Join me, Katie, from October 2026 to July 2027
To partake in a truly special HICAT Practitioner Hybrid Learning experience.
This unique hybrid journey blends online learning with deeply nourishing
in-person sessions held in my cosy creative cabin in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

​​You’ll become part of an intimate, small-group experience, journeying together to explore the wellbeing benefits of creativity - while also learning the science behind how and why creative processes support healing.
A maximum of 4 students will ensure safety, depth, and individual support.
Designed for those who value relationship, embodiment, and lived experience.
​
On completion, you’ll graduate as a Certified HICAT Practitioner, with the confidence
to call yourself a 'Creative Arts Facilitator' or 'Creative Therapist'.
​
Places are offered following a gentle, informal interview.
If you feel drawn to this training, I invite you to book a call with me to explore
whether this feels fully aligned for you - and for our group.​
