Dr Catherine Knibbs (PhD)'s Biography

Dr Catherine Knibbs is a consultant child and adult psychotherapist, a researcher specialising in online harm and cybertrauma, and the author of seven books.

She specialises in educating and supporting adults in understanding child development and behaviour in a world of technology.

Catherine has authored 7 books so far about online life and development of children (and adults) and the pickles we can get into. She has completed her PhD, a TEDx talk, gained millions of views on her social media content, won several national and international awards for her work in cyber and spoken to thousands of parents and professionals through her trainings, clinical work and public speaking.

She knows all too well (as she is a mum who raised children) that tech time tantrums in families can cost the deep connection held with children, and how professionals often feel overwhelmed in being able to support these tech laden families too. Her mission is to change the way we understand children living in a world of technology and to give parents and professionals back their power (or power-up!!)

She is working on another book and training right now and some more free online content, all about tech smart parenting. Which is also the name of her latest book that was published in 2025.
