About Kathryn
Kathryn Furfaro is a PACFA counsellor based in Australia who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self‑esteem and depression. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and aims to help people build on their existing strengths. Kathryn writes that taking the first steps towards change takes courage, and she offers steady support through that process.
Her practice emphasises practical conversations and clear next steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can help you feel steadier. Kathryn uses everyday language and short, direct feedback so the work feels useful between meetings.
She pays attention to the patterns that underlie repeated struggles, such as attachment or control issues, and helps people see options for different choices. Kathryn also addresses money and financial issues alongside emotional concerns, recognising how finances and feelings often interact.
People bring concerns like chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries or trouble communicating. Kathryn helps break these problems into small, manageable steps and supports practical coping strategies for daily life.
Her approach is collaborative and strengths‑based. Kathryn works to create a space where clients can try out new ways of thinking and behaving, build confidence, and practise the skills that matter most to them.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding; this can reduce worry and low mood by changing how someone reacts to stressful situations. Another useful technique focuses on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and how to try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and everyday life. This means trying options together, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when a quick support conversation is needed. It can also suit people who prefer seeing their counsellor from a familiar room or who need to schedule sessions around work or caring commitments.
