Counselling Service located in the beautiful Huon Valley

Hello, I’m Kathy from Tulip Tree therapy, a counsellor with over 20 years experience in community health services, having worked for both the government and non government sector in Tasmania. Trauma support, sexual health, alcohol and drug, homelessness and family violence counselling are specialist areas in which I have worked. In addition, I have provided education, health promotion, community development and middle management services to workplaces.

Supporting my work experience has been a process of continuing education where I have obtained a number of professional qualifications with more recent awards including a Graduate Certificate in Somatic Therapy and Master of Counselling from Monash University. I am also a member of the Psychotherapist and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA Reg. Provisional 24813) and as such engage in regular supervision and continuing education.

I am able to draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including Person Centred Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive & Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I have a particular interest in somatic psychotherapy in recognition that so many of us who experience trauma, grief or emotional distress will ultimately carry the responses to those experiences not only emotionally but also within our bodies. Thus, counselling as a verbal therapy may be only one part of a therapeutic process. In order to tap into the emotional material we hold within each of us, it may be useful to bring our attention to our bodies and gain familiarity with how our body speaks to us when we are activated and troubled by past or current events.
