Isn’t it strange that the most gentle of hearts belong to all the souls on fire

Michelle Schaper

“I had incredible success with Katie. She really helped me work through some grief after an accident. I feel very welcome and comfortable while in a session with Katie. Even if the tears are flowing.”

“I did a session with Katie that focused on the grief of my Dad’s passing. Even though he passed 13 years ago I still held a lot of grief that felt very fresh, and I didn’t know how to process it to move on without losing his memory. The session with Katie really helped me unpack and explore the reasons I was hanging on to the grief. I’m grateful for Katie’s kind, thoughtful, and compassionate approach in tackling this journey head on.”

“I went to Katie for counselling recently. There had been some changes in my life, and I had some decisions to make and attitudes to work on. I found that, despite the fact that Katie was much younger than I, we immediately developed a rapport.

She was a good listener, and her calm, considered presence helped me to reach my own sense of clarity about what was going on and what options were opening up for me. I saw Katie only a couple of times, but over that period, my stress evaporated, and I developed new confidence and self-assurance. She is probably the most skilled therapist I have experienced, out of perhaps ten or so during my lifetime.”

“I have reached the point in my life where I have to be a better grown-up than I have been. I know what I need to do, but I haven’t been able to get the momentum going to make some lasting changes and say farewell to the bad habits and patterns that I know don’t work and are not good for me; I’m so good at avoiding making those changes. Working with Katie is helping to keep me on track. I have a monthly ‘accountability date’ to show I’m doing better at being a more grown-up, functional and productive Me. And Katie has been giving me some techniques to help me stop, take a breath, clear my mind and reset; stopping those negative thoughts and attitudes that have been preventing me from being my better self. It’s going to take a while to stop a lot of years of bad habits and patterns, but I’m improving and Katie is definitely helping with that.”

“Katie has been a wonderful, calm, and patient counsellor to speak with.  She has assisted me simply by listening and has provided techniques which have helped me think through and move through some of the issues I have raised with her.  I always feel a little more unburdened after a session with Katie.”
