Hi, I’m Katherine. I have worked as a therapist for 13 years and Psychologist for 8 years and I aim to make your journey into therapy as welcoming and empowering as possible. I understand that seeing a psychologist can feel daunting, so I strive to create a friendly and relaxed environment where we can address your needs and meet your goals. I am passionate about supporting people to strengthen self-awareness and boost confidence in handling life’s challenges. I am guided by your therapeutic goals which may include exploring practical coping strategies, developing self-awareness or more positive thinking and behavioural patterns.
The front door to the therapy space
I have worked in a variety of settings including primary mental health, ACC sensitive claims, and in youth mental health settings. I have spent the bulk of my career specialising in primary mental health brief intervention so have developed a particular skill set in providing clients with effective assessment and treatment within time constraints
I am available Wednesday to Friday for therapy sessions either online or in person. I also occasionally offer online evening sessions. -Please note at this stage I am not able to accept any further referrals for ACC sensitive claims due to being at capacity-

During the initial 1-2 sessions we will work towards developing a comprehensive understanding of your presenting issue, and collaborate on a plan of action moving forward. As part of this we discuss what changes we would expect to see, and administer baseline psychometrics as a way of monitoring treatment progress. Treatment progress will be proactively monitored throughout our work together.
