Strategic support for small business owners and consultants.
We support service-based business owners and consultants with clear thinking, practical strategy and experienced support as their business grows.
Meet the team.
You do not need a huge consultancy. You need the right people in your corner, who understand what it is to grow a small, service based business and who can help you build something that works in real life.
That is what we do here. We bring together strategy, operations, sales and marketing so that you can grow your business in a way that feels clear, sustainable and right for you.
We’ve worked with over 200 small businesses and we would love to support you too.
Katherine Dyer
FOUNDER & LEAD CONSULTANT
I have spent more than twenty years in sales, operations, HR and leadership roles, working with organisations such as LV=, Debenhams, Screwfix, Wrigleys and Clarks, as well as over 200 small businesses.
What my clients tell me they value most is that I make things feel calmer and more manageable. I help you get everything out of your head, make sense of it and turn it into a practical plan that you actually want to deliver.
I started The Pocket Strategist after burning out and realising that I wanted a business that would support my life, not the other way around. That is the lens I bring to every project we work on together.

How we work with you.
We do not drop in with a generic framework and leave you with a slide deck you will never open again.
We listen, ask questions and get to know how your business really works. Then we work with you to create a clear, realistic plan, and support you to follow through on it.
If you are building a small, service based business that you want to feel sustainable and successful over the long term, you are in the right place.
