Welcome to Katerpillar Counselling
As you enter this space, we recognise a quiet courage —
the moment you finally allow yourself to pause after carrying so much for so long.
Like a seed breaking through the soil, or a caterpillar preparing to take flight,
your journey may feel delicate, uncertain, or slow.
Yet every step inward carries deep meaning.
Whether you’re navigating relationship tensions,
feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety,
seeking clarity within yourself,
or holding a pain that feels difficult to name—
you do not have to walk this part alone.
Here, we move gently.
We listen to what whispers beneath the silence,
making room for a sense of calm rarely found elsewhere.
And over time, something begins to shift,
softly, naturally — as inner change finds its way back into daily life and relationships.

I'm Kat -- your counsellor and a steady companion in your healing journey.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches, integrating Narrative Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, Play Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches.
Rather than applying techniques onto you, therapy is gently shaped within a safe relationship -- creating a space guided by your pace, your story, and the meaning you give to your experiences.
Across cultures, languages, and life stages, I support individuals navigating anxiety, stress, relationship tensions, and emotions that can feel difficult to express elsewhere.
I hold a simple belief:
Healing rarely arrives through dramatic breakthroughs.
It begins quietly — through small shifts, moments of clarity, and the subtle change in breath when you feel safe enough to be yourself.
Our Services
Individual Counselling
When the world feels loud and overwhelming, this becomes your quiet space to land.
Together, we gently untangle looping thoughts and heavy emotions,
reconnecting with parts of yourself that have been waiting for care and attention.
We walk with you toward clarity, groundingness, nurturing 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 taking sides, but by allowing both voices be heard with respect and compassion.
Together, we explore what lies beneath the surface:
the unmet needs, the repeated cycles, and the tenderness often hidden behind conflict.
Small shifts can allow 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.
NDIS Support Counselling
When daily life calls for extra support and a gentler pace, this is a place to walk alongside you.
When emotions, stress, or life transitions begin to weigh on everyday living, this becomes a steady and safe space for support.
Within understanding and acceptance, we gently develop emotional regulation, communication skills, and inner stability,
allowing change to unfold at a pace that feels manageable.
Through trauma-informed and personalised support, confidence and capacity gradually grow — supporting participation in daily life, relationships, and community,
one step at a time, in a rhythm that is truly yours.
Real voices. Quiet courage.
These words were not written for an audience.
They emerged from moments of honest reflection—
and left here gently,
in case they resonate with something true within 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.
