Kathryn Furfaro

Kathryn Furfaro is a PACFA-credentialed counsellor based in Australia. She draws on three years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. Kathryn speaks plainly in sessions and treats each person as the expert in their own life.

She believes small changes build momentum. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Kathryn aims to boost confidence and motivation while helping people find clearer ways to deal with everyday pressures.

Her work addresses depression, feelings of isolation and attachment and abandonment concerns. She also supports people facing body image worries, caregiver stress, and chronic illness or pain. Conversations often cover communication problems, control issues and life transitions such as separation or midlife shifts.

Kathryn pays attention to shame, guilt and forgiveness when those themes come up. She helps people untangle unhelpful patterns and practise new responses. Sessions are collaborative, with the person and Kathryn agreeing on goals and next steps.

Her approach is down-to-earth and encouraging. Kathryn helps people break problems into manageable parts and tracks progress together. She invites clients to use strengths they already have while learning new ways to cope and relate.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to guide sessions in simple, practical ways. One common approach focuses on teaching people skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as pacing thoughts, breathing exercises and small behavioural changes that reduce overwhelming feelings. Another approach targets mood and motivation by breaking larger problems into smaller tasks and building routines that help with low mood and day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most useful and adapt methods to match the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where options are reviewed and a plan is agreed together.

The practical advantages of online therapy make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Many people find it simpler to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, and shorter check-ins can be arranged when helpful. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as available formats are set by the therapist at the time of scheduling.
