Welcome to Katerpillar Counselling
When you step into this space, we recognise the quiet courage it takes—
the courage of someone who has been carrying so much
and is finally allowing themselves to pause.
Like a seed pressing through the soil,
or a caterpillar preparing for its wings,
your journey may feel tender, uncertain, or slow.
But every small step you take toward yourself matters.
Whether you’re navigating relationship tensions,
feeling weighed down by stress or anxiety,
searching for clarity in who you are,
or holding pain that feels too deep to name—
you won’t walk this part alone.
Here, we move gently.
We listen to what your heart has been trying to say,
in the stillness you may not have had elsewhere.
And without you even realising it,
your transformation begins—softly, naturally, in this moment.

I'm Kat -- a counsellor and a steady companion in your healing process.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based practice, drawing from Narrative Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, Play Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches. Rather than applying techniques to you, I weave these approaches gently -- shaping a space that fits you: your pace, your story, your way of making meaning.
Across cultures, languages, and life stages, I’ve walked with people through anxiety, stress, relationship tensions, and emotional pain they had no words for elsewhere.
I hold a simple belief:
Healing rarely arrives in dramatic breakthroughs. It begins softly — through small shifts, moments of clarity, and the way you breathe changes when you feel safe enough to be fully yourself.
Our Services
Individual Counselling
When the world feels loud and overwhelming, this becomes your quiet space to land.
Here, you can gently untangle looping thoughts, make sense of emotions that feel too heavy, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been waiting for attention.
We walk with you toward clarity, grounding, and a kinder relationship with your inner world.
Couples Counselling
When communication falters and connection feels strained, this is a place to rebuild together — not by choosing sides, but by helping both voices be heard with respect and compassion.
Together, we look beneath the surface:
the unmet needs, the repeated cycles,
the tender places where longing hides behind conflict.
Even small shifts can let light back through the cracks.
Family Counselling
In many families, love is present—
but the language of love can get lost in silence, tension, or misunderstanding.
We create a safe space for each person
to speak, to listen, and to feel understood. Through guided conversations, families learn to recognise one another’s needs and rebuild emotional safety together.
Because when even one relationship softens, the whole family begins to change.
Real voices. Quiet courage.
These words were not written for an audience.
They were written in honest moments of reflection—
and left here gently,
in case they meet something true in you.

Rebuilding confidence after racial discrimination and emotional trauma
I grew up in a loving, supportive community. Life was joyful and full. But after moving to Australia, I experienced harsh discrimination because of my skin colour. It shattered me. I became deeply self-conscious. I avoided eye contact. I couldn’t walk into shopping malls. Shame followed me everywhere.
Kat met me in that space. With warmth, acceptance, and encouragement, she walked with me through 20 sessions that helped me rebuild my sense of self, piece by piece.
She didn’t just listen — she helped me gently dismantle the trauma and reconnect with the parts of me I thought I had lost.
Today, I’m no longer afraid. I walk into stores with confidence. I meet eyes, smile, even greet strangers. I’ve come back to life — and come back to myself.
Quiet Questions, gentle answers...
Some questions we’ve prepared for, even before you speak them. Before you’re ready to ask, a gentle answer awaits you here.
Q： Do I need to book an appointment? How can I schedule a session?
We want every visitor to receive dedicated support, so all sessions are by appointment. You can easily contact us through our website booking form, whatsApp, phone, or email. We’ll thoughtfully help you arrange the the time and format of counselling that suits you best.
Q： Is everything I share kept confidential?
Your trust means everything to us. All conversations are strictly confidential, allowing you to express yourself freely in a safe, respectful, and ethically grounded counselling space.
Q： Can I choose between online and in-person sessions?
We understand that everyone’s needs are different, so we offer both online and in-person counselling in Sydney. You’re welcome to choose whichever feels most comfort. We’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
Q： Do I need to have a serious problem to seek counselling?
Not at all. Whether you’re navigating minor challenges, emotional ups and downs, stress, anxiety, or simply want to better understand yourself better, we’re here to support you. Counselling is for anyone seeking growth or a safe place to reflect.
Q： How should I prepare for my first session?
Just bring an open mind. If there are specific topics you’d like to explore - about your emotions, relationships, or daily stresses - feel free to note them down beforehand. This is your safe space—you’re free to be yourself.
Some answers are already waiting.
And when you're ready, we're here—with ears to listen, and space to begin.
