Many people I work with feel overwhelmed, trapped in their thoughts, or frustrated that their body and mind don’t seem to be cooperating, no matter how hard they try. You may seem like you’re coping from the outside but inside your mind can’t switch off. You may also be wondering whether therapy will help, or how to find the right support. It’s a lot, but you don’t have to do it alone. I specialise in supporting adults with anxiety, OCD, & trauma, as well as those navigating chronic pain/health conditions, autoimmune conditions, PMDD, endometriosis, or perinatal/postpartum challenges. Proudly neuro-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive.

As a Clinical Neuropsychologist, I offer therapy for children, parents, and adults, alongside neuropsychological assessments for ADHD, ASD, IQ, and complex cognitive or emotional concerns.
My clients tend to be individuals who may not yet have the words to articulate what’s going wrong, but know deep down that something isn’t working. They may feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or stuck—struggling to make sense of cognitive changes, learning difficulties, emotional dysregulation, or a life path that’s been shaped by disability, trauma, or health events. Whether it’s a teenager who’s always felt “different,” an adult navigating the aftermath of brain injury, or a parent trying to understand their child’s complex presentation, they are seeking clarity, validation, and direction.

Hey there! I’m Catherine. We all know what a counsellor does, we listen and support. However, we all work a little differently. So, in my practise, I love working with people from all walks of life, who want to understand their inner world on a deeper level. This includes your feelings, thoughts, relationship patterns... those areas that you may feel are little tougher to talk about and understand. I am deeply curious in helping you find ways to feel less distressed & overwhelmed. I love supporting you to find your answers to life stressors, so you can feel more connected to yourself.

Many of the people I see come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, or low mood. Some are navigating personal or family challenges, while others are experiencing difficulties at work or struggling to find balance in their busy lives. I also support individuals dealing with trauma, sleep disturbances, or the emotional toll of ongoing health concerns. What unites them is a desire to feel lighter, more in control, and to reclaim a sense of calm, purpose, and wellbeing in their everyday lives.

Blackwood, SA 5051
I work with children from 7+, teens, older adults, and anyone who feels overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or alone in what they are carrying. Many come with trauma, grief, neurodivergence, or relational pain, and need a space that feels safe, gentle, and deeply attuned. Words are not always enough, which is why creative arts and the calming presence of horses, donkeys, dogs, and chickens can help create safety, connection, and a sense of ease. Often, clients want to feel more understood, more regulated, and more like themselves again.
