About Katie

As a psychologist I like to work collaboratively with you on the things that are important to you. Through creating a safe but curious environment, we can gain deeper understanding of yourself and use your own inherent skills, alongside evidenced based interventions, to make the changes that will improve your wellbeing. I tailor my treatment approach based on what you as an individual needs and what the research evidence says works for particular a problem.

 

I have experience in working with people from adolescence to adulthood with a broad range of difficulties. Before coming into private practice, I worked for many years in community services in the UK and Australia assisting people with a variety of complex needs, including adults and young people experiencing homelessness, mental health, addiction, and trauma.  

Why I love working at The Glow Centre

I love working at The Glow Centre because I feel privileged to go on a journey with each new client I meet where I’m entrusted with their life story and given the opportunity to support them through life’s challenges.  

Outside the practice

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and young daughters, walking my dogs, reading, socialising with friends, and travelling.
