She is a Chartered Psychologist, Member of the Association of Business Psychology, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and Principal Fellow of The Higher Education Academy.  
She has a background in nursing and healthcare, and is a Visiting Senior Fellow with the Darwin International Institute for the Study of Compassion (DIISC). DIISC is named after Charles Darwin, and its core mission is to support and develop a new generation of scholars and future leaders with a deeper understanding of compassion. Kathryn is particularly interested in exploring how a deeper understanding of compassion can offer fresh insights into business psychology practice. Her current research and scholarship explores the use of interpretive ethnography as a means of revealing the ‘dark side’ of academic life, and the role of compassion in promoting and sustaining healthy organisational cultures and leadership practices.
