Meet Katy: I am a passionate talk-therapist, educator, leader, and parent, bringing a wealth of experience from over 15 years of working with young people in varied settings and systems. From remote Central Australia to the Adelaide Hills and the Murray Mallee region, I’ve been privileged to work in a diverse range of cultural, socioeconomic, and ideological environments. I specialise in working with adolescents (10 – 25 years of age). My areas of interest include wellbeing education, grief & loss, trauma-informed care, and suicidality. 

I’m a keen advocate and ally for young people, so my commitment to their voice and experience permeates my practice. My work is underpinned by the philosophies of Person-Centred, Dialectical Behaviour and Narrative Therapies, and is also informed by attachment, trauma-informed care and emotional agility research.
