Kate is a warm, genuine, easy going and non-judgemental counsellor who is passionate about improving the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of the community.

She takes a person centred and strengths-based approach to create a safe environment for her clients to be raw, open and honest as they unpack, explore and process any thoughts, feelings, beliefs and experiences holding them back, to make space for growth, transformation and change.

Kate is especially passionate about supporting women during the perinatal period as they navigate their transition into Matrescence – “the transition into Motherhood” and the complex changes that occur in this life stage to ensure that Mothers get the nurturing, support, and gentle encouragement to engage in proactive self-care practices needed to thrive as individuals and parents.

Kate has a Bachelor of Counselling and Coaching, experience as a telephone crisis supporter for lifeline and youth intake worker for Headspace, plus over a decade managing a boutique health and fitness business here on the coast (Landete Health). Kate is professionally trained to provide a unique, holistic blend of counselling and coaching to not only support the mental and emotional wellbeing of her clients during difficult times, but also to empower her clients to learn new coping skills and ways of thinking, uncover their personal strengths and inner resources, build resilience, confidence and self-belief that can be drawn on in any situation to overcome challenges and live a life of meaning, purpose, and passion.

Kate integrates a variety of tools from CBT, positive psychology, narrative therapy, ACT, DBT, motivational interviewing, EMDR and mindfulness to support each individual and their unique needs.

Kate currently offers counselling and wellness coaching sessions for men, women, and young people over the age of 12 in person, online over the phone and as walk and talk sessions.
