Christina is an impactful coach who has changed my approach, encouraging a more optimistic and positive mindset. Her coaching style, defined by a great sense of humour, punchiness, and a touch of cheekiness, is genuinely inspiring and makes every session very enjoyable. I highly recommend working with Christina to anyone seeking transformative and uplifting coaching experiences.

I wasn't seeking just any coach. I wanted someone who was sensitive yet strong, intelligent but deep, compassionate yet practical, intuitive yet able to exercise strong reason, soulful and creative with a warm heart. Did I find such a coach? Yes: Christina Patterson. With her deeply perceptive eye, sharp, erudite mind, intuitive sensitivity and mind-blowing capacity to articulate what had remained inchoate within me, she birthed transformation by offering remarkable insights. She can read the energy of your body and truly listens. By working with Christina, you will gain deeper insights into yourself.

I worked with Christina over a six month period while I was part of Zinc VC's venture building programme. Our coaching work together has been an incredibly impactful part of my entrepreneurial journey and provided a space for introspection, clarity and getting to the core of some big questions and decisions. I particularly valued Christina's skill in framing challenging questions and holding space for me to explore some big topics. I left every one of our sessions with a clear nugget of insight and an action / next step for myself. I would absolutely recommend Christina as a coach to others.

Christina brings a wealth of life and work experience to her coaching skill set which I particularly valued. In our six sessions, she helped me think differently about some current issues going on in my life, which supported me in making some key decisions and most importantly enacting these. I also really enjoyed her sense of humour. I can really recommend her as a coach.

I had reached the top of my profession; I had been in the same sector for over 20 years and was looking for a new challenge. I'd read Christina's book The Art of Not Falling Apart. I found it so inspiring that I contacted her, she became my coach and the rest is my empowering new history. I have now embarked on a completely different new career trajectory, through Christina's wise, thoughtful and empowering coaching. Christina has been a literal life changer.

Christina was utterly refreshing as a coach, direct and challenging yet compassionate and insightful. Her humour throughout the coaching was also really welcome. Christina was able to slow me down from racing thoughts to a more considered and well contained internal voice. She navigated me though some difficult decisions, I never felt judged but utterly championed throughout our sessions. As a trained coach and counsellor myself, and someone who has used coaching before, I would highly recommend Christina and be continually grateful for the insights I gained whilst working with her.

I spent my previous years being both a mentor and mentee, and it’s always something I advocate for. Last year I decided to explore having a coach and was lucky enough to have worked with Christina Patterson. Since 2021, I've been navigating life post-academia and a word that perfectly describes my experience so far is ‘transitions.’ Christina has been instrumental in providing me with the necessary support to allow me to find clarity in moments of uncertainty, with her enthusiasm, kindness and thoughtful nature.

If anyone is looking for a coach, I’d highly recommend her. She does team and group work, individual coaching and organisational coaching.
