About - Let's make sense of things together — one step at a time

I'm Kathleen Rao, a registered counsellor specialising in anxiety, burnout, depression, parenthood, grief, and more. I work with young people and adults using an interactive, collaborative approach.

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels human — real conversations, genuine connection, and an approach that fits you. My style is interactive, warm, and down-to-earth.

Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or just feeling stuck, I'm here to help you find clarity and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

  • Attachment Theory. Working with how early relationships shape our current experiences.
