Hello, my name is Kat..
I'm a registered nurse and founder of KLT Consultancy. I studied nursing at Cardiff University and have spent more than eighteen years working across health and care, specialising in practice education, workforce development and educator development.
I created KLT Consultancy to give educators and healthcare professionals space to grow with confidence, authenticity and kindness. My work is grounded in the belief that people thrive when they feel valued, supported and able to be their authentic self.
Why work with me?
I understand the realities of nurse education and leadership, the rewards, the responsibility, and sometimes the uncertainty. My approach combines sector experience with a person centred perspective that focuses on strengths rather than shortcomings.
I understand the real challenges faced by educators; from stepping into new roles to leading complex change. My work is about helping you find clarity, confidence and belonging in those moments.
I believe professional growth should feel personal, grounded and sustainable.
At the heart of my work are three simple ideas:
Be more you. Choose kindness. Keep life thriving.
My experience
Over the past decade I’ve worked across organisations, sectors and national projects to strengthen nurse education and workforce development. I’m a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education.
I’ve held leadership roles at organisational, regional and national level, including serving as Chair of the UK Clinical Nurse Educator Network; a role that helped broaden my understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing nurse educators today. I remain passionate about raising the profile of education and giving voice to those shaping the current and next generation of nurses.
I’m currently a trainee positive psychology coach, bringing curiosity, reflection and practical strategies that support real, lasting growth. I believe growth happens when people feel safe, seen and supported.
My approach
Every conversation begins with listening, really understanding what matters most to you, helping you find clarity, confidence and direction. I bring together professional insight and personal understanding, as a nurse, educator and carer. My aim is to create calm, encouraging spaces where you can explore your identity, strengths and reconnect with your purpose.
I see strong links between the natural world and human development; the seasons of growth, the need for nurture, and the acceptance of change and impermanence. My role is to help you create the right conditions for your own growth, and to keep life thriving, both in your work and beyond.
