One - to - One Coaching

Working one-to-one with a values-driven creative coach allows space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what really matters in both your work and personal life. Rather than focusing purely on outcomes or productivity, coaching helps you build confidence, clarity, and direction in a way that feels authentic. It’s a supportive, collaborative process designed to help you overcome blocks, deepen your self-awareness, and create meaningful, sustainable progress that aligns with your values, vision, and wellbeing.

  • "Cate encouraged me to look beyond the 'wall of no other choice' I was banging against. I feel liberated and lighter.”

    –  Leadership Programme participant

  • “Fantastic inputs on Values In Action (VIA) utilisation for both team & Frontline Leadership participants. 'Genius overlay' with CVF wheel & VIA symbols; really resonated & demystified the relevance . Golden Mean ; thank you so much!”

    – Steve Jackson, Performance Coach

  • “Thank you so much for that workshop, was incredibly insightful! One of the best sessions I have had in a long time. I think all our teams could really gain something from that session. It's made me reflect a lot on understanding people a bit more and not take things too personally “

    — Beth Creswell  

  • “Cate is a very energetic and engaging speaker with fantastic knowledge in colour profiling and how that translates into the workplace. After the session my delegates gave immediate positive praise for the session and commented Cate was the best speaker of the course. I would not hesitate to recommend Cate’s services.”

    – Richard Bazley, Manager for National Graduate Leadership Programme

  • "Coaching with Cate has significantly improved my emotional resilience and stress management. The nature of detective work – investigating violent crimes, dealing with victims and confronting moral dilemmas – can take a serious toll on mental health. Cate’s coaching has provided a confidential space to process these experiences, develop coping strategies and build emotional strength, ensuring I can maintain my peak performance without burnout.”

    — Former Counter Terrorism Fast Track clientere

  • “The sessions with Cate helped me to feel confident in tacking my new leadership role. I was very keen to support my new team and talking through that process with Cate really helped me to understand this new role and dynamic that I would now be in with my colleagues.”

    –  Melony Gannon, Physiotherapy Team Leader 

  • “As part of a leadership coaching program, I was recommended to Cate to work specifically on issues I had identified as challenges in my future promotion process. These focused on my own wellbeing: emotional resilience, establishing boundaries, and accepting my limitations. The mindset shifts as a result of ongoing coaching are even more obvious to me now and I can see how they will gradually take hold and become part of my arsenal to meet future promotion ambitions as well as balance within my working and personal lives.”

    –  Acting Police Sergeant, Metropolitan Police

  • “A key benefit of my coaching with Cate has been the leadership development and interpersonal skills development. Detectives can often work in teams, interact with diverse communities and collaborate with other law enforcement agencies. Coaching has helped me strengthen communication, conflict resolution and leadership abilities, which enables me to inspire the teams I work with, build trust with the public and navigate complex interpersonal dynamics effectively.”

  • "Cate really supported me with reflective thinking and considering what is important and relevant in relation to my career development/career boundaries. Overlapping these considerations with my wider life was key, considering how my career focused mentality interacts with, and comes into conflict with my social life and life outside of work.”

    – Former Counter Terrorism Fast Track client

  • “Coaching with Cate has made me reflect more on what is important to me, both in work and my wider life outside of work, considering what motivates me and why I am motivated in the specific ways I am, for the specific objectives I am. Since our sessions I have internally reflected more on what drives me and what I want from life outside of work which is a particularly important skill given the high intensity and stress levels of the job that I do.”

    – Former Counter Terrorism Fast Track client

  • “Cate Gunn is really good, never believed in coaching, she’s actually great, brought a lot of clarity to me and helped me recontextualise my thoughts.”

    —Fast track counter terrorism client

  • “Coaching was a huge benefit to me in adapting my skills from my professional sport background to fast track into the Detective Constable role within two years. I do not believe this transition would have been possible without coaching with Cate.”

    –  Former Trainee Detective

  • “Cate worked with me to identify where things were going wrong and how to access the support I needed. I built on sessions with Cate from just surviving in the role to progressing to a specialist department and goal setting for the future.”

    –  Former Trainee Detective

  • “Cate has helped me to identify my strengths and areas to develop, and how I can apply them to perform the role to the best of my ability.”

    –  Supervisor, NHS

  • "I (and others) took a lot from your session. Your delivery style was engaging, informative and easy to understand. I heard people talking the rest of the day about their colour profiles – it was lovely to see the interaction across people who don’t necessarily work together in their day-to-day.”

    – Cat Moughton, HR Manager

  • “Cate is a great listener, enabling you to understand your strengths when most people focus on weaknesses. Cate has kept me on track with my goals and helps me consider how I have progressed.”

    — Megan, former client

  • “Cate really tuned into what I needed to help me see and move forward whether it was looking at pictures and images to try and help me verbalise how I was feeling or using apps to help keep me on my coaching path and move forward from where I was. I honestly believe without Cate's positive and friendly coaching style I would not have made it through my training.”

    — Former DC

  • “Even if I started a coaching session crying uncontrollably by the end I knew what I had to do to move forward mentally, emotionally and physically, always ending the coaching session feeling uplifted and refocused.”

    —Former client

  • “Cate helped me work through my Character Strengths and which parts of my character I might not use as often and how I can develop these parts of my character and try to use them to elicit different responses. Allowing me to rely less on humour often used to deflect or hide from emotions. Cate coached me through different ways to approach difficult conversations and gave me confidence in my own strengths.”

    — Former Detective client

  • “Cate always gave me time and space to think of my own solutions, giving me confidence in my own thought processes and ways to deal with things. I want to say Cate's coaching has not just helped me inside of my work performance but in my personal life helping me create a better work life balance.”

    —Former Client

  • “ I felt Cate was knowledgeable in the leadership development field and she was able to provide me with constructive feedback. I took a lot from my time with Cate and still use many of the tools we discussed. She was an excellent coach and I would recommend her highly.”

    – Former client, NHS Team Leader 

  • “Thank you for the input you delivered and the great way you delivered it. I found it personally really beneficial, and you completely engaged the group. It really linked nicely to an earlier session where we had asked participants to consider their leadership styles and helped to set up some really good conversations in 121s. You will definitely have some people seeking out further sessions and it’s also raised some discussions around culture and awareness in policing around coaching which will feature as a further discussion.”

    —Denise Booth, Training Manager
