Hi, I am Katherine. It’s great to meet you!
Over the last 18 years I’ve coached hundreds of people, enjoying all different aspects of our brilliant sport, of all ages and abilites to reach their climbing dreams.
My skills, taken from a lifetime climbing and many years coaching, lie in my ability to work holistically, taking into account everything that contributes to your climbing: your physical skills, technique, tactics and mental approach and life! It all plays a part.
I am fascinated by people and their motivations for climbing. As a coach, when I can understand you as a person, what makes you tick, your motivations and goals, together we can unlock your potential.

What people say…
“The course has made big impact on my climbing right from the beginning.
During the course I was able to identify various elements that were feeding my fear of falling. Katherine’s holistic approach to climbing and all the course content helped me become more mindful. I am now on regular basis practising what I have learnt and implementing the tools that help me to climb in more relaxed and focused way!”

“I've had sessions with Katherine for a few years now and each one has been amazing and I have learnt something new every time.
It feels as though I benefit from Katherine's calm and methodical approach which is different to a lot of my other climbing which can be quite pressured. I think Katherine just has a different way of getting the best out of me and I love applying myself to the different style of climbing I find outdoors and also taking in a lot about the history of it all. I've had some brilliant days and always look forward to them!”

“Had a fairly magical day recently…
… flashing both Tippler Direct (E3) and Wuthering (E2). This would definitely not have been possible without your help, so thanks again”
Tor, Trad climber
“I’ve only had 2 lead climbing sessions since we met but they were 2 of the most enjoyable sessions for a long time.
Felt very relaxed & good in my body and noticed myself focusing on what the next move was rather than how long to the next clip. So far it feels like a massive improvement and I’m looking forward to getting back on the wall and keep practicing and experimenting.

A fear of falling in climbing is evolutionary natural. It may not be something everyone admits to, but I can assume you the vast majority of climbers struggle with this. It’s quite normal and it’s absolutely not related to climbing grade. The following 5 reasons came out of a survey I did on instagram.
