She specialises in supporting people to recover from trauma and to work through the challenges of managing intense moods, behaviours and dissociative parts. Kate sees clients of all ages and uses therapies like compassion focused therapy, trauma informed CBT and EMDR all with client led adaptations to be neuro-affirming.
