Katherine Proffitt

My name is Kat, I'm a qualified coach, specialising in grief and loss, and relationships coaching. 

I worked for ten years as a nurse, specialising in women’s health and early pregnancy. I completed an MSc in Nursing in which I investigated the language facilities available for non-English speaking women experiencing miscarriage in the UK, and found myself working in research, wards, a specialist early pregnancy unit, and education. With the support of a workplace coach, however, I realised something was missing and I wasn’t living life in line with my values and dreams. I knew I loved my speciality, and I knew I cared deeply for the people I supported, but I needed something else. I needed to become a Coach.

I had seen the benefits myself, and so embarked on my coaching training with The Coaching Academy. I knew language could make a real difference to our experiences of life and loss, and through combining my nursing, coaching, and language teaching skills, Lost Words was established.

As your Coach, I know that the journey you’re about to embark on may be daunting, but I promise I will harness the strengths I’ve gained through personal and professional experience to ensure you have a safe space to feel, express your needs, and live the future you want. 

I am passionate about people, and I believe we can all reach our highest potential with the right support. As your Coach, I am truly invested in your well-being and progress. I will support you to find the words to own your losses, live life alongside your grief, discover your strengths and your identity, and rebuild relationships where communication has broken down.

I know that finding support after grief is difficult, and I want to help where I can, so let's discuss how we can make this happen. If the above fees do not feel accessible to you, please don't let that put you off.
