About Kate
Kate Dew is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. She also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.
She keeps sessions practical and direct. She listens to the facts of a situation, helps clients name the main problems, and looks for small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build on what already works in a person’s life.
When family roles shift after a separation or remarriage, she helps people sort out new routines and expectations. Topics often include co-parenting arrangements, loyalty tensions, communication breakdowns, and navigating boundaries with ex-partners. She outlines clear steps rather than abstract tasks so people can try things between sessions.
Kate uses approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Mindfulness and Solution-Focused methods. That mix supports people who want to understand relationship patterns, practise calmer responses, and try concrete coping strategies. She keeps language everyday and avoids clinical jargon.
Her work suits adults who want practical tools and straightforward conversation about family and relationship problems. To start, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kate uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand patterns in close relationships and why certain reactions keep repeating. That approach is useful for people sorting loyalty tensions, boundary questions, or uncertainty in blended households.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on what the client brings to each session and on following the client’s pace. This helps when someone needs to talk through sensitive family decisions without being pushed toward a particular outcome. Mindfulness Therapy appears in sessions as simple practices for reducing stress and staying calmer during difficult conversations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped before, and together they decide which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted as progress continues so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep continuity while they sort out family routines and co-parenting arrangements.
