Welcome to the Pen & Heal Podcast. I'm Javeria Fatima Zaidi, your host and guide on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
In today's episode, I have the pleasure of conversing with Kate, a psychotherapist in training and a life coach, whose story and insights are both inspiring and enlightening. Kate shares her transition from being a physics teacher to embracing the world of psychotherapy and life coaching, highlighting the challenges and triumphs along the way.
We dive deep into the nuances of therapy versus coaching, discussing the unique ways they cater to individual needs, especially for highly sensitive people. Kate's journey through motherhood, the creation of her Circle Sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and her approach to holistic healing offer a wealth of knowledge and understanding.
As an expressive writing life coach myself, I find our discussion about the role of writing in personal development particularly close to my heart. We explore how active listening and creating safe spaces can empower individuals to embrace their sensitivity and navigate life's transitions with grace.
Whether you're navigating a life transition, or just seeking inspiration, this episode is for you.
Join us in this heartfelt and insightful discussion, and don't forget to check out Kate's contact details and more information in the description below.
Kate runs women’s circles online and in South London. She also works one to one with clients looking to find som calm and compassion in their own lives. You can see her current services on her Instagram page: @the.circlesessions or www.thecirclesessions.co.uk

Join me, Javeria Fatima Zaidi, on the Pen&Heal Podcast, as we dive into an enlightening conversation with Sussi Louise Smith. Sussi Louise Smith is a Danish-born artist, poet and creative coach. She hails from a small fishing town in Denmark but moved deep into the Yorkshire Dales in 2015. Apart from the insane amount of rain and tragic lack of saltwater she suspects she’s part Selkie (or Kraken, if you ask the husband) she does love it there. Yorkshire humour is very Viking. Her colourful work expresses a unique fusion of sea, story and the everyday. Sussi shares her journey as a highly sensitive person, exploring the unique challenges and strengths that shape her life and work. Discover the intertwined paths of creativity and sensitivity, as Sussi discusses the importance of breathing, visualization, and writing in overcoming creative blocks and achieving emotional stability. Whether you're an artist, writer, or anyone seeking to balance sensitivity with personal aspirations, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to empower your journey.
