Psychologist, BA (Hons), DPsych (Forensic), MPsych (Clinical)
Illume Psychology is a boutique psychology practice that offers a nurturing space to meaningfully and collaboratively work through your inner troubles. Through the transformative potential of an ongoing therapeutic conversation we will seek to understand your body image concerns and make helpful discoveries that bring about meaningful and sustained change in your life.
Body image can have an immense impact on your sense of self-worth and your place in the world. In therapy, I provide a compassionate and supportive environment to help you explore the underlying issues affecting your perception of your bodies. We work together to examine your beliefs and feelings about the way you appear, with the ultimate goal of self-acceptance. My approach includes exploring the influence of societal pressures and standards as well as past experiences.
Body image issues form a large part of issues faced by women and are often thrust upon us by the patriarchy through rampant sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Kate understands the depths of these causes and helps from this deep point of understanding.
We work with our client on body positivity and finding meaning in the client's strengths and characterstics in order to promote wellness and self esteem.
