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.
Welcome, I’m Kate
I’m a Clinical Counsellor, Accredited EMDR Practitionerand mum of two, based on the Central Coast of NSW.
I work with adults and young people who are carrying more than they let on — whether that’s trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, grief, life changes or simply feeling like something isn’t quite right.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth and tailored to the person in front of me. I don’t believe in putting people in boxes, and I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be yourself, without judgement.
A soft place to land, wherever you’re starting from.
I offer in-person appointments from the Central Coast NSW and Telehealth appointments Australia-wide.

When one hour a week doesn't feel like enough.
Sometimes meaningful change needs dedicated time and space.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing) Intensive Therapy Packages provide a focused and supportive approach to processing experiences, memories or patterns that still feel emotionally stuck.
Delivered across two weeks, intensives allow us to build momentum and stay connected to the work in a way that isn't always possible with longer gaps between sessions. In person on the Central Coast of NSW and online.

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.
