Currently Katy is studying a postgraduate degree in Play Therapy, which she also touches on during her speaking engagements. This topic is specifically aimed at full time working parents similar to her, demonstrating how to create a true connection with children and avoid difficult behaviors whilst parents can also maintain their own energy levels.
