I'm Kate May — a hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, life coach and loneliness support specialist based in Cheltenham. I work with people online and in person who feel disconnected, invisible or quietly alone in their own lives.

But before I tell you what I do, here's who I am.

I'm a mum and a nan. The eldest of five siblings. I spent nearly 40 years in a male-dominated environment, watching people run themselves into the ground. Overworked, stressed, tired of simply existing. I saw what happens when people lose connection with themselves and everyone around them.

And I know what it feels like from the inside too.

In 2012, I went into rehab. I say that because it matters. I know what rock bottom feels like. I know the shame, the isolation, the quiet desperation of thinking this is just how things are now.

I've been clean since then. I did the work, I studied, qualified, learned what actually helps. What I discovered, from my own life and years of working with clients, is that most of what people really struggle with is loneliness.

That's what I help them work on, because I know it's fixable. I've watched people fix it who came to me convinced they were too far gone.

They weren't and neither are you.

I'm here when you're ready.
