Catherine Morey-Nase works with individual adults (18+ years) at her consulting room in Carlton and is an LGBTIQA+ and Neurodiversity aware and affirmative therapist.
Catherine seeks to understand her client’s experiences and their reasons for seeking therapy. She works collaboratively with her clients to support them to develop a greater connection to, and compassion for, all aspects of themselves. The importance of establishing trusting, compassionate and curious relationships with her clients is the bedrock of Catherine’s practice. Rather than viewing her clients’ challenges as ‘problems to be fixed’, Catherine is passionate about providing her clients a safe space within which to heal unresolved emotional wounds and discover new and exciting ways of relating and being in the world.
Working Together
Catherine believes that it is important, and ultimately empowering, to understand the ways in which early experiences shape people’s view of themselves, other people and the world and how these may be keeping people stuck in unhelpful patterns. She takes a holistic approach, one that focuses on mind, body and soul, to support her clients break free from unhelpful patterns and create fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Please note: Catherine only sees clients under Medicare (Mental Health Care Plans), private health insurance, and privately. Catherine does not bulk bill; see clients through TAC, WorkCover, Victims of Crime, or the NDIS; or provide court reports or one-off assessments.
