About Katarzyna
Katarzyna 'Kate' Loubet is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain and anger. Kate focuses on helping people manage symptoms that get in the way of daily life and relationships.
Kate uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people set practical goals. She talks through patterns that feed anger, resentment and reactivity, and helps people try different responses in everyday moments. Sessions include learning new coping strategies and practising them between meetings.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred techniques. That mix means conversations alternate between exploring values and noticing how thoughts and feelings influence behaviour. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotion regulation when that is useful.
Kate treats trauma and abuse concerns with attention to safety and pacing. She helps people who carry shame, guilt or self-blame to name those feelings and test kinder self-directed responses. Work with dissociation, domestic violence impacts, or complex losses proceeds at a pace the person can manage.
People meet Kate to build clearer boundaries, repair communication habits, reduce compulsive behaviours, or reduce chronic stress that fuels anger. She supports practical changes such as increased self-care, clearer choices about relationships, and step-by-step plans to reduce reactive responses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that fit those values, which can help with anger rooted in frustration or meaning loss. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It teaches practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and change reaction patterns that lead to outbursts or ongoing resentment. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that shape emotional responses. It is useful for people who find anger tied to fears of abandonment, control issues or repeating family dynamics.Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and the issues that brought them to therapy. That decision can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-in meetings during a work break. They also allow practice of skills in real-life contexts and make regular attendance more achievable for people juggling care or work commitments.
