She has a keen interest in approaching mental health from a holistic approach and helping you to live the best life you can.

Kate is passionate about supporting the neurodivergent community. When Kate started Cariad Wellness, she found that she attracted clients who were experiencing challenges due to being a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world. Kate and her family are also neurodivergent, and so she brings lived experience to the table.

Kate is originally from Wales and this is where the inspiration for the name “Cariad Wellness” came from. Cariad means love in the Welsh language. And Kate loves wellness, and so Cariad Wellness was born.
