It's about coming together, supporting one another, and unleashing our full potential as a collective.

-
Are sessions recorded?All of our signature content is available to view on demand, along with your workbook, resources, and other webinars. The live coaching sessions are not recorded but are available each Wednesday at 8pm BST/GMT. Weekly journalling and meditation sessions are shared in the group WhatsApp chat, and a bank of meditations are available.
-
Is there any 1:1 work?All sessions will be in groups and often smaller breakouts. Groups can be extremely powerful and enable you to share wins with your peers, learn from the insights of others and move forward together. We do offer 1:1 at an additional investment, get in touch if you'd like to discuss this as an option.
-
Will my practice or workplace count this as CPD?Many of our previous Vet Empowered graduates have had this paid for by their employer in the UK. This is a discussion to have with your team. Remember, you are responsible for logging and reflecting on your hours for the RCVS via 1CPD. Many people find it helpful to show them this PDF if you wish to show them further information. You can learn more about what counts as CPD on the RCVS Website.
-
I already completed the 12 week Vet Empowered course, is this for me?You can 100% join back in and re-engage. We remember each and every one of you, so if you'd like to come back in and have longer with us, access to group sessions and to see our most up to date signature content, please dive in. If you haven't heard from us already, drop an email to hello@vetempowered.com as we'd love to offer you a discount.

Can I find out more about the coaches?You can find out about the team here. As we grow, we have a number of support coaches who are a part of Vet Empowered to help you to get the most out of the programme.
-
Can I read more testimonials?Absolutely, we have lots of testimonials and aspects of feedback that our previous graduates have given. You can read them here.
-
Is this online or in-person?This is run online via content on the Teachable platform and via Zoom (you'll receive the links inside the online course and reminders on WhatsApp).
-
Will I be able to ask questions along the way?You have access every Wednesday to a coaching session with our founders and coaches, so please do! You can also drop these into the WhatsApp group so we can collate them ready to ask at the next session.
-
Can my practice pay directly for this?Yes, Vet Empowered can invoice your practice directly; we are set up as a supplier at many of the large veterinary corporations.

I'm not sure whether to choose this programme or 1:1 coaching...🌟 That's a great question! The answer depends on your specific needs and preferences. Our group coaching program offers a unique and powerful experience where you'll benefit from the collective wisdom, support, and camaraderie of like-minded veterinary professionals on a similar path. It's a transformative space that fosters growth, connection, and accountability. On the other hand, if you want to dive deeper into your individual challenges and goals, our 1:1 coaching might be the perfect fit for you. We can discuss your options further during a chat or email exchange. Let's find the best path forward together! 🙌 Fill out the application form or drop us an email hello@vetempowered.com.

I'm not sure whether I need a coaching programme like this, or therapy, help!We understand that it can be challenging to differentiate between coaching and therapy, and always remember you don't have to do that alone. While therapy focuses on addressing deep-rooted emotional issues and past traumas, coaching is more future-oriented, helping you set goals, develop new skills, and achieve personal and professional growth. If you're looking to enhance your self-awareness, improve specific areas of your life, or gain clarity and support in reaching your goals, our coaching programme is designed to empower you. However, if you believe that unresolved emotional issues require therapeutic intervention, we recommend seeking the guidance of a qualified therapist. It's essential to choose the path that aligns best with your needs and goals for personal development. Therapists can be found via the BACP website, or often many workplaces have them available via Employee Assistance Programmes. If you're unsure, fill out the application form with details and we are more than happy to explore further. You'll also find many therapists will offer free initial chats to explain your circumstances. Don't forget, Vetlife are available 24/7 for the UK veterinary profession too.

I'm under the care of a mental health professional, therapist or counsellor right now, can I still do this?If you are under the care of a mental health professional and wish to sign up for the Vet Empowered Signature Programme, you must discuss this with them. Sometimes coaching and therapy can run concurrently, and sometimes it is better to wait. It is the responsibility of the attendee to ensure this is a good fit for them by liasing with their medical team. We are always happy to chat through individual circumstances, get in touch hello@vetempowered.com.

Pssst... is this just for women?Other than our members being a part of the veterinary and animal health related sectors, we don't limit who can join us by their characteristics. All ages, stages, genders, races, brain types, job titles are welcome - we'd suggest more if you like our vibe, jump in. Men have come through our programmes previously, and we'd welcome non-binary individuals too; we do admit that 90% have been women to date, which may also reflect the ratios in more recent years at vet schools. We also appreciate that our branding might not be for everyone, that's ok too. Heck, if you're interested in coaching and you don't like our vibe (which is absolutely fine, we never dull down who we are), we know plenty of coaches within the veterinary space and beyond - we'd still be more than happy to connect you with someone if what we do doesn't feel right.
-
What is your stance on diversity and inclusion?Vet Empowered is committed to ensuring that the programme will be open and transparent, and that no individual or group receives less favourable treatment by virtue of age, disability, economic status, faith, gender, marital status, sexuality, race, colour, and nationality, ethnic or national origin. ❤️
-
I consider myself neurodivergent, is this for me?First of all, we hear you and we welcome you. Some of the members of our team are neurodivergent, and at Vet Empowered we are very much about finding ways that work for you as an individual, rather than being prescriptive. We have had multiple neurodivergent individuals come through the programme previously and they fed back how much they appreciated our flexibility in approach. We always want to make communication and collaboration a two way thing so that we can ensure we are helping you in the best way possible. We are happy for individuals to keep cameras off when they're not speaking if they're more comfortable, we suggest alternatives to traditional meditations and exercises as needed, and welcome you onto the call however you are comfortable. Katie has an ADHD Awareness Certificate, but in full transparency our coaching certifications and trainings were not specific to the area of neurodivergence. If you're looking for a course that is specific to a certain type of brain, this likely isn't the course for you. If you're looking for a veterinary specific coaching experience that welcomes different brain types and is happy to liaise with you along the way, we may well be the place for you! We are all about stepping past the societal expectations of how things 'should' be, and figuring out what works for you with compassion - this lends itself well to many neurodivergent brains.
-
I'm worried about the group element, what if I know someone?We totally get your concern about knowing someone in the group or sharing in front of othes. But guess what? It's actually one of the best parts! 🙌🏼 Our coaching program creates a tight-knit, supportive community where everyone is on the same wavelength. And don't worry, we've got your back when it comes to privacy and confidentiality. 🤐 We make sure that the group environment is a safe space where you can freely express yourself without any judgement. Many of our participants rave about the amazing connections and friendships they've formed with like-minded individuals. So, embrace the opportunity to share experiences, grow together, and have a blast on this transformative journey! 💫
-
I'm from outside of the UK, can I still join in?We welcome attendees throughout the world, two things to consider: Our group coaching calls are currently on Wednesdays at 8pm GMT/BST, which may not work out globally. If you're interested in the programme then please fill out the application form and we may well consider an additional timezone! We are currently not RACE accredited, but again, if there is the demand then we will consider this. Our investments are in GBP, so please calculate this in your home currency. If you have specific questions, please email hello@vetempowered.com.

What is your refund policy?At Vet Empowered, we are committed to providing a valuable and transformative experience through our Signature Group Programme. Once the programme has commenced and content has been accessed, we do not offer refunds. However, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, preventing participants from fully engaging in the programme. In such cases, we will assess requests for extended access on a case-by-case basis. We strive to be flexible and accommodating, taking into consideration individual circumstances and ensuring fairness. Please reach out to our support team at hello@vetempowered.com if you require further assistance or have any questions regarding our refund policy.❤️
