Cathy Crawford, PACFA

Cathy Crawford is a NSW-based therapist with nine years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals and couples, bringing experience in addressing issues such as infidelity, communication breakdowns, parenting conflicts and the aftereffects of trauma. Cathy approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the specific needs and circumstances of the individual or couple.

She is available to work with clients in Australia and is registered with PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia), which signals her connection to recognised counselling standards and practice within the field. Cathy emphasises collaborative care, taking time to understand family of origin concerns, attachment issues, codependency, and other relational dynamics that often underlie presenting problems. She also assists with grief and loss, midlife transitions, and the challenges that follow separation or domestic violence.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Cathy acknowledges that first step as important. She commits to creating a supportive, tailored process that helps clients explore goals, build stronger communication and coping strategies, and move toward clearer purpose and healthier relationships.
