About Kathryn
Kathryn Furfaro is a PACFA-credentialled counsellor based in Australia. She has three years of focused experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Kathryn aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make small, realistic changes.
She emphasises the client’s own knowledge of their life and strengths. Kathryn listens for practical steps that fit day-to-day demands. She works with people who are struggling with relationships, low self-esteem, grief or big life transitions.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Kathryn helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and then tries out new ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what will work between meetings.
She also supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and caregiver stress. Chronic illness or pain, financial worries, and feelings of isolation are addressed with practical strategies and pacing that suit the individual. Kathryn believes change often begins with small, steady steps.
She encourages realistic goals and celebrates progress along the way. People meet her to talk through problems, build clearer thinking, and regain confidence in handling life’s pressures.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help with anxiety, stress and mood concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing more balanced thoughts; this helps reduce worry and lift low mood by changing day-to-day reactions. Another approach emphasises practical coping skills and pacing activities to manage energy and symptoms; this is useful for people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or persistent fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Sessions begin with understanding the problem and then trying methods together to see what helps most.
Online therapy is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Video allows fuller interaction, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping focus on progress and practical outcomes.
