Kathrine Carton, ACA

Kathrine Carton is an Australian counsellor with six years of professional experience and holds the ACA credential. She works with people struggling with stress and anxiety, supporting those coping with grief and loss as well as individuals facing low motivation, self-esteem challenges, confidence concerns and depression. Kathrine approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, shaping conversations and care to suit the unique circumstances of every client.

Her practice focuses on creating a collaborative space where clients can explore what matters to them and build practical steps toward change. She tailors treatment plans to individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, and she commits to supporting and empowering clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling life. Kathrine encourages courage and persistence in the therapeutic process and offers steady professional support throughout the journey.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online counselling

Kathrine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical skills to manage stress and anxiety. These skill-based approaches aim to help people recognise unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and develop strategies for coping, problem solving and emotion regulation.

She also offers approaches designed to support processing grief and loss, helping clients work through difficult emotions and adjust to life changes at a manageable pace. For those affected by trauma or abuse, Kathrine provides sensitive, trauma-informed support that prioritises pacing and safety while addressing symptoms and recovery needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Kathrine works with clients to identify which techniques best suit their goals, needs and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home or other convenient locations and to continue therapy despite geographical or time constraints, while still working with appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists.
