Throughout it all, Kate has advocated for children and their emotional well-being. Her academic roots are in child development, with a BSc in Psychology; she has worked for more than a decade in children’s mental health, ultimately retraining as a children’s counsellor with the children’s mental health charity, Place2Be. Philanthropically, for many years she has supported charities like the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, The NHS Maudsley Foundation Trust, as well as the NSPCC and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Royal Foundation.
Her passion is to share what she has learned with as many parents as she can, to help them to have the parenting experience they have always hoped to have, and for their children to have the parenting experience they deserve.
Kate is also highly experienced working with corporates delivering engaging, warm and inspirational talks and Q&As to employees as well as boards and executive teams.
In April 2021, Kate released her book There's No Such Thing As Naughty, which became a Sunday Times Best Seller.

A highly professional and intelligent package – with a keen sense of humour and oodles of charm. Kate Silverton held the stage and the audience perfectly – a delight to work with.
Once again Kate was supremely professional in everything that she did. Hosting the PLC awards in front of 1,500 attendees at The Grosvenor House, in the round, and without a lectern or notes, takes some doing – but Kate gave a master-class in presenting!
Kate has, without exception, proved to be an invaluable asset and a total professional… she is always able to engage with contributors and ensure that they have a good experience.
Thank you for hosting the AM awards so warmly and professionally. I have had occassion to attend a few and would like to congratulate you on your stage presence, confidence and warmth which I found second to none. Many thanks for making what can so often be a somewhat long and turgid affair (even if you win!) an absolute delight.
Kate was such a professional and went over and above Office Depot's expectations of her role. She mingled with everyone, asking questions before the event started, information which she then pulled onto the stage minutes later – absolutely fantastic.
A very big thank you for hosting the Wildscreen Panda Awards Ceremony. Thank you SO much for doing such a brilliant job, with such aplomb, bonhomie and such consumate professionalism. It was a wonderful evening, enjoyed by all and we've had great feedback.
Kate is a joy to work with, has a great understanding of the event and takes a genuine interest in it and the audience. She is extremely professional and takes the time to get the script just right and understand our objectives. She has a charming manner and engages brilliantly with the guests. Feedback from our guest survey about Kate is superb!
We have had good hosts in the past, but Kate surpassed them all. She is not only highly professional, grasping the nuances of a specialised industry sector, but comes over as an incredibly nice, likeable person. Her support for our chosen charity, Help for Heroes, boosted contributions to a fantastic amount. We had a great deal of feedback, 100% of which was positive. We have already asked about her availability for next year's event.
