Katherina Doherty MAPS

Director / Psychologist

BA (Hons) Psych, MPsych Sc.

With a strong interpersonal focus, Katherina uses effective, evidence-based therapy to help people adapt and develop healthy coping in a safe, non-judgemental environment. She adopts an individual approach, working collaboratively to help explore difficulties and underlying emotional issues. Katherina has a warm and supportive approach, recognising the central importance of the therapeutic relationship as a key driver of change in therapy.

Katherina wants clients to benefit from therapy by helping them achieve their goals, gain insight into their difficulties and experience change and growth. She takes the time to listen and understand. She applies feedback informed practice to help ensure therapy works. Katherina uses treatment approaches which have been shown to be effective, including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), trauma-focused therapy and the Gottman Method for relationships.

Coming from an organisational psychology background, Nima is experienced in using a systematic approach to dig deep into his client’s presenting issues and focus on the areas that will have the greatest impact for them. Together with his understanding of change management, and his experience working in and consulting for various industries ranging from hospitality to the FIFO resources sector, he is well equipped to help clients from all cultures and walks of life to navigate their lives a little easier.

Through the creation of a welcoming space where you can feel understood and not judged, Nima wishes to empower his clients to not only see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect to each other, but to be able to walk away from therapy having learned the practical skills to tackle life’s challenges in whatever form they take.

   Adults and Couples

Hi there! I’m Charis, and I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges. I hold a Master of Counselling degree and a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. My own journey into wellness has taught me that there’s always hope despite the challenges. As a result, I have developed a passion for helping others, particularly couples who may be facing feelings of hopelessness due to relational issues. I’m dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families in finding their way through difficult times.

Whether you’re dealing with personal issues, relationship problems, or family conflicts, I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment. I aim to help you understand your emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy ocean swimming, time with family, reading, learning new things and the occasional binge on superhero fiction movies. I’m committed to continuous learning and growth, ensuring I provide the best possible support to those I work with.

I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey to well-being!
