About Me

Kate Mishcon

Mindfulness and Resilience Educator

I discovered mindfulness over 20 years ago during a period of overwhelm and anxiety, and it fundamentally changed the way I relate to stress, pressure and difficult emotions.

That experience shaped not only how I live, but the work I now lead professionally.

Today, I lead an award-winning mindfulness-informed resilience programme at Kaplan International, creating practices and workshops that help students, professionals and teams navigate stress, overwhelm and difficult emotions with greater steadiness, calm and self-compassion.

Alongside my work at Kaplan, I teach on the meditation app Insight Timer, where thousands of listeners return to my practices for support with everyday challenges such as overthinking, anxiety, low mood, self-criticism and stress.

My approach combines mindfulness, self-compassion and gentle nervous-system support in a way that feels practical, emotionally honest and genuinely supportive for modern life. I’m particularly interested in helping people build an inner resilience that supports both how they feel and how they perform.

Before moving into this work full-time, I spent many years leading international marketing teams, where I saw first-hand the impact that emotional wellbeing, psychological safety and compassionate leadership can have on both people and performance. That understanding continues to shape everything I teach today.

I trained formally with MindfulnessUK and The Meditation School, and my work has also been influenced by teachers including Chris Germer, Kristin Neff, Lou Redmond and Alistair Appleton.

I also support a number of charities and community organisations, including The Carers Network and The Zen Project.
