Hi, I'm Katerina. I have been in education for over 20 years in different positions of responsibility. I am a compassionate and dedicated professional with a deep commitment to supporting children, young people, and families, particularly those with SEND and additional needs. With years of experience as a SENCo and specialist practitioner, I have developed a wealth of knowledge in education, safeguarding, and inclusive practice. My approach is both strategic and heart-led, blending expertise in policy and professional development with a genuine understanding of the emotional and practical challenges families face. As the founder of Pink Flamingo Therapy, I bring together counselling, holistic therapy, and relationship-based support, integrating mindful movement where appropriate, to create a safe and empowering space for individuals to grow and heal. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships—whether working with parents, professionals, or young people. Balancing professionalism with authenticity, I strive to make a meaningful impact while staying true to my values of kindness, empowerment, and resilience.
