Catherine's career in clinical psychology reflects her diverse interests and caring personality. Her experience has equipped her to practice with both sensitivity and safety to one's culture and/or diversity needs. She takes a non-judgmental, warm, and client centered approach, ensuring she creates a setting in which her clients feel safe to be vulnerable without judgement. She ensures her clients’ goals guide the therapy by working collaboratively and by valuing input and feedback. Catherine works to empower clients with an understanding of their difficulties before developing a shared treatment plan of skills to meet their goals.
As a Clinical Psychologist, Catherine employs only evidence-based interventions and is able to personalise and tailor therapy to the client in the room. Her predominant treatment approaches are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and she draws from skills from various other evidence based approaches.
Catherine's professional interests include depression and low mood, anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and the navigation of difficult life events/ transitions. She is passionate about providing clients with an understanding of their difficulties and empowering them through tools to live the life they want to live.
