Don't just take my word for it...
Inviting someone on your wild route takes trust. If we haven't met - or if we know each other but haven't coached together - here are a few words from clients I've had the opportunity to coach.

"Katy was great at listening to all of the context that I provided for my situation and asking questions that helped me realize the mindset in which I was approaching it. Her kind and nonjudgmental demeanour made me comfortable to open up about what I was working towards, and her guidance during the coaching process made it feel like she was on my team, supporting me."
RACHAEL, student at the end of undergrad"Working with Katy was helpful from the start. She listens closely and has a remarkable ability to ask meaningful questions that helped me uncover what really mattered beneath the many half‑formed thoughts I came in with. Katy was especially good at pulling themes together that helped me focus on what felt most pressing in this season of my life, turning a long list of concerns into a clear and manageable direction. I left our sessions with ideas and reflections to carry forward, which made the coaching feel practical, empowering, and useful for real‑life."
ELLIE, recent university grad, life in limbo, so many questions and wondering what's next"Katy was personable, knowledgable, solution-focused and extremely helpful in her coaching. I gained increased clarity about who I am, what I value and where I want to go next in my vocational journey. Katy combines keen insights with the ability to create a welcoming and safe environment in which to explore whatever you are focused on at any given point in your life. I highly recommend her coaching services."
DAVID, PhD student preparing for the job market"Working with Katy gave me clarity on what I truly value in career and education decisions, while helping me better understand how I think, organize my ideas, and approach new opportunities. Her adaptable, supportive style left me feeling grounded and refreshed after each session, and gave me confidence that proved invaluable in important moments like job interviews."
SARAH, out of school care program manager"Katy was exceptionally warm and so easy to talk to! She has an uncanny ability of helping you understand your thoughts and thought processes by asking key questions - which inevitably leads to valuable insights about your personal goals and priorities. I would recommend her to anyone who feels like they're at a crossroads but have no idea how or where to take next steps."
AMY, person stuck in a mid-career crisis"Working with Katy as a coach was a truly empowering experience. She has a remarkable ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions, and guide you toward clarity and confident action. The sessions unlock new perspectives and take meaningful steps forward on both personal and professional journey. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful guidance and lasting growth."
BASSEMA"Working with Katy in a one-on-one capacity as a part of a larger team coaching engagement was both enlightening and fun. Katy is a great listener and asks great questions to get at deeper issues that might be lurking under the surface. It was great to be able to talk through issues at the intersection of belonging to a leadership team and how those interact with my own, specific role in the organization. I would highly recommend working with Katy!"
BRIDGET, development manager (she/her)"Ms. Katy Der listens well, she is patient and tries to formulate a plan together to come to the best option possible under a given timeframe. The best part is, she accommodates humour, which I felt very comfortable."
