I am passionate about providing psychological support to adolescents and adults who are seeking greater emotional wellbeing, clarity, and resilience. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depressive symptoms, stress and burnout, emotional regulation difficulties, interpersonal/relationship difficulties and life transitions. Many people come to therapy following experiences of family violence, complex or developmental trauma. Others are navigating persistent emotional overwhelm, reduced functioning, or a sense of disconnect. I endeavour to create a safe, warm space that supports collaboration and curiosity.

Life transitions can stir uncertainty, grief, and confusion—but they also hold the potential for growth, insight, and deep self-understanding. I work with adults from all walks of life who want to make sense of their experiences, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life. While I have significant experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, I welcome anyone seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to explore personal challenges, trauma, or patterns that may be holding them back.

You’re longing for a relationship that feels safe, connected, and honest—whether you’re navigating conflict, repair after infidelity, communication breakdowns, mismatched needs, or the complexity of polyamory, ENM, or being in a neurodiverse partnership. You want clarity, trust, and emotional grounding, but feel stuck in patterns you can’t shift alone. Attachment wounds, unresolved conflicts and unexpected triggers keep getting in the way. You're stuck in a vicious relationship spiral. You value depth, growth, and authentic connection, and you’re ready for support that honours your identities, your values, and the way you love.

Hi, I’m Isabelle – a relational psychotherapist offering individual and couples therapy in Melbourne. My practice is particularly well-suited to people navigating relational and developmental trauma, emotional distress, or the sense of being stuck in longstanding patterns. I believe psychotherapy has the potential to be truly transformative, not only for managing symptoms, but for cultivating greater self-awareness, agency, emotional freedom, and more connected relationships. This belief is continually reinforced not only through my clinical work and ongoing training, but also through my own experience of therapy.

Katrine's ideal client may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or low self-esteem, struggling to balance personal and professional demands.

Their goals often include improving relationships, building confidence, and navigating life transitions. They seek a safe, supportive space to better understand themselves, break free from cycles holding them back, and develop strategies to create a more fulfilling, balanced life.
