Kristin Gattens | Therapist & Performance Coach — Counsellor in Brighton, England

From our first online meeting, Kristin had a really lovely way of making me feel completely at ease and I immediately felt that she offered something different from other therapists I had worked with before. Even just looking at her website, you can tell how much knowledge, care, and effort she brings to her work—and this was reflected throughout our 1:1 sessions. Kristin is kind, supportive, funny, and incredibly good at understanding what I’m trying to say (even when I’m struggling to understand it myself)!! I decided to invest in her Targeted Upgrade Program, and these 10 sessions have been soooo good for me. As someone who used to lack confidence, experience constant repetitive negative thought patterns, and feel completely stuck in an awful job, the sessions gave me the tools not only to better understand why I was thinking the way I was, but also to actually change those thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. One of the things I loved most about this program are the follow-up emails Kristin sends after each session. They are detailed, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. She provides personalised insights, resources she has created herself, and practical homework that has really helped me shift my mindset and challenge these long standing negative thought patterns. I also really appreciate the flexibility going forward, now I can book sessions with her whenever I need support, without feeling pressured into weekly or fortnightly appointments. I could keep going with all the reasons why you should have Kristin as your therapist, I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough! Working with Kristin has truly been life changing for me :)

Working with Kristin over the past 12 weeks has been transformative. From the very beginning, she created a supportive, fun, and insightful space that allowed me to dig deep and better understand myself. Kristin helped me identify the “survival tactics” I’d been relying on, explore old beliefs, and rewrite the script. We worked on diminishing imposter syndrome, setting healthier work/life boundaries, and building self-confidence and courage. One of the most impactful parts of our work was learning to tune into the physical sensations that come with anxiety and rumination, which has been a game-changer in breaking old patterns. Kristin also encouraged me to practice the strategies we discussed in real-life situations. The changes I noticed were immediate and meaningful. Instead of feeling exhausted after a conference, I felt energized because I was able to be authentically me. Instead of feeling anxious or resentful about the demands in front of me, I now view challenges with excitement and energy. At its core, Kristin's 12-week coaching journey helped me to improve my relationship with myself, understand what drives me, and trust that I can show up authentically in all areas of my life. I truly can’t recommend Kristin enough -- she is a superhero, where compassion, a wicked sense of humor, and wisdom are her super powers.

I am beyond grateful to have Kristin in my life. She has coached and guided me through some of the most difficult challenges I have faced. She thought me how to realign and begun my healing journey with me. I am forever grateful and blessed to have her guidance.

Kristin has been a life savior for me. She is a one of a kind human with a warm heart and incredibly talented in the work she does with people. I’ve worked with many therapists over the last decade on and off but no one comes close to my experience with Kristin. She possesses the qualities I need in a therapist with her deep care, ability to hold up the mirror with honesty, providing a multitude of tactics with a logical and spiritual balance that are easy to implement. We started working together last year when I was going through some really challenging life experiences and I don’t know how I would’ve navigated through them without Kristin. I did the soul plan reading with her, one on one counseling and couples counseling. I’ve learned and grown so much because of the work I’ve done with her and it’s only just begun. I’m so grateful to have her as a resource and I couldn’t recommend her more!

I’ve been working with Kristen for nearly a year now. The results have been nothing less than exceptional. Truly life changing sessions that have held me accountable to keep showing up and apply the practices taught. I tried for years to dive into therapy and never found someone that I could connect with deeply or that stuck. I think of Kristen as a high-level performance therapist. If you are tired of working with a practitioner that never gets you excited to implement change, or hold your feet to the fire to actually do the work. Then book with Kristen asap and watch your life pivot in the best way. Thanks for all that you do!

I'm so grateful I found Kristin! She has been an invaluable part of my healing journey over the past few years. She is extremely warm & supportive but also holds me accountable and gives me real-talk when I need it. I always leave my sessions with her feeling inspired and motivated. She's also just such a great laugh :)

I am not being paid to say this and rarely leave google reviews, but Kristin is the best coach I have had the pleasure of working with. She is unique in her approach and has certainly helped me on so many levels with business and personal growth - and I have seen tangible results. For me she always asks the right thought provoking questions so I come to my own realisation in order to move forward positively (and with confidence). Thank you K....

Kristin has been absolutely incredible over the last few months. Chatting to Kristin is like catching up with a friend who knows exactly what to say, and you can off load to without any guilt! You’re then left with clarity and actionable tasks to move forward. Couldn’t recommend any higher.

I cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. She really is a fantastic life coach and I love her integration of spirituality. She is completely non-judgement and very down to earth and as an empowered women myself, I really felt like Kristin ‘got me’. The soul plan reading she did was super helpful for discovering my overall life purpose, while also identifying potential obstacles. Kristin explains things so logically with such sound reasoning, it makes you wonder how it wasn’t obvious before. She really is inspirational, kind and wise beyond her years.

Kristin has an amazing gift to not only get to the root of issues fast, but to provide insight and actionable steps to overcoming internal blocks to achieving your dreams. In less than 2 months of working with her, I already feel like I've made more progress than I have in years of therapy in terms of uncovering my own blocks to love and success. In our brief consultation session I felt she instantly understood me, and each session we have leaves me feeling supported and inspired. Kristin also goes above and beyond, sending helpful links and videos in between sessions that she knows will provide additional guidance. I feel so grateful that she has come into my life at a time when I needed a teacher, coach and friend to help guide me on my journey. I can't recommend this beautiful soul enough.
