Overview
Cate is a compassionate Psychologist of 5 years and is currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology.
Cate's aim is to create a safe space for her clients to feel comfortable to share without pressure or judgement. She believes in a 'client centred' approach to her practice and she tailors her communication and approach to assist clients to share their thoughts and feelings in a relaxed and warm environment.
Cate is constantly striving to improve her practice and ensures the psychological treatment that is delivered is current and evidence based.
