About Katrina
Registered Counsellor Katrina Vlcek has three years' experience and is an ACA counsellor based in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, life changes and ADHD. She supports adults and adolescents through practical strategies and reflective conversation.
Katrina uses a trauma-informed and neuro-affirming stance in her work. She helps people make small, manageable changes rather than imposing a fixed plan. Sessions often involve identifying patterns, building coping strategies and practising new ways of responding to strong emotions.
She has a particular interest in people who receive a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis. In those cases Katrina focuses on reducing self-criticism, recognising personal strengths and developing routines and tools that fit an individual’s day-to-day life. She explains practical options and helps people choose what to try first.
Therapy may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy alongside mindfulness-based exercises and expressive techniques. These are used to address worry, panic, grief and difficulties with motivation or concentration.
Katrina describes her meetings as collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. She works with both adults and adolescents and aims to help them build resilience and clearer self-understanding. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted. If a reader needs clarification on session options they should confirm current formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online sessions
Katrina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood because it focuses on practical steps and skills.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy which concentrates on current strengths and concrete goals. That method helps when someone wants quick, actionable changes or clear strategies for specific problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katrina will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. The choice of technique is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or permitting phone-based conversations when video is difficult. Appropriately qualified counsellors can use these formats to keep momentum between appointments and support practical skill-building.
