Poetry as Witness workshops
I offer poetic exploration as a tool of engagement and supportive action. I draw on my years of experience in Reflective Practice Facilitation to create bespoke workshops for clients.
My work centres around equipping people to remain in relationship with themselves and one another after something irreversible has happened.
I work one-to-one and in teams across all sectors, drawing on the restorative nature of writing, blue spaces and gentle integrative practices, curated around what is needed in the moment.
My approach is slow, reflective and creative. What I offer is a safe space to pause, listen inwardly, and trust what you hear, and, in Li-Young Lee’s words, to find nectar at the roadside.

‘Kates’ workshop was both uplifting and insightful. It helped my team to come together and talk openly about wellbeing issues and left us with a shared experience and common vocabulary that we kept going back to’Colum Goodchild. Head of Regulatory Investment Planning. National Grid
I was really impressed with Kate as a facilitator and her ability to let conversation develop and draw parallels. I particularly enjoyed the use of free non- conventional writing. She enabled us to analogies which resonated with big decision making strategies.
