Kate O'Brien Email & Phone Number

I am Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with over a decade of experience working as a trauma therapist in non-profit and public mental health settings. I specialise in working with complex trauma arising from the asylum process and refugee experiences, and childhood trauma. During this time, I have witnessed the phenomenal strength, beauty, and complexity of the human spirit. I believe in the power of connection for healing, and that a psychologist’s role is to journey alongside clients as a guide and facilitator, as they navigate their pathway to healing. My approach in psychotherapy is interpersonal and relational: to journey alongside others, with curiosity and compassion, with the goal of creating a 'safe enough' space for self-exploration and reflection. I work in a way that attempts to integrate all aspects of emotional and psychological experience, with an understanding that the body remembers and thus needs to be integrated into therapeutic approaches.I currently work in private practice at Be Well, and am a Board Approved Supervisor (specialising in the field of trauma, and working cross culturally).
