EXECUTIVE COACHING

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT
PLACE IF...

You're navigating leadership transitions and need support with the personal challenges that come with professional growth: imposter syndrome, sustainable boundaries, or leading authentically rather than performing a version of leadership that doesn't fit.

You're at a career crossroads and want to make decisions based on clarity, not fear or expectation.

You recognise that workplace challenges often have deeper roots, and you're ready to work with someone who understands both the psychological patterns and professional realities women face in leadership.

Kate, registered counsellor and therapist at Kindred Melbourne

BA (PSYCH)  M. COUNSELLING - 20+ Years experience

Helping women understand themselves more clearly, make confident decisions, and build lives that genuinely reflect who they a

MEET YOUR COUNSELLORS

HI, I'M KATE

I'm a postgraduate-qualified and registered counsellor/therapist who brings clinical training, trauma-informed practice, and two decades of professional experience to our work together. I specialise in helping women move through anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing, using evidence-based approaches that make sense and support real change.

 

If you're ready for honest, grounded conversations that help you understand yourself better and build a life that actually fits who you are, let's talk.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Calm, knowledgeable support that meets you where you are.

01

ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP & PRACTICAL TOOLS

You'll work with someone who listens deeply and engages actively. Between sessions, you'll have practical strategies and tools you can apply immediately. Because change happens in your life, not just in the therapy room. We work together to build sustainable momentum from awareness through to action.

02

PATTERNS THAT SERVE WHO YOU'RE BECOMING

The work focuses on understanding the patterns shaping your life right now, building capacity to make different choices, and creating the kind of life that genuinely reflects who you are. You bring insight and self-knowledge already - we'll build on that foundation together.

03

EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH, TAILORED TO YOU

We draw on multiple therapeutic modalities (outlined in more detail on our therapeutic approach page) and adapt them to your situation, readiness, and what you're working on. 

 

This means the approach evolves as you do.

Chloe*, 32 years old

I leave sessions feeling clearer, lighter, and more like myself

The work hasn’t been about fixing myself or forcing change. It’s been about understanding what’s really going on, and that’s where things have shifted. I leave sessions feeling clearer, lighter, and more like myself for the first time in a long time - perhaps ever. Kate is insightful, thoughtful, and incredibly good at what she does.

Chloe*, 32 years old

Claudia*, 30 years old

Melbourne and online

I feel understood rather than analysed or ‘worked on’.

Working with Kate has been genuinely grounding. From the start, I felt understood rather than analysed or ‘worked on’. She has a way of asking questions that cut through the noise without ever feeling confronting, and she holds space in a way that feels calm, steady, and deeply respectful.

Lara*, 47 years old

In-person and online

Greater clarity, balance and self-compassion

"I wanted to acknowledge the impact you’ve had on me, because it’s been genuinely meaningful. Working with you has helped me understand how my mind works, not just what I feel. You’ve given me language for long-standing patterns and protective behaviours, which has shifted how I see myself — with more clarity, balance, and compassion. I’ve felt consistently supported, challenged when needed, and never judged, just understood and guided."

Lara*, 47 years old

Lucy*, aged 48

Melbourne and online

For anyone looking for depth, insight, and meaningful change

"Because of our work together, I’m less reactive, more reflective, and clearer in how I show up in relationships and life. The growth hasn’t been flashy, but it’s been real and lasting — the kind that actually changes day-to-day living. I’m deeply grateful for your approach and the space you hold, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for depth, insight, and meaningful change."
