About Katrina
Katrina values choice, dignity and accountability and rejects a one-size-fits-all approach to care. She believes behaviour reflects learned coping strategies rather than defining a person, and she focuses on understanding how behaviour developed as the first step toward safer and healthier outcomes. Her practice emphasises tailored interventions that respect each person’s journey while encouraging responsibility and meaningful progress.
Having moved into private practice after a long period in the public service, Katrina draws on that breadth of experience to increase community access to forensic-informed psychological support. She is registered with AHPRA - the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - and she is passionate about walking alongside people as they work toward a more purposeful and balanced life.

Evidence-informed approaches for online support
Katrina uses evidence-based assessment and tailored intervention methods suited to forensic-informed work. One approach is individual assessment - a structured evaluation of behaviour, risk factors and coping patterns that helps identify strengths and areas for change and guides personalised treatment planning. Another approach focuses on targeted interventions to reduce harmful behaviours and build safer coping strategies - these interventions are practical, goal-oriented and designed to address issues such as addiction, anger and difficulties with impulse control.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Katrina works with each person to explore needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the care fits the individual rather than fitting the person to a single method. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists often combine assessment and intervention to achieve meaningful progress.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments. These formats increase accessibility, allow ongoing contact between sessions when needed, and support continuity of care for people who cannot easily attend in person.
