Freedom Unfolding

 
 
 
 

Hi, I’m Kate. I am a general psychotherapist, somatic (body) psychotherapist, counsellor, meditation teacher, embodiment teacher and breathing practitioner. I help people anywhere in Australia and people outside Australia.

I help people experience:

*emotional processing and emotional regulation *nervous system regulation and becoming more grounded *releasing body tension patterns and ways psychological pain shows in the body *developing self-acceptance and self-confidence *improved relationships and communication skills *making contact with their inner wisdom and intuition *improved energy regulation *becoming more embodied (living in the body) *the resources of the body *meditation skills *personal growth *spiritual growth (if desired) *finding more inner spaciousness

Because of the ways I work, I help people with a variety of challenges. Areas I can help with include:

• Anxiety, depression, difficult emotions, emotional numbness, and ‘panic’ 

• Trauma; insecure attachment relationship patterns

• Low self-esteem; shame

• Relationship challenges; social anxiety

• Limiting thoughts and beliefs; internal conflicts

• Chronic pain; chronic fatigue

What’s so beautiful about psychotherapy is that it opens us to increasingly greater and greater freedom as we progressively, gradually free ourselves from limitations, through a process of unfolding. Through this process we really get to know ourselves, and discover new ways of experiencing ourselves, others, and our lives.

As we tap into our inner experience, inner healing processes, intuition and inner wisdom, we experience emotional shifts, and insights emerge. Insight into what is keeping us stuck helps us move our lives forward in more beneficial, more chosen directions. And we discover ways of healing difficult emotions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviours.

I offer a gentle, unjudgemental, compassionate, collaborative, personalised, non-pathologising approach, emphasising safety. I work to help empower you, to help you build on your strengths, gain increased calm, self-compassion, clarity and new skills, and discover new possibilities and ways of living. I work with the inner wisdom of your own system and its inner healing processes.
