I love supporting and teaching about issues that really matter to our children, young people and those who care for, and educate them. I cannot think of anything I’d rather be doing.

It has been an absolute joy to work with Kate on the writing and development of Collins’ Primary and Lower Secondary Wellbeing series. Kate is incredibly knowledgeable and conscientious in her work and approached the project thoughtfully, especially when considering how to create PSHE and Wellbeing resources that are culturally appropriate in a range of international markets. I very much hope to be able to work with Kate again moving forwards. Thank you so much for all your work!

Working with Kate was wonderful. She took the time to talk through our exact needs, and gave professional and sound advice. She put together a thorough presentation, which was bursting with expert knowledge and examples Kate had experienced herself. Although our group was large, Kate still managed to get us on our feet taking in practical activities and engaging all our colleagues.

It was a pleasure to work with Kate on a curriculum development project and facilitator training. This was rather a unique project with input from a variety of individuals and organisations – Kate was able to integrate all of these into a cohesive set [curriculum of twenty] engaging PSHE lessons for Key Stage 2 children alongside an accompanying handbook. She also supported teachers in two training sessions, [supporting them] to deliver these lessons in the classroom. She was able to fulfil some very tight deadlines and kept a positive outlook throughout and the teachers she trained gave very positive feedback on her delivery and support.

Kate was a brilliant author on our KS4 PSHE publication, Your Choice, producing lesson plans and resources to help teachers deliver a comprehensive and sensitive curriculum for RSHE and PSHE. Kate’s enthusiasm really energised the team and her expertise guided and shaped the project. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her throughout.

“I thought it was good, she explained everything well and relaxed us. There is no need to be embarrassed with Miss Daniels.” Yr 6 boy

“I have learnt so much and related to others, I also like my body more.”

“It was very informative and helpful.” Yr 7

“I will not watch porn and know more about child exploitation.” Yr 8

“Kate delivered a superb address on the subject of: Teaching Sex and Relationship Education in the Secondary School. She did it with great enthusiasm and good humour and brought an air of authority to this area which many people find difficult to teach. She laid down several helpful ground rules for discussions with pupils and her knowledge of legislation and current developments was particularly impressive. The delegates found it a very useful session.”

“For a few years now we have been working with Kate to produce PSHE features for AQUILA magazine. She is a joy to work with. She was very quick to get the ethos of our publication and knows her subject – and more importantly – kids – inside out. Everything she has produced for us has been thoroughly researched and is written with clarity, humour and a kindness that really shines through. I can commission her knowing that our readers are in extremely safe hands, and that means I can relax and get on with other elements of my job.”

“Exceptional delivery, well planned and really informative.”
“You have a lovely, friendly approach…calm, engaging, knowledgeable and at a perfect pace.”
“Solid confident delivery, sound knowledge base and clear understanding.”
“Warm, natural, enjoyable style. You demystified a tricky subject area.”
“A very relaxed and engaging style -you are very easy to listen to!”
“You made a difficult topic more comfortable so people could engage.”

“Kate engaged with all the audiences, offering them lots of solutions which were welcomed as were the discussion points. Thorough in research and preparation, her content was really well adapted for the school’s/year group’s needs.”

“I really liked it. I learned about what stress actually is and I learned different ways for coping with stress that I can do easily.”

“I thought the session was really helpful. It’s nice to talk about stresses instead of keeping them in. I learned new ways to cope with my stress.”

“I learnt that things that stress me out can be solved.”

“During this session I learned how to destress myself through activities and meditation. I enjoyed the activities we did. To conclude it, I learned how important it is to sort out stress as this will help your mental health. Thank you!”

“We have just had a fabulous day with Kate. The children were so engaged throughout the workshop. Kate put them at ease from the beginning, assuring them that nothing was too big or small to talk about. The children were encouraged to lead the questions and they were able to ask anything they wanted. As a teacher, I learnt so much which will help me develop and expand our RSE curriculum in school. A super day!”

“Really enjoyed the mix of activities and teaching. Kate was so knowledgable and passionate about the subject and her energy really had a positive impact on the team. It was lovely to see them exploring new ideas and discussing how they could put this into practice. Thank you Kate – the best training session we have had!”
