Katrina Carter Psychotherapist

My approach to supporting people is person centred, which means listening to each individual and working with them in a way that is comfortable and tailored for them. Acknowledging that each person is the expert in their own life (even though they may not feel like it), I work in collaboration with them to facilitate change. Using an integrative approach, I draw on many therapeutic models according to the needs of the person I am working with. ​ My work is trauma informed, understanding that because of our experiences, our minds, bodies and brains have developed to cope. Our ways of coping get us through those times, but eventually these ways of being can get in the way. Sometimes we're not even aware that this is what has happened for us and our minds and bodies draw attention to it in all sorts of ways, whether it's through feelings of anxiety, anger, hopelessness, depression, not feeling, body aches and pains, and so on. It's our minds way of telling us we need to take a look.
