About Kathleen
Kathleen Murray Forth is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with seven years of professional experience. She works with people carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and the large life changes that follow these events. Kathleen also supports concerns such as guilt and shame, abandonment and attachment issues, body image, and workplace strain.
Her approach treats the person as an active agent in change. She helps people notice the strengths they already have. Sessions involve talking through what feels stuck and trying practical ways to respond differently. Kathleen keeps language plain and focuses on concrete steps rather than jargon.
People often come for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation or overwhelming caregiver stress. She also works with questions of forgiveness, self-love and sexuality when these tie into broader emotional difficulties. Discussion can include how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns.
Kathleen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps clients weigh options, practise new responses and build small routines that ease daily pressure. The emphasis is on steady progress through repeated, manageable steps.
Sessions are offered in English in Australia. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. The payment model uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic methods and working online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people understand and shift difficult patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying triggers and practising new responses in small steps. This helps with panic attacks, social anxiety and repeated unhelpful reactions. Another approach looks at how early attachments shape present feelings and relationships, which can be useful for abandonment, shame and trust issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor and client discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made as needed so the method fits the person rather than the other way around.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. These practical benefits can help maintain consistency while testing what methods feel most useful.
