About Me

Hi! I am Katie Poole, Life Coach, Psychotherapist and Consultant.

As a Life Coach, I draw on thirty years experience in coaching, consulting and counseling to be your advocate and guide in your search for the life that you love.

Who doesn't need someone to talk to during a time of change or transition?

I have been a psychotherapist since I was a kid. Just kidding - but I was certainly the empathetic listener for my school friends. I still am. People describe me as easy to talk to and I love people's stories. I am known for asking questions that people really want and need to answer. I am known for saying things that stick with people, and move them toward their goals.

The truth is I have been a licensed therapist for most of my adult life. I have my Masters in Social Work and my life coach training with ILCT, an International Coaching Federation accredited program. I have worked in community mental health, in-patient mental health, geriatrics, hospice, hospital-based crisis care to mention a few. My expertise took me to Sri Lanka to do post-tsunami bereavement work. For many years, I have had a private counseling practice as a family therapist, applying the lens of Bowen Family Systems to the important life relationships of my clients.

Unfortunately Psychotherapy Services are limited to people in the mental health system. Professional Life Coaching allows me to offer the benefits of authentic conversation and deep questions to many more people. I always said the conversations I had in my counseling office would benefit all of us. I even tried them out on my family when they would let me but it didn't always work. "Mom! Stop talking to me like a therapist!"

But seriously, who doesn't need someone to talk at times? We don't need the mental health model much of the time and yet who better to talk to than a neutral, highly trained, intuitive listener who can make all the difference- a guide who can ask the right questions and hold us accountable for change?

You are entitled to have a future that makes you really happy.

I look forward to joining you on your journey to the future.
