About This Speaker: Kate Robson
When organizations look for a speaker who combines deep clinical expertise with genuine human warmth, they book Kate Robson. As a registered psychotherapist and the bestselling author of Something to Hold Onto (Simon & Schuster), Kate Robson has dedicated her career to helping individuals and teams navigate high-stress environments. Drawing from years of clinical practice, she brings a blend of evidence-based strategies, humor, and compassion to every stage.
Kate Robson first gained international recognition for her pioneering work as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) family support specialist. Inspired by her own harrowing experience with her children in the NICU, she spent more than twelve years educating clinicians and families on trauma-informed and family-centered care. This foundation in high-stakes environments allowed her to master the art of emotional resilience and attachment. She translates this knowledge into practical guidance for broader audiences.
In her private practice, Kate Robson supports individuals and couples through infertility, high-risk pregnancies, and bereavement. Her integrative approach is grounded in several sophisticated therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR. Known for her “mastery of metaphor”, she uses creative imagery to help people reframe their stories, understand the “weight” they carry, and decide what to hold onto and what to release.
On the speaking stage, Kate Robson empowers audiences to rethink resilience not as mere toughness, but as the capacity to stay present and connected during uncertainty. Her talks on “Building Emotion-Friendly Workplaces” and “Finding Strength in Uncertain Times” deliver actionable tools that professionals can implement immediately to reduce burnout and boost productivity. Overall, Kate Robson helps her listeners move beyond “fine” to find genuine connection, purpose, and movement forward.
