About
Supporting and enabling children, families and educators to thrive
Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a Certified Play And Creative Arts Therapist, based near Witney.
My passion is offering hope, healing and empowerment to children and their families when life feels tough.
I have worked with children for as long as I can remember, in a variety of roles and settings, including a children’s centre, charity, school and community groups.
Over the last 15 years, I have increasingly worked with parents and carers, delivering courses and workshops, and offering parent coaching.
I have paired my work with children and families with a career that has spanned a variety of industries, including the publishing, legal, commercial, academic and charity sectors, and continue to provide some additional consultancy services to businesses.
