Kat Hathaway

I have a well established Psychotherapy and Counselling practice in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne. My work is based on a therapeutic approach in which mindfulness, embodied experience, relationship with Self and other, meaning, and honouring the individual process are held as fundamental.

To work in this way, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psych (hons) from The Australian National University, Canberra, in combination with a 4 year diploma in Soul Centred Psychotherapy at the Kairos Centre in Melbourne.

I am immensely curious about people and hold a genuine investment in the well being of my clients. In line with the principals of Soul Centred Psychotherapy, I work with clients to help them to have greater access to their emotional world, improved relationships and to grow into more of themselves. I am not a detached, clinical observer who ushers my clients out of the room as soon as the time is up. Unfortunately, this has been most people’s experience of therapy, and many clients have said to me “It’s such a relief to feel that you’re actually listening!”.

I am committed to constant development of my skills and undertake fortnightly supervision sessions with an accredited supervisor. I also undertake annual Professional Development work, in the form of workshops and seminars, which hone my understandings of the work and open me up to new areas of practice. These components are also requirements of my ongoing membership with my professional association, the Association of Soul Centred Psychotherapy (ASCP) and eligibility with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
