Meet Kathy Shaw
Hello, I'm Kathy.
I'm a Registered Nurse, Professional Supervisor, Leadership Coach, and Workplace Wellbeing Consultant with more than 40 years of experience supporting people in high-pressure environments.
Throughout my career, I've worked alongside healthcare professionals, leaders, and teams who are deeply committed to making a difference. I've seen first-hand the impact that stress, burnout, and constant responsibility can have, not only on individuals, but on workplace culture, leadership, and performance.
That's why I founded Kathy Shaw Coaching.
My mission is to help organisations create workplaces where people can perform at their best without sacrificing their wellbeing.
I bring together extensive clinical experience, evidence-based coaching, nervous system regulation, and practical wellbeing strategies to help leaders build resilience, strengthen self-awareness, navigate change, and create healthier, more sustainable teams.
Whether I'm working one-on-one with a leader, facilitating professional supervision, delivering workplace wellbeing programmes, or speaking to organisations, my approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in real-world experience.
I believe that wellbeing and high performance are not competing priorities; they are inseparable. When people feel supported, connected, and equipped with the right tools, they make better decisions, communicate more effectively, lead with greater confidence, and create workplaces where others can thrive.
My goal is simple: to help leaders and teams perform well without burning out.
Throughout my healthcare career, I've worked in demanding clinical, leadership, education, and quality improvement roles while also navigating the realities of family life and building my own business. I understand what it feels like to carry significant responsibility, support others through difficult times, and still be expected to perform at a high level.
Those experiences, combined with more than 35 years in healthcare and years of professional coaching and supervision, have shaped the way I work today. I know that sustainable performance isn't about working harder; it's about developing the self-awareness, resilience, boundaries, and practical strategies that allow people to thrive over the long term.
I have a particular passion for supporting healthcare professionals, leaders, and caring professions, but the challenges of stress, burnout, and leadership are not unique to healthcare. I now partner with organisations across a range of sectors to help leaders build resilient teams, create psychologically healthy workplaces, and support people to perform well without sacrificing their wellbeing.
I believe everyone deserves a workplace where they feel supported, valued, and equipped to do their best work. Through professional supervision, leadership coaching, and workplace wellbeing programmes, I help individuals and organisations turn that vision into reality.
Compassion, Commitment, Flexibility, Peace and Curiosity
