Hi, I’m Cate, a Counsellor passionate about real, lasting change
— from the inside out.
I support people who feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected — from themselves, their relationships, or their parenting — to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and shift the patterns that are keeping them in survival mode.
I’m a qualified professional counsellor, and I work holistically — blending evidence-based frameworks like CBT, ACT, Attachment Theory and the Circle of Security with Somatic practices including Kinesiology. This means we’re not just talking about change — we’re working with your whole system: body, mind, and nervous system — to rewire old protective patterns and build new, steadier ways of being.
At the heart of my work is relational healing — how you relate to yourself, your emotions, your body, your boundaries, your values, and the people around you. Whether you’re navigating relationship stress, parenting challenges, identity shifts, or simply craving more space to breathe — we work together to steady your inner world so you can move with more clarity, confidence and calm in your outer one.
You don’t need to have everything “figured out.” Maybe you're often overwhelmed, find it hard to stay organised or follow through, or feel like your emotions run the show. You might wonder if there’s something deeper going on — like ADHD — or just feel like the world moves too fast for your system. This is a space where we gently get curious, make sense of what’s happening, and find sustainable ways to support the life you actually want.
Together, we explore the roots of your current struggles — from childhood patterns to belief systems and nervous system imprints. From there, we rebuild — toward greater self-trust, steadier relationships, stronger boundaries, and a deeper connection to who you are beneath the noise.
Whether you're:
feeling anxious, emotionally reactive, or unsure of yourself
navigating challenging relationships or communication patterns
struggling to parent a big-feeling child and stay grounded
or simply longing to feel more centred, clear and capable…
…I’ll meet you where you are — with warmth, curiosity and care — and walk alongside you as you reconnect with your voice, your needs, and your strength.
Let’s create change that isn’t just skin deep — but nervous-system deep. The kind that helps you feel steady within, and more connected between.
My Background + Qualifications
I’m a qualified counsellor with a deep commitment to holistic, embodied healing. My training spans evidence-based psychological approaches, somatic practices, kinesiology, and nervous system regulation — all rooted in the understanding that real change happens when we work with both the mind and the body.
My professional foundations include:
B. Business & Dip Counselling (Child Development & Effective Parenting; Relationship Counselling & Conflict Resolution; Working with Children & Adolescents)
Advanced training in Somatic Therapy, Kinesiology, Nervous System Regulation
Ongoing professional development in Attachment Theory, Trauma-informed care, Relational Therapy, and The Circle of Security Parenting™ framework
But more than the qualifications, my work is grounded in lived experience. My own journey through anxiety, burnout, disconnection, and self-abandonment led me to explore the deeper ‘why’ behind my patterns — and ultimately, to the very tools and frameworks I now use to support others.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. My style is intuitive, relational, and integrative — combining counselling with body-based practices that help access the deeper wisdom held in the nervous system. I walk alongside my clients as they explore their emotional landscape, reclaim their voice, and build the capacity to live, love, and parent with greater authenticity and ease.
