Katie is a provisional psychologist undertaking her final placement of the Clinical Psychology (PhD) program at the Australian National University (ANU). During her training, Katie has provided evidence-based intervention at the ANU Psychology Clinic and Canberra Health Services, delivering individual and group-based therapy.

Katie’s approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based and focused on working together to achieve her client’s goals. She has experience working with clients across the lifespan including children, adolescents and adults. Katie works within an evidence-based therapeutic approach informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and has a developing interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Katie has experience working with a range of clinical presentations including mood disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress), eating disorders and body image concerns, emotion dysregulation, procrastination and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
