Therapy

Therapy with Kate is tailored to your situation — whether you come alone, with a partner, or as a family. What matters is finding an approach that fits where you are and what you need.

Couples Therapy

Relationships go through periods of real difficulty — communication breaks down, distance grows, trust is damaged, or you simply find yourselves stuck in the same patterns. Couples therapy offers a structured space to slow down, understand what's happening between you, and work toward something different.

Kate works with couples at all stages — early relationship challenges, navigating major life transitions together (like becoming parents), rebuilding after a rupture, or deciding how to move forward when the relationship may be ending.

Family Therapy & Separation

Families reorganise themselves over time — through separation, divorce, blending, or simply the changing needs of children as they grow. These transitions, while normal, can place significant strain on everyone involved.

Kate works with families navigating separation and co-parenting, conflict between parents and adolescents, and the emotional adjustment that comes when a family's shape changes. The focus is always on supporting connection and reducing harm — particularly for children caught in the middle.

Becoming a Parent

The perinatal period — from conception through the early years — is one of the most significant and underestimated transitions a person can go through. It reshapes identity, relationships and sense of self in ways that can be joyful, disorienting and everything in between.

Kate has extensive experience supporting parents through fertility challenges and pregnancy loss, postnatal depression and anxiety, birth trauma, parent-infant bonding difficulties, and the relational strain that new parenthood often places on partnerships.

Individual Therapy

Sometimes you need a space that's just for you — to process a relationship that's ended, to understand patterns you keep repeating, or to find your footing after something significant has shifted.

Kate works with individuals navigating relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the emotional complexity that comes with the territory of being human. Her approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in evidence.
