More about Katharine
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- AASW
With over 19 years of experience as a qualified counsellor and social worker, I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges, find meaning, and discover a clear direction forward. I support clients experiencing a range of issues that can disrupt daily life, including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, addiction, and loneliness.
For the past 16 years, I have also specialised in working with new parents and couples, with a particular focus on the unique challenges of transitioning into parenthood.
My practice incorporates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals and couples identify and express deeper, more vulnerable emotions. Together, we work to interrupt negative patterns of interaction such as being critical or withdrawing, learn to regulate overwhelming feelings and thoughts, and to communicate needs and feelings constructively. Whether you are navigating conflict or seeking practical, authentic ways to stay strongly connected during the demanding child-rearing years, I am here to help you build deeper understanding, appreciation and connection.
I bring warmth, active engagement, and humour to our sessions, creating a safe space where you feel truly heard and supported.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
