Testimonials
Katherine is a thoughtful and intuitive facilitator. With Katherine's empathic and assertive facilitation style we were able to explore our defining values and purpose with reference to our anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches. Katherine's background and understanding of this work was invaluable. They brought a lot of practical coordination skills such as, summarising pinch points back to the collective and supporting the flow of conversation. In addressing our decision making processes they supported the collective to navigate group dynamics and move through a transitional phase of our organising.
- Grace Deione, Unlearning Racism Collective, Racial Justice Network
I couldn't have chosen a better person to work with on an at times sensitive and complicated participatory research project. Katherine was patient, reflective, considerate, and committed to the principles of care and liberation in ways which not only improved the quality of the work we did together but also formed the basis of a rich and inspiring working relationship. I would choose to work with Katherine again in a heartbeat.
- Jo Kamal, Food Sovereignty Organiser
Katherine created an incredibly secure and safe space for me to explore some deep issues around my professional journey, specifically the challenges of leadership. Their inquisitiveness and rigour meant there was a thoroughness and depth to the enquiry, consistently informed by Katherine’s nuanced understanding of power and rank dynamics, both the ones I bring, and the ones I face.
- Rabab Ghazoul, Director, Gentle/Radical
Katherine has been in a critical friend role for me for the past couple of years. They have created an invaluable space to talk through complex issues related to movement organising, race and leadership. I trust Katherine's advice on these topics and more, their ability to ask useful questions and to offer suggestions for my own personal development. They facilitate with ease, interest and compassion. I would really recommend Katherine as a mentor!
- Christabel Buchanen, Movement Building Coordinator, Shared Assets
Katherine Wall is an exceptional facilitator and co-director, one who moves with the quiet wisdom of someone who knows that change begins in the spaces between us, in our cracks. In Organising for Change, Katherine created intentional and reflective encounters where deep learning happened for us holding space and for people who joined us. Their remarkable sensitivity to power dynamics—seen, named, and gently held—invited a sense of belonging that nurtured each voice without erasing its uniqueness. Working alongside Katherine was an experience of being supported and seen, not just as a collaborator but as part of a collective becoming. Their facilitation did more than strengthen my practice as a social movement trainer; it rooted us all in the kind of transformative work that lingers, reshaping what feels possible for movements and organisers alike.
- Tatiana Garavito, Care and Repair, Tipping Point
Katherine is a gifted facilitator. Their ability to thoughtfully open up deep and challenging conversations that get to the heart of the issue, while listening deeply, and synthesising the needs in the room so succinctly and effortlessly is incredible! I leave Katherine's sessions feeling energised, with clarity on how to move forward, and a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I'm always surprised at how we manage to get through, and how many challenges we manage to resolve with Katherine's skilful guidance. Their approach is gentle, strategic, radical, compassionate and humble. The Unlearning Racism Collective would be in a very different place without their invaluable support. It's been a deep honour to have worked with Katherine as an external facilitator, and would recommend them wholeheartedly!
- Maia Kelly, Unlearning Racism Collective, Racial Justice Collective
Katherine was extremely supportive to work with. They brought a compassionate, considered and thoughtful lens to everything that I brought and were able to respond very much in the here and now. I really appreciated her flexibility and how organised she was. They did really well at accommodating access needs and helping me stay connected to a sense of embodiment and safety. I would highly recommend her.
- Jilna Shah, Programme Manager, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust
Katherine brought her professional experience of land justice facilitation work to co-facilitate our Pathways to Land for BPOC forums at fairly short notice. I greatly appreciated her creative, caring and calm approach to her work. Furthermore, Katherine's critical reflections about these forums enabled me to engage with how to improve the design and facilitation of any future similar events.
