Katie has spent 20 years working as a doctor in the NHS, 16 of those as a GP, before joining the team at LWS.
It has always been her key value to be able to make a difference, with a focus on mental health and wellbeing, and this remains unchanged, albeit in a slightly different setting. Her interest in early years and education came first through her experiences as a parent herself, she was actively involved in her children’s school throughout their primary school years, through the PTA and as a parent volunteer, and was a Beaver leader for 2 years until 2020. She completed an introductory course on play therapy at Roehampton University before joining LWS, and understands the importance of learning through play.
When not at school, Katie continues to spend much of her time outdoors, hiking, climbing and spending time with her family.
