Meet the SENsAble Network
SENsAble Consulting is building a multidisciplinary network of consultants across education, health, and social care. Together, we work to create more inclusive, supportive, and fulfilling experiences for children, young people, families, and practitioners.
A Collaborative Approach
Every consultant within the SENsAble network brings unique expertise, professional knowledge, and lived experience. What connects us is a shared commitment to proactive inclusion, humanised communication, and meaningful advocacy for children and young people.
We believe children thrive when the adults around them work together, not in isolation. By building stronger communication between families, practitioners, and multidisciplinary teams, we help create joined-up, meaningful support.
Meet the Network
As SENsAble grows, our multidisciplinary network of specialists will continue to expand. Each consultant brings valuable expertise and a commitment to child-centred, inclusive practice.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Karina Jay Walker MA, BA (Hons), PGCE
Founder of SENsAble Consulting
Qualifications
- Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and Management
- Bachelor’s Degree (with Honours) in Primary Education with SEND and Inclusion
- Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE)
Karina founded SENsAble Consulting after years of experience within education, SEND, inclusion, and advocacy. Through academic research, professional practice, and lived experience, they developed a deep understanding of the challenges families and practitioners face within fragmented systems.
Their journey combines professional expertise, academic research, and lived experience.
SENsAble was created from a belief that every child deserves education that is suitable, accessible, and genuinely fulfilling.
Karina’s educational journey has been anything but conventional. After initially struggling in traditional education, travelling and working abroad helped shape their understanding of fulfilment, learning, and human potential.
Returning to the UK, Karina worked in mainstream and specialist educational settings, implemented Forest School and Outdoor Learning programmes, and supported children with additional needs. These experiences deepened their understanding of how inaccessible education can be for many young people.
During further study in SEND and inclusion, Karina discovered their own ADHD diagnosis, helping them better understand both themself and the barriers many children face.
While studying Educational Leadership and Management, Karina’s research highlighted a difficult reality: many families still face fragmented systems, traumatic experiences, and barriers to accessing support.
SENsAble Consulting was created from a belief that things can be better for children, families, and practitioners alike.
