My website

I am passionate about providing responsive, meaningful mental health therapy, and I have a collaborative, strengths based approach. I currently work part time for an organisation, providing clinical therapy for individuals who experience complex and serious mental health issues, and my private practice is small and growing.

Kathleen provides therapy to adolescents and adults to support an improvement in general mental health and wellbeing. Areas of expertise include anxiety and panic disorders, depression, PTSD and trauma, adjustment to life's challenges and grief & loss. Therapies can include EMDR, CPT, CBT, ACT, DBT and your preferences and wishes will be honoured.

Please feel free to contact me for a discussion, so I can introduce myself and you can make an informed decision.
