for the parent. This isn't about blaming you for your child's struggles, or suggesting that everything depends on you. It's about having a space to explore what's happening for you, and what might become possible when you begin to see things differently. You don't have to know where to start. We can start with what's happening now.

How long do we work together?

I offer an initial conversation, free of charge, so we can meet and see whether working together feels right. If we decide to continue, we begin with a six-week journey, including six conversations and reflection and messages between meetings. We'll agree how best to arrange the conversations, keeping the exploration alive throughout the six weeks.

How much does it cost?

The six-week journey costs £600. This includes six conversations, my reflection between meetings, and written messages or voice notes when there's something I feel would be helpful to share.

What if I'm not sure this is right for me?

That's absolutely fine. You don't need to make a decision before we've spoken. The initial conversation is an opportunity for us to meet, talk about what's bringing you here, and see whether it feels right for both of us. There's no obligation to continue.

Still have a question?

You might have something specific on your mind, or perhaps there's something you'd like to explore that I haven't covered here. You're welcome to get in touch.
