About Kate Herbert

Hello! My name is Kate Herbert and I am a Registered, Masters-level Social Worker and Therapist, with over 30 years of experience in the field of mental health and wellness. I work with all ages of clients, from children and teens, through to adults (including both individuals and couples). My approach is founded on a strengths-based, client-centered and trauma-informed perspective. I support my clients in identifying places where they are ‘stuck’ and assist them in crafting goals to improve their quality of life.

In my work with clients, I apply my training in areas such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Emotionally-Focused Therapy; Solution focused Counselling; Attachment theory; Mindfulness; Internal Family Systems; Trauma-informed practice; Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Critical Incident Stress Management, among others.

It is crucial that you as the client, feel 'seen'. It is my honour to walk alongside you as you embark on a path of discovering yourself and what you need, to live a fulfilling life.

I work with children, teens and adults experiencing life challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and life stress. Additionally, I support individuals grappling with life transitions, relationship concerns and parenting challenges, as well as those experiencing grief, loss and a wide range of other concerns. I support my clients to gain greater self awareness and to identify patterns of thought and behavior that may be ‘getting in the way’ of a fulfilling life. I encourage my clients to set realistic goals and to work intentionally towards these goals with the support of a well crafted plan.
