Katie Small

About Katie

I am an accredited Mental Health Social Worker offering online video or telephone counselling for individuals, particularly those experiencing symptoms of anxiety and relationship stress.

I specialise in working with those experiencing:

Anxiety (including panic disorders, pre- and post-natal experiences of anxiety and/or depression, workplace stress, difficulties with self-esteem, the mental load of motherhood and more general relationship stress)

Parenting and/or relationship stress (including parents having difficulty understanding and responding to their children's challenging behaviours, family conflict and burn out.)

Foster care (I have a particular passion to support those who are caring for vulnerable children in foster care. If you are a registered carer, I offer discounted rates)

Grief & loss (including the loss of loved ones, miscarriage, divorce, loss of work and relocation)
Christian counselling (see more information about this below under 'other services'. I offer discounted rates for those working in ministry).

About Me:

I live in the Lower Blue Mountains with my husband and two young daughters. I enjoy cooking, gardening, camping and reading. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked in the music industry and still hold a passion for music and creativity.

When I can find the time I enjoy writing about life, relationships and mental health which you can find on my blog: https://katiesmallcounselling.blogspot.com/

Other Services

Parenting program:

I offer a 6 session parenting program called The Parent Hope Project, intending to restore parenting clarity and confidence for those whose children are exhibiting challenging behaviours and/or mental health difficulties. For those interested in committing to this program I offer discounted session rates – please get in touch to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss any questions you have & to determine if the program is appropriate for you.

Professional Supervision:

I have been providing individual & group professional supervision for the past eight years. I enjoy walking alongside fellow social workers, therapists & professionals within the community & mental health sectors. I aim to support thoughtful and critical thinking in relation to your work - encouraging a deeper connection between theory and practice. I also enjoy assisting clinicians to explore their own family of origin and how this can improve and refine the service they provide clients.

Christian Counselling:

As a Christian, it is a joy for me to provide counselling to those who want their faith to play an important role in their mental health. I believe that for a Christian scripture, prayer & church community should take a priority role in the process of recovery from mental health difficulties. The bible is packed full of wisdom in responding to anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties and I love the opportunity to utilise this in therapy.

*Please note that I have been trained by secular institutions and utilise therapeutic approaches that are not based in scripture.
