Meet Katy - The Guide to Your North Star

I don’t usually step into the scene. I prefer to stay just out of frame, where I can see the whole picture.

But since you’ve followed me this far into the In-Between, it’s only fair I introduce myself.

I’m Katy Hetherington.

Neither a witch nor a wizard (though I have been asked to weave my magic from time to time) — just someone who’s spent two decades helping people find the right words, and occasionally, themselves.

British by birth. Australian by upbringing. Currently freezing in Sweden.

No transatlantic accent — just the occasional maaaate when the meeting runs long.

I’ve worked in communications for a long time — helping global companies navigate identity, change and everything that comes with it: strategy, engagement, storytelling, crisis, transformation.

Katy In Between

These days I divide my time between corporate meeting rooms and North Star Sessions — where strategy meets psychic guidance, intuition, and common sense occasionally has a spiritual awakening and a seat at the table.

My home is Ekerö, an island near Stockholm, where I live with my partner Mikael, our daughter Eleanor, and Alva — a young Ragdoll cat growing into her unnerving emotional intelligence. Rupert (the original soul cat) now supervises from the astral plane.

When I’m not writing, listening, or translating the in-between, you’ll find me chasing the light, drinking tea, and untangling what was never as complicated as it first appeared.

Unless it’s two intertwined necklaces. Then I need help.

About Katy Hetherington. Vintage-style illustration of Katy sitting in an armchair with a Stockholm city scene can be seen outside of the window. In the night sky you can see a North Star. She has a ragdoll cat by her feet.

Training & Background

Alongside my corporate career in communications, in Australia, the UK and Sweden, I’ve spent over a decade developing my intuitive practice through grounded, reputable training — long before North Star Sessions existed.
