About Kate
Kate Dew is an AASW counsellor with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Kate aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges the courage it can take to begin.
She sees every person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on the client’s strengths and practical steps forward. Kate listens for what matters most and helps people build small, achievable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve connection.
Background and approach
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred and mindfulness practices. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, follows the person’s pace, and teaches simple ways to notice and steady difficult emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want clear goals and short-term plans.
Kate has worked in Australian settings for four years and brings that experience into her conversations. She aims for gentle, clear guidance rather than long lectures. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.
People often come for help with communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, or healing after domestic violence and separation. Kate also supports those managing body image, ageing questions, fatherhood concerns, gender dysphoria, and family of origin wounds. She helps people turn heavy problems into manageable next steps.
How Kate uses therapy approaches online
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice patterns from past and current relationships, and practise different ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and follows their pace. In an online setting this can look like careful listening, reflecting what matters most, and checking in about what feels useful each session.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kate will discuss goals and preferences and try strategies that match the person's needs. That collaborative process means approaches can shift over time if something isn’t helping or if new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day and to reflect between messages. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family and other commitments.
