Depression can be treated. All it takes is for you to recognise that this isn’t the way you should be feeling. You’ve taken a courageous first step in seeking help.
I can assist you to understand why you are experiencing the debilitating shut-down symptoms of depression, and then we work towards finding the root cause so we can process these distressing and disturbing feelings. When you feel calmer and more in control you can create a richer, more meaningful life.
My practice is a combination of deep empathy, psychoeducation and practical tools and skills to help you on the road to healing your past, and helping you to create a future of possibility.
A holistic approach is the most effective way I know of helping you to restore calm and balance into your life.
My clients often experience:
Chrysalis Health was an incredible experience that I am so grateful to have been a part of. Kate has an amazing ability to adapt her technique to her clients' needs which makes her an incredibly versatile person to work with. Beyond that, she has a real sense of calmness and warmth that enhanced the effect of working with her ten-fold for me, as a result I feel that I have come away with a real sense of clarity and peace. I would recommend Kate to anyone looking to get to know themselves better as you couldn't find a better coach to guide you through it.
I have had just two sessions with Kate and I have achieved more in those two session than I have in 20 years plus of different therapies. I felt safe and supported so much so that there no effort on my part to move massive energy blocks that have been crippling me all my adult life. I am filled with gratitude for the gifts of this amazing woman and highly recommend her to anyone that has a heart desire to change their reality for the better.
Kate Kernick was an absolute amazing counsellor - her experience is invaluable and has made me learn so much about myself!
I’ve had many sessions over the years to assist with an odd and horrific anxiety that befalls me up on waking usually I’m symptom free for a short while and then the anxiety hits me hard again when another traumatic event occurred for me. After a (remote) session with Kate a month ago, this feeling has not returned. I’ve not gone a month without this anxiety in the last 12 years until now. Believe me, I’ve been tested over the past few days, and I’ve woken up every morning without that soul shattering anxiety. Thank you beautiful Kate, I am more grateful than I can say.
My process is all about making sure you feel comfortable and safe, and see a path to wellness for yourself.
