Welcome
Hello, I'm Kath —
a quiet ally for hard work.
I'm a psychotherapist working with adults across the Wimmera and greater Western Victoria. My practice is a quiet, confidential space where you can slow down, be heard, and begin to make sense of what you're carrying — without judgement and without rush.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and the kinds of life transitions that can leave us feeling unmoored. Some clients come during a clear crisis; others arrive simply knowing that something needs to shift. Both are welcome here.
Living and working in a rural community myself, I understand the particular pressures of regional life — isolation, the seasons of farming and small-town living, the long distances, and the quiet strength it takes to ask for support. Whatever brings you to this page, I'm glad you're here.

My Approach
Gentle, integrative, and led by you.
My work draws on a blend of modalities — person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed care. Rather than fitting you into a method, I adapt to what you bring to each session, drawing on the approach that best supports the work in front of us.
At the heart of all of it is the relationship between us. Lasting change rarely comes from technique alone; it grows from feeling genuinely safe, seen, and respected. Sessions are held in a confidential, comfortable setting where there's room to think, feel, and, when you're ready, to begin again.

Specialisations
What I most often work with.
Every story is different, but these are the threads that come up most in the room. If something here resonates — or if it doesn't quite fit but you still feel the pull to reach out — please do.
Anxiety & overwhelm
From persistent worry to panic — quietening an over-firing nervous system.
Depression & low mood
Working through heaviness, numbness, and the loss of colour from daily life.
Trauma & PTSD
Gentle, paced trauma-informed work — including single incident, complex and intergenerational.
Grief & loss
For bereavement, miscarriage, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a way of life.
Rural & farming life
Drought, isolation, succession, and the particular weight of working the land.
Relationships
Couples counselling and individual work on patterns, communication and connection.
Life transitions
Career change, separation, parenthood, retirement, identity shifts.
Burnout & boundaries
For those who give a lot — carers, teachers, nurses, parents, partners.

From first message to ongoing work.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. By the time you've sent that first message, you've already done something brave. Here's what tends to happen next.
- 01
Reach out
Send a short message or call. There's no script — a sentence about what's bringing you here is plenty.
- 02
A free 15-minute call
We talk briefly, with no pressure. You can ask anything, and we both get a feel for whether it's a good fit.
- 03
Your first session
A gentle 50 minutes. I listen, you set the pace. By the end we'll have a sense of where the work might begin.
- 04
Ongoing work
Weekly or fortnightly sessions, in person or via telehealth. We review together so the work stays meaningful.
From Clients
Quiet stories, deep change.
Shared with permission. Names and identifying details have been changed to protect privacy.
"Kath made me feel safe enough to say the things I'd been carrying for years. Her quiet attention changed how I sit with myself."
"I came in flattened by grief. I left, slowly, with my feet back under me. I can't recommend her warmth and skill highly enough."
"What I appreciated most was how unhurried the work was. Kath let me lead, and somehow that made the change happen faster."
