About Kathryn
Kathryn Furfaro is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self esteem and depression. Kathryn describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps they can take when things feel stuck.
She helps people talk through what they are finding hard and identify small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. Kathryn also pays attention to patterns from attachment and abandonment that can affect relationships and self worth.
Her work includes supporting those dealing with chronic health issues, caregiving strain and the emotional fallout of separation and loss. She will also address money worries, control struggles and problems with communication that get in the way of relationships and goals.
Kathryn aims to build on existing strengths rather than start from zero. Conversations are practical and focused on what someone wants to change. She encourages realistic steps that fit into everyday life and checks progress along the way.
People who are questioning life purpose or facing a midlife rethink may find her approach useful for weighing options and clarifying priorities. Sessions are conducted in English and Kathryn does not currently take international clients.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques typically used in short-term work include cognitive behavioural approaches, which focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach helps people break down problems into practical steps and learn skills they can apply between sessions.Another commonly used strand is attachment-focused work, which looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication. This helps people understand why they repeat certain relationship behaviours and try alternative ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods over time if something is not helping.
