Hi I'm Kat, a Psychologist. 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), Acceptance and Commitment 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.
