Hi I'm Kat, a Psychologist. If you’re looking for support in areas such as anxiety, depression, stress management, anger management, workplace stress, body and self-esteem, bereavement and grief, neurodevelopmental disorders, parenting support and relationships, or perhaps you just need a listening ear, then I would love to support you in this step. I know that seeing a Psychologist can be really daunting and can sometimes seem very clinical. I promise you won’t be laying on any couches in my sessions (unless you want to!). • I spend the time getting to know you, understanding your passions, your strengths, what drives you, your goals and exploring things you would like to change. • I take therapy at your pace, however slowly or quickly you would like to go. • I believe that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are linked to both our biological make-up and environmental frameworks and work to explore these with you, so I get a vibrant picture of how you came to be uniquely you! MODALITIES / APPROACH Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness based Cognitive Theory, Strengths Based Therapy (Humanistic Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Therapy, Play Therapy, Biopsychosocial Therapy, Behaviour Analysis, Family Systems Therapy

Hello, My name is Aimee. As a psychotherapist, I have a passion and commitment in assisting you understand how you came to be “you”. My aim as a clinician is to provide a warm, safe, non-judgemental, and trusting environment to explore whatever it might be that you bring: pain, anxiety, depression, stress, confusions, anger, lack of anger; abuse from others, self-abuse, inner critic and sense of self. You may bring your struggles with current relationships, past relationships; guilt, shame, regrets, grief, loss and disappointments. As a trauma-informed clinician I hold your hand through deep exploration of unresolved conflicts that may be manifesting from past relationships and/or experiences from childhood. Creating a space to heal and develop understanding and acceptance of self, is what inspires me in working alongside people. I work holistically assessing you as a whole person, not just your symptoms or diagnosis. I work flexibly in my therapeutic approach and integrate modalities to best suit you. Attachment-based approach used in individual, family, and couples therapy to develop a deep understanding and therapeutic relationship to help you mend, rebuild trust, or recover from fractured family relationships. I work under a psychodynamic framework - our feelings, motives, behaviours, and decisions are powerfully influenced by our past experiences. My work with clients is to a largely informed by neuroscience and existential psychotherapy to provide you with compassionate, evidence-based + individualised therapeutic change.
