Katharine Williams
I coach people from all walks of life, from all over the world. I have a background in theatre so I've got lots of understanding of freelancers, people in the creative industries, and those on fluctuating incomes.
My Background
I had been teaching emerging theatre professionals since 2017 about personal and professional finance, so when YNAB reached out to me to ask me if I was interested in becoming a Certified Coach, I jumped at the chance. It is a privilege to work with each person as they grow in confidence and agility about managing their money, using budgeting software, and planning for the future.
If you are a Profit First, Ramit Sethi or Ramsey fan: I'm familiar with all those approaches, too. Each of them works brilliantly with YNAB.
Why Work with Me
My coaching sessions are a safe space and a judgement-free zone! People come to financial coaches for a myriad of different reasons and for some of us that is at the end of a really long journey.
If you're excited about your finances and can't wait to start working with a coach: great! If you are embarrassed about your finances and want someone to walk beside you in the journey where it all changes for the better: rest assured, I've been coaching YNAB since 2021 and there is not much that I haven't seen!
Why I Coach
I coach because this stuff changes people's lives.
I grew up in a house where money was always spent twice before it arrived. I lived through my parents' bankruptcy and the effects of that still ripple through my family today. I started out as a freelancer with no knowledge of how to make my business viable.
I didn't get taught this stuff in school. I suspect that you probably didn't, either. It is never too late, not for anyone. Including you.
Thanks for reading. Give me a shout if you want to work together.
