About Kate
Kate Dew is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem difficulties. She speaks English and practices in Australia.
Kate approaches sessions with the assumption that clients are the experts in their own lives. She looks for strengths a person already has and uses those as a starting point for change. Conversations focus on what is practical and useful now, not on jargon or long lists of theories.
Her background includes work with a range of family and relationship concerns, and she regularly supports people facing caregiving stress, blended family issues and separation. She also works with body image, fatherhood issues, and challenges related to ageing and geriatric concerns.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how relationships shape feelings, client-centred ways of listening, and mindfulness techniques to build present moment skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are used where clients want clear steps and short-term goals.
Kate keeps sessions straightforward and goal-directed when that is helpful. She encourages small, achievable changes and checks in on what is working. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial session through the platform's booking flow.
How Kate uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Kate often uses attachment-based ideas in sessions to look at how past and current relationships influence feelings and reactions. This can help when people notice patterns in how they connect, argue or withdraw from others.She also works from a client-centred perspective, which means listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping each session around their priorities. Mindfulness techniques are used to build simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce moment-to-moment reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss options with the client and agree on which methods to try based on the person’s goals, preferences and what seems most useful. This means sessions can be more exploratory at first, then move toward practical steps if that suits the client.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit into daily life more easily. Please confirm current session formats and times before booking, as those details can change. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins, attend without travel, or choose a format that suits energy and access, and the therapist will discuss what works best during the first appointment.
