About Katarzyna
Katarzyna 'Kate' Loubet is a PACFA counsellor with 20 years of experience based in Australia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and concerns such as addiction, parenting strain and low self-esteem. Kate focuses on practical changes people can try between sessions to reduce distress and rebuild confidence.
Her approach mixes structured methods with person-focused conversations. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based work and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. Sessions often look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and test small experiments to change daily habits.
Kate pays attention to how childhood attachment and relationship history affect current reactions. She also works with the emotional fallout of sexual abuse, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and with dissociation or feelings of emptiness. Practical coping skills and emotion regulation are common session topics.
She helps people deal with issues like shame, guilt, control or commitment difficulties, and problems with communication. Therapy includes short exercises, values clarification, and steps to rebuild self-care and social connection.
People who come for help can expect a clear plan for their goals and straightforward tools to try at home. Conversations are direct and focused on what changes are realistic in day-to-day life.
How her approaches guide online work
Kate uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT sessions break problems into specific thoughts, feelings and actions, and often include practical homework to test new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used alongside CBT to clarify personal values and build willingness to experience difficult emotions while acting in line with what matters. ACT helps with anxiety, depression and life transitions by shifting focus toward values-based actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and trust. This work helps when intimacy, abandonment or communication problems are central.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that suit the person's needs and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or lunch break and removes travel time. It also lets people use exercises and worksheets in real time during sessions, and supports regular brief check-ins when needed. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt CBT, ACT and attachment work to an online setting to focus on concrete skills and small behaviour changes.
