“Warm, trauma-informed counselling for adults who want more than symptom relief”

Verified by Kyan

About Katalin

I'm a psychotherapist and counsellor, and I work with adults who want more than symptom relief. I'm committed to supporting people through times of challenge and transition. I often work with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, burnout, intense emotions, and relationship and boundary challenges.

I hold a postgraduate Master of Counselling and I am registered with the Australian Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ARCAP). I see clients in person at Quiet Ground Counselling in Dural, in Sydney's Hills District, and online across Australia.

My practice is grounded in integrity and compassion. I aim to create a therapeutic environment that feels collaborative and deeply human. I believe healing happens in relationship, so I meet each person with empathy and curiosity. Alongside evidence-based strategies, I make room for reflection, so we can look at what is happening for you and what matters to you.

How Katalin works

My approach is warm and trauma-informed, grounded in genuine human connection. I draw on principles of Internal Family Systems, trauma-informed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, existential psychotherapy and polyvagal-informed work. This combination lets me work with both the emotional and the physiological sides of distress. In our sessions I offer evidence-based strategies alongside space for reflection. We can work on clarifying your values and reconnecting with meaning, so you can cultivate a steadier sense of self.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Katalin works.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy helps you make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. The focus is on what matters to you, and on taking steps in that direction even when things feel hard. It is used for stress, anxiety, low mood and long-term pain, among other things.

Existential therapy & logotherapy

Existential therapy and logotherapy look at the big questions of life: meaning, freedom, choice, loss and mortality. Rather than treating difficulties only as symptoms, they explore how you want to live and what gives your life meaning. They can be helpful at turning points, in times of crisis or when life feels empty.
