Get in touch for your lifechanging experience with me. I work 4 days a week with clients and can be flexible to fit with your requirements, so always feel free to get in touch and I can't wait to hear from you.
Kate works from her home just outside Whitchurch in St Mary Bourne, in the beautiful Bourne Valley and has achieved HoC's coveted 'Star Consultant' award each year since starting up her franchise in 2003, she is one of the top consultants in the country.
My studio is light and airy so just perfect for colour analysis with velux windows allowing as much natural light in as possible. Its full of colour and make-up samples for you to try during your consultations and the kettle is always on.
A Tranquil Place of Discovery
My fabulous main services are shown below, but get in touch if you have any questions.
Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.
Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.
Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:
First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.
You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!
For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
This appointment is ideal for those seeking to refresh or delve deeper into their seasonal palette. Together, we’ll discover your best neutrals and explore an array of colour combinations, empowering you to curate a capsule wardrobe that brings joy with every wear.
Experience tailored makeup recommendations, including your perfect lip colours, and receive expert advice on hair shades that perfectly harmonise with your palette.
You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.

I had booked a session with Kate two years ago but was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer on the day of my session. The good news is that the cancer is now all cleared, but it left me with a severe lack of confidence and struggling to start a new life as a retired lady. I have always struggled with deciding what the right styles were for me and trying to tone colours. I knew how I wanted to look but not how to achieve it.
Before our session, Kate had asked me to think about my objectives for the sessions and to think about how I would like to look. This was such a valuable task and gave Kate and I a good starting point in our discussions.
Kate was such an inspiration. I felt as if I had known her for years and we really covered so much in the day. I came away knowing not only which colours suit me but with a whole new insight into my body shape and dressing style. Who knew I had a touch of romantic in me!!
Since then I have had such fun sorting out my wardrobe. Shopping for clothes has become a joy, It is now so much easier to head for the colours that I know are going to suit me. All of my clothes now go together and I love getting dressed every morning. My confidence has had such a boost and I now approach new situations with a confidence which I have never felt before.
If you are wondering whether to book a session I would say ‘go for it’! You will love it and be amazed at what you find out about yourself – enjoy!!

The two teambuilding sessions with Kate resulted in me reviewing and adapting my working wardrobe and casual wardrobe, the jewellery I wear and how I shop now that I’ve found out what suits me. I’m also aware of how important accessories are to achieve a ‘finished’ look, as are hair colour and style. I’ve also gained a new found confidence in presenting myself as best I can at all times.

I very much enjoyed my House of Colour experience with Kate as I was able to learn about the colours that suited me best and inject some much needed colour to my rather dark wardrobe. Having a relaxed dress policy at work makes it sometimes difficult to know what to wear but now I know the winter colours I can make my casual wardrobe work well for work too with the right colours and accessories. I can also enjoy pulling out a nice dress from time to time for those smarter work occasions.

I would like to thank Kate for a fabulous colour consultation. I was surprised and delighted to discover that I am a 'Spring'. The transformation in trying different colours and tones and the effect they can have was amazing. I would recommend attending the course with others, as it was really beneficial to see the process on different people; and even though the 3 of us didn't know each other, we celebrated the differences & journey together.
I just wish I'd had it done years ago!
