Catherine Knibbs

I'm a Human Being, Mum, Author, Doctoral (PhD) Clinical Researcher, and Child/Adult Psychotherapist specialising in virtual and corporeal trauma using Integrative creative methods including gaming and biofeedback. I am a gamer, blogger, vlogger, and podcaster. I'm the Director for Privacy4 (An industry information Standard for Therapists), a cyber specialist, and proposed a new theory as to why we engage in cyber space as we do. I have published in peer reviewed journals as a leading researcher in the U.K. around the topic of cybertrauma which included a new academic definition for cyberbullying and cybertrauma/online harms. I write for some of the largest U.K. e-safety companies, including a national newsletter #DITTO that goes directly into schools. I present at National and International conferences (which has included CCMH/IATE, NSPCC, Marie Collins, and Onlinevents), and have presented at ACTO (The leading online counselling organisation in U.K.), ACTIO, Confer, and other leading Psychotherapy Organisations around this large topic. I have been on Therapist Uncensored, Shrink Rap Radio, and Trauma Therapist podcasts in the U.S. I am a UKCP MSc dual Child & Adult Psychotherapist. I'm a mum to two adult boys, run a trauma practice, and have a private practice too. I am currently writing a second book. I have a great self-care routine and use Functional medicine principles and nutrigenomics to 'biohack' to ensure I am performing optimally for myself and my clients.
