​

Hi, my name is Katy. I have been working with kids for nearly 30 years, firstly as an educator and then as a counsellor. I am a registered psychologist, providing child therapy, who has trained in developmental assessment and working with the effects of trauma. I have trained in Narrative Therapy through the Dulwich Centre and in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute and am well-versed in current research on child development.
I am the ATAPS-accredited child therapist used by the Deli Women and Children’s Centre in Eastlakes to work with children aged 0-12 affected by domestic violence. I am available to work with families, consult with schools and with other services on issues affecting child wellbeing.

 

In working with children and their families, I look for what is held precious and how this is honoured in the actions people take to support children. I recognise that each child and family situation is different and that there are a lot of pressures on families in our contemporary culture that can bring stress to family situations and children’s lives.
