My journey as a therapist began over 26 years ago, guided by a deep curiosity about yoga, meditation, and spiritual life. Since opening my first private psychology practice in 2004, I’ve immersed myself in Vipassana meditation, the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, and mindfulness communities that have shaped both my life and my work.

Through moves, relationships, and raising children, I’ve continually returned to Buddhist teachings and the grounding power of daily practice. Now based in the Northern Rivers, I support individuals and couples across Australia and worldwide, offering a compassionate, inclusive space for healing, self-discovery, and the exploration of sexuality and identity.

My trauma-informed approach is rooted in Buddhist philosophy and embodied through somatic experiencing, with mindfulness and compassion at the heart of every session.

Insight meditation is known as Vipassana in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. The insight meditation Kate practices is a contemporary application of Buddhist teachings. 

Insight meditation practice is founded on Buddhist approach to ethics, mindfulness, depth meditation and is focused on the opening of insight.

Insight meditation allows us to develop clear seeing into reactions and distortions arising in our daily life, and through this clarifying of awareness, the experience of a stillness of mind arises.  This experience leads then to opening oneself, and consciousness experience, to the entirety of this wonderous life.

Kate holds a weekly dana based meditation evenings and regular retreats incorporating the insight meditation teachings.

After entering an altered state of consciousness (ASC), your mind becomes more open and receptive due to increased neuroplasticity. This remarkable period offers a chance for profound personal development, especially when integrated mindfully.

Many associate ASCs with psychedelics (not legal in Australia) or lucid dreaming, but they can also arise through everyday experiences like meditation, hypnosis, or spontaneous sensations. ASCs can be initiated pharmacologically, psychologically, physiologically, or occur naturally.

This therapy blends ancient wisdom with modern quantum insights to enrich your journey.

As your therapist, I help you to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit to achieve personal goals and integrate the changes, maintaining awareness of transcendent experiences while reconnecting to daily life.

Altered States Integration Therapy is uniquely tailored to you, operating in the transpersonal realm to enhance growth and consciousness.

With over 26 years of clinical experience, I offer a deeply integrative approach to psychological care bringing together depth psychology, compassion-focused therapy, mindful embodiment, and intuitive wisdom to support genuine, lasting transformation. Drawing on Jungian dream exploration, Buddhist meditation, and shamanic perspectives, I provide individuals, couples, and groups with a holistic path toward healing, clarity, and meaningful self-understanding.

Above all, I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels grounded, inclusive, and supportive a place where you can explore, heal, and grow with confidence and care.
