WHAT KATE DOES
Kate uses therapeutic storytelling to help children turn adversity into agency. Her work shows how self-leadership develops when children are genuinely respected and given tools to express themselves.
WHY IT MATTERS
In uncertain times, children need more than advice, they need agency.
Schools, families, and practitioners need approaches that build confidence, resilience, and practical self-leadership.
Kate’s work was shaped by personal constraint, including long separation from her son.
That experience helped crystallise a method built around what cannot be controlled: story, meaning, and agency.
