Hi, I'm Kate. As a therapist, I create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported—without judgment. My approach is all about meeting you where you are and finding what works best for you. Originally from Ireland, I moved to Vancouver in 2011 to begin a new chapter in my life. I draw on both my professional expertise and personal journey to guide and support you through whatever challenges you’re facing today.
Whether you’re new to counselling, navigating fresh challenges, or simply looking for someone new to talk to, I’m here to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Although life’s struggles can feel isolating, you are not alone.
Change and growth are possible! Finding the right therapist is an important step in working through life’s challenges. If you’re seeking someone to help process your emotions, thoughts, and feelings, I invite you to book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re the right fit to work together.

I work with clients with a wide range of challenges. Some people have a specific topic in mind and others aren't sure where to start. Clients often come with a lack of self-confidence, social anxiety, relationship issues and substance use issues. During the first session, we'll work together to develop a plan for our time together. After that, we delve deeper into root causes of their challenges.

Meeting my clients where they are, I apply a mixture of approaches appropriate to the clients situation. My clients have enjoyed learning more about parts therapy, some clients like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and some clients have benefited from Narrative therapy. Once I know which approach you like best, I will work with you to see what works best.
