Hi, I'm Kate

If you’ve been carrying too much for too long — you're not alone.

You don’t have to hold it all by yourself anymore.

I’m here to meet you with warmth, attunement and nervous-system-aware support, so you can soften, breathe, and gently return to yourself — at a pace that feels safe.

I’m Kate — a trauma-informed counsellor supporting women to regulate their nervous systems, rebuild trust in their bodies, and heal with gentleness — not pressure or performance.

Pathway 1

Individual Counselling

From burnout to inner steadiness.
A quiet return to yourself.

Burnout doesn’t arrive all at once. It builds — through over-care, over-functioning, emotional numbness, anxiety, and the slow disconnection from your body’s signals.

Together, we honour your nervous system as the wise guide it is.  Instead of asking “what’s wrong with me?”, we explore:

• What has your body been protecting you from?
• How has your system learned to keep you safe?
• What would it feel like to be met, instead of holding it all alone?

I combine trauma-informed counselling with polyvagal awareness to help you understand your patterns — spirals, shutdowns, urgency, collapse — not with judgement, but with clarity and care. We’ll explore:

• What moves you into survival
• What brings you back into presence
• How to work with your energy, not override it
• How to rebuild trust in your body’s rhythms

This isn’t about fixing.  It’s about restoring your capacity for presence, connection, and vitality — in your own time.

Pathway 3

Religious & Cult Trauma Recovery

From spiritual disconnection to inner truth.
Reclaiming voice, identity and intuition.

Leaving a high-demand religious or spiritual group can leave you feeling disoriented, ashamed, or unsure of your own truth. These environments often seem caring on the surface — which can make the harm harder to name.

But what you’re feeling makes sense.
Your nervous system adapted to survive.
Now it’s asking for something more honest. More you.

In our work, we explore:

• How your system learned to survive
• How to gently rebuild safety
• How to untangle internalised beliefs
• How to reweave identity, voice, and embodied truth

This work is trauma-informed, body-aware, and deeply respectful.
No pressure. No performance. No urgency.
Just a space where you get to choose your own pace.
