Katie Watson

For nearly a decade, Katie has worked in the charitable sector with vulnerable and disadvantaged adults and is also a qualified teacher. In 2018, she was awarded a scholarship to train as a trauma-informed writing guide for Write Your Self, a global writing movement aimed at supporting people to reclaim their stories after experiencing trauma. She was the first guide based in the UK to be trained in the methodology. She is also a published writer – in 2017 she was runner-up in Mslexia’s prestigious women’s poetry competition and more recently her work has appeared in Inside The Bell Jar and A Wild and Precious Life, an anthology of stories focussing on recovery published by Unbound. She is also a Psychotherapist in private practice and has served on the board of trustees for Manchester Rape Crisis for the past 6 years.
