Meet your coach
Hello! I’m Kate Alexander, a certified Level 3 Transpersonal Coach with a Master from the ICF-accredited Coaching provider, Inner Key.
I’m also a certified Neurolanguage Coach and have been coaching in this field since 2023.
Since moving from Scotland to Spain in 2006, I’ve worked extensively in the English teaching profession. I’m a qualified TEFL instructor, Business English teacher, and online tutor, with broad experience supporting learners of all ages. This experience sparked my passion for helping people break through learning challenges and discover what truly motivates them – leading me to step into coaching.
On a personal level, I’ve spent many years—perhaps my entire life—on a path of self-awareness, working through fears, releasing limiting beliefs, and striving to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. The positive transformation I’ve experienced has motivated me to acquire techniques that can help others achieve similar growth.
With this mix of personal experience, powerful tools, and solid training, I offer a coaching space that’s warm, supportive, and grounded in a deep belief in your ability to reconnect with your inner wisdom, take charge of your life, break through what’s holding you back, and open up to everything life has to offer.
PALA
Why Pala?
Pala is a word full of depth. In Spanish, a pala is something you use to dig, to uncover what’s beneath the surface—just like in a process of self-discovery. It also means bat or paddle, and I love that image of ideas being batted back and forth, like in a good exchange—a rich, lively, and shared conversation.
PALA is also the name of the fictional island in Aldous Huxley’s novel The Island, which was the original inspiration behind the name. In Huxley’s Pala, life is built on ecological and ethical values, guided by both spirituality and reason, with the aim of creating the greatest good for the greatest number.
I lived on an island until I was nine years old, and I still treasure that time as an oasis of freedom, nature, and happiness. I continue to feel deeply connected to ecological living, to what’s essential, and to a spiritual way of seeing life. That vision touches something very deep in me and is what drives me to give the best of myself in the work I do every day.
My guarantee
I will be a committed and genuine ally in your process, accompanying you with honesty, presence, and integrity. Drawing on all the resources and experience at my disposal, I will support you in recognising your true potential, taking full ownership of your life experience, and working towards the goals that truly matter to you.
My Approach
All sessions are, of course, completely confidential and conducted in full alignment with the ICF ethical framework. More importantly, I offer a space of genuine acceptance and equality—where you’re free to explore your life circumstances and inner world without fear of judgment, assumptions, interpretations, or unsolicited advice. If I sense that another perspective might be helpful, I’ll only share it with your permission and always as something to consider, respecting your autonomy at all times.
A relationship
Coaching is a professional partnership that relies on honesty and openness from both sides. In your free initial session, we’ll explore whether your goals align well with the coaching process. If this is your first time experiencing coaching, it’s also a great opportunity to get a feel for how it works and see if we’re a good fit to work together..
A commitment
Transpersonal coaching is a meaningful process of transformation—it’s not about instant solutions, but about creating lasting, sustainable change. This kind of growth takes commitment and consistent effort. In our initial session, we’ll agree on a provisional timeline for working toward your goal, which will guide the initial phase of our coaching agreement.
