Kathryn Berkett

Kathryn has her Masters in Educational Psychology. She is also a certified Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics practitioner - a qualification gained via the Child Trauma Academy (Dr Bruce Perry).

Kathryn has been training audiences since 2007. Kathryn has a unique ability to engage audiences, convey complex information in an easy-to-listen to, easy-to-understand way.

Her intense passion for what she does comes across when she presents. Audiences constantly comment on how easy it was to listen to a session from Kathryn (even those who often struggle to concentrate!)

Many have returned years later to a session - telling of how they have used the information learnt from ENGAGE in their lives every day since...
