My Background
Leadership Coach and Mentor | SEN Specialist | Wellbeing Champion
I’m Katie, a passionate leadership coach, curriculum specialist, and advocate for wellbeing in education and beyond.
With over 20 years’ experience as an educator, mentor, and curriculum leader for SEN and high-needs learners, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals and organisations thrive through inclusive, values driven leadership.
Qualified through the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM5) as a Leadership Coach and Mentor, and with a PGCE in Post-Compulsory Education and training. I integrate contemporary coaching methodologies to foster emotionally intelligent leadership. I’m known for creating safe, meaningful spaces that spark growth, resilience, and real transformation.
My career spans both education and the performing arts. I’ve established and managed my own businesses as Principal of the Pauline Quirke Academy and Riverside Theatre School in Cambridgeshire, trained and taught at the Elliott Clarke Dance and Drama School in Liverpool. I’ve also worked professionally as an actress in various television roles - experiences that continue to inform my work with presence, confidence, and communication.
As a specialist in SEN and neurodiversity, I’ve supported learners with complex needs, including within PMLD settings, and find working with neurodiverse individuals deeply rewarding. I also lead strategic, cross-organisational wellbeing initiatives that promote mental health, morale, and a culture of care.
• I specialise in mentoring leaders who work with with complex learners with diverse needs, including those in PMLD settings, through tailored, inclusive educational approaches.
• I work closely with parents, carers, and families to build understanding, confidence, and strategies that foster progress and wellbeing.
• I design and deliver curriculum that meets the unique learning profiles of neurodiverse individuals, ensuring accessibility and engagement to meet EHCPs.
• I advocate for inclusive practice across educational and organisational settings, promoting environments where every voice is valued.
• Coach and mentor educators and leaders to develop neurodiversity-aware approaches that enhance teaching, leadership, and team dynamics.
• Champion strengths-based development, helping neurodiverse learners build self-esteem, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
I believe that when we invest in people, their wellbeing, their development, their voice; we build organisations that flourish from the inside out.
Whether you’re a leader seeking clarity, a team navigating change, an individual ready to grow, or a parent wanting some support -
I’m here to support your journey.
