Hi! I’m Katya
I founded the Working Well Doctor with a single goal.
To empower you to thrive at home & work, however & wherever you work.
Here to Help You
Training
I have taught throughout my life, as a special-needs teaching assistant, through examining medical students and teaching GP trainees, to the Wellbeing Training I deliver today.
I can help you and your team develop with Wellbeing & Leadership Training - both online and face to face.
Career Coaching
It is a real privilege to be able to help you as you reflect on and navigate the next steps in your career.
Retreats
It is important to carve out time to step away and pause, to make headspace for the bigger decisions in life and work. So I run 1 day Recharge Retreats so you can do just that.
Our Core Principles
Good Work is Good For You
Good work makes you feel good and helps those around you.
There is dignity in work, as well as the pay, recognition, sense of purpose and enjoyment it can provide.
Most of us care deeply about our work and it is important that it feels right for us.
We Learn from Burnout
Despite having my fair share of knowledge and skills, I have had my own struggles in the past with Anxiety and Burnout.
I share my experiences so you can avoid some of the mistakes I made!
Permission is Key
It’s really important to care for yourself alongside all the caring you do for others. Read more here You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup, the Importance of Permission.
We Challenge Stigma
I found stigma was a real barrier to my recovery so I’m here to change all that - one conversation, training or coaching session at a time.
Compassion is Central
Through all this compassion is key, for ourselves, at work and those around us.
Stories can Heal
Stories connect us and help us make sense of the world. I run creative writing workshops and write a twice a month newsletter - Thrive Well News.
The inspiration for The Working Well Doctor came from my passion for us all to work well, and support our wellbeing…
It also evokes the metaphor of a well of water, which we draw on to refresh ourselves and bring a sense of calm...
