About Kate
Kate Dew is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Her focus includes related issues such as body image, communication problems, and commitment concerns. She offers straightforward, practical support for early-adult challenges like feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Kate believes clients know their own story and brings a listening, client-centred approach to sessions. She uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to help people notice patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect day-to-day feelings. Mindfulness strategies are introduced to build skills for grounding and managing anxiety in the moment.
Sessions may also draw on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to clarify goals and plan small, achievable steps. This can help with practical problems such as navigating a difficult separation, sorting family-of-origin issues, or addressing caregiving stresses. Kate keeps the work focused and action-oriented when that suits the client.
Her background supports work with a range of family-related concerns, including blended family stress, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness work. She also has experience with gender dysphoria and domestic violence contexts, approached with care and attention to safety.
People meet Kate for a mix of short-term practical work and longer conversations about how past experiences shape current patterns. She encourages clients who feel nervous about starting to take the first step and complete the initial matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How Kate uses therapeutic approaches online
Kate draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people identify relationship patterns and how those patterns affect current emotions and choices. This approach is useful for relationship stress, family conflict and understanding why certain reactions repeat.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client notices about themselves. That helps people who feel unheard or unsure about next steps. Mindfulness Therapy is included to teach brief grounding skills for managing anxiety and stress in everyday moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kate will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as needed.
