About Kathryn
Kathryn Furfaro is a counsellor credentialed with PACFA and brings three years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She focuses on helping clients build confidence and motivation so they can make meaningful changes. Kathryn approaches each person as the expert of their own story and works alongside them with encouragement and practical steps.
She helps people unpack relationship difficulties, attachment and abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Kathryn also supports those facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife reassessment. Her work includes topics like guilt and shame, body image, isolation and finding life purpose.
Sessions are presented in a down-to-earth way. Kathryn listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Conversations often include clearer ways to manage overwhelming feelings and to improve everyday routines that affect mood and stress. Practical tools and reflective dialogue are used to build skills over time.
People who prefer a collaborative style tend to do well with Kathryn. She aims to empower clients rather than direct them. Progress is paced to suit each person, with attention to strengths and to real-life demands like work and caring responsibilities.
If you want support with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or navigating loss, Kathryn offers a steady presence and practical guidance to help you move forward.
How Kathryn’s approaches can support you online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques commonly involve helping people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour, then testing small changes. One approach focuses on practical strategies for managing anxiety and low mood, teaching breathing, grounding and activity planning to reduce overwhelm and lift motivation. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns so people can improve communication, set boundaries and rebuild trust in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will talk with you about your goals, preferences and day-to-day constraints, then recommend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as you progress.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, and they can make short check-ins or regular appointments simpler to organise. Ask about session length and timing to make sure bookings suit your routine and availability.
