Coaching Psychologist: Trauma-Informed Leadership

Kate Brassington

Coaching Psychologist: Trauma-Informed Leadership

Kate Brassington is a Coaching Psychologist and Trauma-Informed Leadership Coach. Listed as one of the Top 10 professional coaches in Luxembourg by The For Better Institute, she coaches people all over the world from her attic zoom room. She helps leaders learn to withstand high pressure environments, while sustainably producing great results. Her mission is to help people get the buzz without the burnout.

Trauma doesn’t discriminate by career title or social status, and neither does Kate. Her clients have faced combat trauma, first responder trauma, burnout, compassion fatigue, executive stress, leadership issues, career crisis, entrepreneur struggles, ageing, coming to terms with Neuro-Diversity diagnoses, gender identity, or working their way through personal or family health issues, loss, and bereavement.

People think these conversations are difficult; Kate shows you how it doesn’t have to be. Her clients regularly comment how surprised they are at how much fun they have, even when dealing with heavy stuff.

She’s also a speaker, both in person and online, helping leaders understand what trauma is. Spoiler alert, it is actually all around us. She will show you the power of trauma-informed leadership for business results.

There is no blue-print (yet) for trauma-informed leadership coaches, so Kate has continued beyond her MSc as both researcher and practitioner, to help other cutting-edge pioneers develop and build this exciting and emerging field of psychology.

Above all this, Kate loves helping people ease suffering and get the fun back.
