Kate Gore
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology Registrar
I am a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and am currently completing the registrar program for endorsement as a Clinical Psychologist.
My approach is informed by person-centred therapy which is a non-judgemental and empathetic stance to meet the needs of my clients. I enjoy working with adults with a range of mental health presentations, with neurodivergent clients, and gender diverse clients, and draw from a range of therapies.
I have completed training in autism and ADHD assessments. I have also completed Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) training and am a full member of the EMDR Association of Australia.
My labradoodle Sandy joins me in the clinic one day a week while we are both completing our credentials in animal assisted therapy.
Prior to studying psychology, I worked for 15 years in corporate communications. I was motivated to switch careers after my experience in being a mother to a neurodivergent child and my own late diagnosis as Autistic.
My research area is Autistic women, and I am currently a PhD candidate at the Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre at La Trobe University investigating supports for Autistic working mothers.
Workdays – Tuesdays (half day) and Fridays.
