About Kate

Kate Wright is an AASW social worker with ten years of counselling experience. She supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career decisions, major life changes and difficulties with concentration such as ADHD. She aims to offer a warm, respectful space where people can be listened to and understood.

She focuses on practical conversation. Sessions are straightforward and grounded in everyday language. The aim is to help people untangle what matters most, find manageable next steps, and build confidence in day-to-day choices.

Her style is collaborative and calm. She encourages honest talk and problem-solving rather than jargon. That approach helps when dealing with relationship tensions, parenting stress or workplace challenges.

Kate also supports those navigating separation and divorce, caregiver stress and women’s health concerns. She uses her social work background to see how life pressures interact and to help clients make realistic plans for change.

Sessions are currently offered on Friday mornings AEDT. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Over a decade of practice has shaped a simple principle: feeling heard helps people take the next step. Her work aims to make that next step clearer and more achievable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Two evidence-based techniques she commonly draws on are practical problem-solving and skills-based support. Practical problem-solving breaks larger worries into manageable steps and helps people test small changes that fit everyday life, useful for workplace issues, relationship tensions and parenting dilemmas. Skills-based support focuses on concrete tools for attention and organisation, which can help with ADHD-related difficulties in concentration and memory.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day demands. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. It can reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins more feasible.
