Hey! I’m Cat,

I’m a burnout coach for founders and leaders. I help people find sustainable success in demanding, high-stakes environments, without sacrificing themselves to get there.

If you’re struggling, burning out, overwhelmed or feel like there’s too much stress in your world, I can help.


“CAT SAVED MY BUSINESS!!! I was really struggling with my co-founder leaving in the early stages of my company, and when all was looking lost, a single conversation with Cat turned my situation around.  She spoke from experience and personally guided me through an extremely difficult situation which I can't thank her enough for.  Her openness, guidance and un-relenting support spurred me on to the point where I am now on track to secure £2m in funding, none-of-which would have been possible without her.  I wouldn't be where I am without Cat's support.”

You’re not alone.

I know the struggle of leading a team & business. On the outside you can look perfectly fine, but inside you might be overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, struggling with imposter syndrome or completely running on empty.

I've been there. I worked my way up the top of the career ladder in games, tech & creative industries. I’ve been a founder, CEO, CTO and CPO. I’ve built startups, shipped products to millions of users worldwide and secured 7-figure funding twice.

I did all of this while surviving 3 big burnouts, wrestling with imposter syndrome and later discovering I ‘m neurodivergent (ADHD diagnosis at 41).

I know exactly what it feels like to be overwhelmed, lost and like you’re the only one who feels this way.

Now I use everything I’ve learned; the lessons, research, the tools, to help other people prevent and recover from burnout.

I am passionate about sustainable success, not hustle.

You don't need to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm.
