Kate loves to work with children, adolescents, and young adults who may be neurodiverse or experiencing anxiety, depression, or trauma related mental health difficulties. She has experience in both intervention and assessment with neurodiverse children and their families. She is also experienced in the treatment of trauma and adverse childhood experiences for people of all ages. Kate takes a neuroaffirming and brain-based approach with her clients, and recognises how important parents and the wider support network are in working with children and young people.
Kate is trained in and utilises a range of evidence-based interventions including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Play Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Biofeedback techniques (such as Heart Rate Variability). Additionally, she has a great understanding of the impact our nervous system, attachment, and development have on us as children, teens, and adults.
