For the people who keep saying "I'm fine"..
Even though you're carrying far more than anyone realises.
You might be here because…
You might be the one everyone relies on. The one who keeps showing up, putting everyone else first, and saying, “I’m fine,” even when part of you knows you’re not.
The world often tells us to stay strong, keep busy, and push through. But strength doesn’t have to mean carrying everything on your own.
Whether you’re carrying anxiety, trauma, grief, the challenges of motherhood, a major life change, or simply feeling unlike yourself lately, you don’t have to do it alone.
Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay. A space to slow down, feel heard without judgement, and gently make sense of what’s been weighing you down.
Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, helping you process difficult experiences, reconnect with yourself, and feel more at home within yourself.
Support is available through counselling, EMDR therapy and focused EMDR Intensive Therapy Packages, depending on what feels right for you and where you are in your journey.

PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor
Accredited EMDR Practitioner (EMDRAA)
Clinical Resource Therapist
Welcome,
Hi, I'm Kate. Therapist, mum of two, dog lover, based on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW.
I work with adults and young people who are carrying more than they let on. Maybe that's anxiety, trauma, grief, overwhelm, navigating life's changes, or just feeling like something isn't quite right.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth and shaped around you. I don't believe in putting people in boxes, and I want therapy to feel like a place where you can show up as you are, without judgement, pressure or feeling like you need to have it all together.
I offer counselling, EMDR Therapy and Resource Therapy (parts work), including EMDR Intensives for those wanting more focused time to work through experiences, beliefs or patterns that may still be affecting them.
Sometimes that means exploring how past experiences are showing up in your life today, understanding the different parts of yourself that might be struggling, or finding ways to feel a little more grounded and confident moving forward.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach. We'll work together to find what feels right for you.
A soft place to land, wherever you're starting from.
I offer in-person appointments in East Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW, and Telehealth appointments Australia-wide.

Counselling
A safe, supportive space where you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Together, we'll gently explore what's been weighing you down, helping you build insight, develop practical strategies, and move towards greater calm, confidence, and wellbeing.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process and heal from distressing memories and traumatic experiences, so they no longer feel as overwhelming or emotionally charged.

EMDR Intensives
A different rhythm of therapy, with longer, dedicated sessions to explore and process experiences, beliefs or patterns that may still be affecting you. More time and space to do the work, without trying to fit everything into an hour.

Perinatal/Birth Story
From preparing for parenthood to pregnancy, birth and the early years of motherhood, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we can gently explore your experiences, make space for what has been difficult, and support you to move forward with greater understanding.

Resource Therapy
Resource Therapy helps you understand the different parts of yourself and why certain feelings or patterns keep showing up. Together, we'll gently explore what's behind these reactions and work through what's keeping you stuck, helping you feel more confident and like yourself again.
When one hour a week doesn't feel like enough.
Maybe you've been meaning to work through something for a while, but between work, family and everything else, finding time for yourself keeps getting pushed aside.
Or perhaps you've tried weekly therapy and feel like you're finally getting somewhere, only for your session to end.
Maybe there's a particular experience, belief or familiar pattern that you understand, but it still affects how you feel or respond today.
EMDR Intensives offer a different rhythm of therapy.
With 7 hours of dedicated therapy and support across two weeks, we have more time to prepare, explore and process what's been weighing on you, without the usual gaps between weekly appointments.
I also bring in Resource Therapy (parts work) where appropriate, helping us understand and work with the different parts of you that may still be holding onto difficult experiences.
It's not about rushing or pushing harder. It's about having more time and space to do the work, at a pace that respects your needs.
✔ 7 hours of therapy and support
✔ Personalised preparation and workbook
✔ Follow-up integration session
✔ Limited intensive places available each month
Due to the focused nature of this work, Kate takes on a limited number of intensive clients each month to ensure dedicated care and support.

Taking the first step
Reaching out for support can feel like one of the hardest steps, especially when you've been carrying everything on your own. If you're feeling nervous, uncertain, or wondering whether counselling is right for you, that's completely okay. You don't have to have the right words or have everything figured out before you begin.
Appointments are available in person at The Coastal Wellness Cottage in East Gosford (Central Coast), online via Telehealth, or over the phone. Simply use the booking link below to find a time that suits you.
If you can't find a suitable appointment or have any questions before booking, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Please note that Kate is currently unable to accept new Victims Support Scheme (formerly Victims of Crime) referrals at this time.
