The Reading Doctor



Hello, I'm Catrina!
Welcome to The Reading Doctor Westgate. I’m passionate about unlocking the reading potential in every child and helping them grow into confident, successful learners. With nearly two decades of experience in specialist education, I’m proud to offer tailored support that meets each child exactly where they are.

Why I Became a Reading Doctor
My journey with The Reading Doctor began when I met founder Deborah Salsbury while working in a school. I had the opportunity to use the method and resources in my classroom and witnessed the transformation it sparked in struggling readers. That experience ignited my passion to join the team. Over the past 18 years in a specialist school, I’ve learned that children thrive when supported holistically, emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually and when they feel safe, seen and accepted. The Reading Doctor approach embraces that philosophy entirely.

How I work

✅ 1:1 bespoke sessions using proven, dyslexia-friendly, multi-sensory methods
✅ Available in-person and online, tailored to your child’s needs
✅ Reading Doctor Hubs available in schools
✅ A nurturing, non-judgemental environment that celebrates individual strengths
If you’re concerned about your child’s reading, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to help them build confidence, independence and a love of reading.
