About Kathleen
PACFA counsellor with 7 years of professional experience. Kathleen Murray Forth helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works with concerns such as panic, social anxiety, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and workplace stress.
Kathleen frames clients as the agents of change in their own lives. She listens for strengths and practical steps a person can use between sessions. In conversation she aims to slow things down, clarify what matters most, and break problems into manageable tasks. Sessions are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focus on everyday coping skills.
Her approach suits people who want clear, practical support rather than abstract theory. Kathleen talks through options and helps people choose approaches that fit their circumstances. She pays attention to how guilt, shame and isolation affect daily routines and relationships, and works on small shifts that build resilience over time.
Kathleen has worked across a range of stress-related and mood concerns for seven years. She is listed with PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals, regular check-ins on progress, and homework or exercises when those are helpful.
Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for people located in Australia. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Many of Kathleen's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behaviour change. One common strand is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety and panic, such as breathing, grounding and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These methods help reduce immediate symptoms and build confidence for facing triggers.Another approach emphasises processing and making sense of trauma and loss through measured, paced conversation. This helps people organise difficult memories, reduce overwhelming feelings and restore daily routines that feel manageable. Both approaches are presented in straightforward language and linked to real-world coping tasks.
Choosing the best method is a collaborative process. Kathleen reviews a person's goals, current challenges and preferences, then suggests approaches to try. Progress is checked regularly and methods are adjusted as needed so work stays relevant to everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
