Kathryn Furfaro

Kathryn Furfaro is a counsellor credentialed with PACFA who supports people working through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She also helps those managing depression and life transitions. Kathryn writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change. Sessions are set up to build on those strengths and to make small, steady gains. Kathryn encourages clear goals and simple strategies that fit into everyday life.

Her background includes three years of professional experience in Australia helping people navigate loss, motivation struggles and relationship tensions. That work has covered issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and chronic pain, and communication problems.

Kathryn also supports people facing control issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and money. She aims to create a space where people can talk through what matters and try out new ways of coping.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Kathryn will listen, ask useful questions, and suggest manageable exercises to try between meetings. She frames progress as steady and individual, not immediate or uniform for everyone.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online support

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. Cognitive approaches look at thought patterns and teach simple strategies to reframe worries and reduce anxiety. Behavioural strategies encourage small experiments and routines to restore energy and mood, which can help with depression and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This is collaborative work that often combines talking, practical exercises and agreed homework between sessions.

The original biography did not list which session formats Kathryn uses, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also make it simpler to follow up on strategies between meetings and to keep continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
