About Cate
I work with people who are navigating change, difficult seasons, or looking for support as they make sense of what they are carrying. My own experiences with change and difficulty have shaped the way I show up for clients, with warmth, curiosity, humility, and genuine respect for each person's story.
I offer a supportive, collaborative space where you can be yourself and explore what might help you move forward. My approach is primarily person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert in your own life. I also draw from narrative therapy, EMDR, mindfulness-informed practice, solution-focused therapy, and practical tools from cognitive behavior therapy when they are helpful and align with your goals.
You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. I aim to offer a supportive, collaborative space where you can be yourself, make sense of what you are carrying, and explore what might help you move forward. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey.
What I Help With
Living with persistent worry or tension can make even daily tasks feel overwhelming. Together, we'll explore the root of your anxiety and develop practical strategies to help you feel grounded and in control.
A diagnosis, chronic illness, or health change can impact every part of your life. I offer compassionate support to help you process difficult emotions, adapt to new realities, and reclaim a sense of agency.
Whether it's a career shift, relationship change, relocation, or loss, transitions can feel disorienting. Counselling can help you navigate uncertainty with greater clarity and confidence.
When emotions feel too big to manage, it's hard to think clearly or move forward. I'll help you understand what's beneath the surface and build the emotional resilience you need to regain balance.
If you're questioning who you are or who you want to become, you're not alone. I provide a reflective space where you can reconnect with your values, strengths, and sense of purpose.
Burnout is more than exhaustion — it's a signal that something needs to change. Together, we'll identify the patterns draining your energy and build a path toward sustainable well-being.
