Who am I and why would you work with me?
My name is Catriona Futter, and I am a certified Life Coach and Christian Life Coach living in Glasgow, Scotland.
Over many years I have grown to understand and accept what it means for me to be me – not compare myself with others, or live a different life to the one I want to be living.
You are a unique and amazing individual, and you have a specific blend of strengths, skills, values, personality and experience.
My mission is to equip and empower you to understand and embrace who you are as that person. If you are seeking to live a more fulfilling life with clearer purpose and greater confidence, manage your life and time better, and gain more confidence and self awareness, I can help!
I am based in Glasgow, Scotland, and offer coaching sessions face to face (if local), by telephone or Zoom if you are further afield. You can find out how much coaching costs here.
Working with me, you will receive support, encouragement, and accountability to help you deal with areas such as –
- self confidence and self awareness that brings greater self acceptance
- living according to your own values, and creating boundaries
- work/life balance and time management
- negative self talk and self belief
- lack of purpose or times of transition and change
- stagnant or stale relationships – restoring connection and improving communication
- the challenges of self employment, and creating a mission statement
You can get a flavour of life coaching and the kinds of areas I work in by reading my weekly blog.
My blog is consistently ranked by Feedspot as one of the Top 20 Christian Life Coach blogs to follow, and one of the Top 100 Life Coach blogs on the web, much to my delight!

Before I became a Life Coach….
I worked within the NHS in Glasgow as a physiotherapist (physical therapist for those of you across the pond!) for over twenty years, and during that time came alongside countless people who suddenly found themselves facing illness or traumatic injury and the associated life change. I gained a wealth of experience:
- putting people at ease rapidly in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental place
- goal setting and developing internal motivation
- understanding and breaking learned behaviour patterns
- teaching and communicating
- understanding the connection between mind, body and soul
- helping people regain identity and self-worth.
I am enthusiastic, resourceful, and a gifted tactician, good at communicating, teaching and organising. I love to encourage, love to bring out the best in people, love to work with people to find a way through problems and challenges.
I have many roles – wife to a great, Godly man; mother to two gorgeous girls; general household cook, baker and administrator; sister, aunt, daughter and friend; active worshipper in my local church – but most importantly I am uniquely me, and excited about working as your life coach to equip you to celebrate being uniquely you!
As a certified life coach offering personal coaching, I work to a high standard of professionalism and ethical code of conduct, and ascribe to the Coaches Creed, as outlined here.
As a Christian, I agree with and ascribe to the statement of faith of the Biblical Coaching Alliance, which you can see here.
