Rate Katrina Vlcek

Hello, and welcome.

My name is Katrina, and I am a Registered Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). I hold a Bachelor of Counselling and have several years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through life's challenges. I provide a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported to make the changes you wish to make at your own pace.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, grief and loss, trauma, burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, and neurodivergent experiences. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who have received a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis, helping them better understand themselves, reduce self-criticism, and develop strategies that work with their strengths rather than against them.

My approach is trauma-informed and neuro-affirming, recognising that every person's experiences are unique. I tailor therapy to each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on your needs, I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, expressive therapies, and strength-based interventions.

Taking the first step can be the hardest part, and I want you to know you don't have to do it alone. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater wellbeing, resilience, and self-understanding.
