Katherine is an experienced Couples Counsellor and Trainee Sexologist, completing her placement under supervision from clinic director Christine Rafe

Katherine works with individuals and couples who want to feel more connected to themselves, their sexuality, and their relationships. She supports clients navigating sexual confidence and disconnection, mismatched desire, identity exploration, communication challenges, and the ways past or present experiences can shape intimacy and emotional wellbeing.

Katherine’s approach is warm, reflective, and collaborative. She creates a space where clients can gently explore both current concerns and the deeper emotional patterns influencing how they experience closeness and intimacy. Katherine’s work is neuro-affirming and inclusive of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures, with a strong commitment to supporting LGBTIQASB+ clients.

Katherine currently works as a Couples Counsellor and is near completion of Masters of Sexual and Reproductive Health with University of Sydney.
