Kate is a registered counsellor in Buderim with experience supporting adults and couples through periods of transition, relational strain, and inner realignment. Her work is grounded in evidence-based practices while remaining attentive to the deeper patterns that shape how people relate to themselves, others, and their lives. She brings a calm, steady presence to therapy, creating a space where clients feel both supported and gently challenged to engage with what is real.
With over a decade of experience in therapeutic and reflective work, Kate has supported clients presenting with anxiety, relational difficulties, identity transitions, burnout, grief, and long-standing patterns of emotional exhaustion. She has a particular interest in working with people who are high-functioning yet internally overwhelmed, those who have insight into their difficulties but struggle to translate understanding into lasting change. Her approach supports clients to move beyond symptom management toward greater internal coherence and self-trust.
Kate’s therapeutic style is integrative and relational, drawing on contemporary counselling theory, somatic awareness, attachment-informed practice, and nervous system regulation. She understands human experience as multifaceted, with emotional, cognitive, bodily, and meaning-based dimensions deeply intertwined. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all techniques, she works collaboratively, tailoring therapy to the client’s lived values, capacity, and readiness for change.
In her work with couples, Kate supports partners who find themselves at a crossroads, where familiar ways of relating no longer work and honest conversations feel difficult or overdue. She helps couples slow patterns of reactivity, clarify unspoken needs, and discern what repair is genuinely possible. Whether supporting reconnection or respectful separation, her focus remains on clarity, integrity, and reducing harm. Across all her work, Kate is known for her depth, steadiness, and commitment to therapy that leads to meaningful, sustainable change.
