About Me
Counsellor, Strategic Psychotherapist & Advanced Life Coach Practitioner
​
Compassionate counselling and psychotherapy on the Gold Coast and online across Australia.
Hello, I'm Kate, and welcome to Well-Being with Kate Kingwell.
​
I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and supported, particularly during life's most challenging moments.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety or depression, experiencing difficulties in your marriage or relationship, navigating grief, processing trauma or working towards recovery from addiction, reaching out for support can be the beginning of meaningful change.
​
As a qualified Counsellor, Strategic Psychotherapist and Advanced Life Coach Practitioner, I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore what you're experiencing, better understand yourself and develop the confidence and practical skills to move forward.
​
My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth and personalised. I believe therapy should be a collaborative experience where you feel respected, supported and empowered.
My Journey & Professional Experience
My passion for helping others comes from a combination of professional training, personal growth and lived experience.
​
With over 20 years of personal recovery experience, I understand that change isn't always straightforward. Life can present challenges that test our resilience, relationships, confidence and sense of self.
​
I also understand that meaningful change is possible, and that having the right support, understanding and practical tools can make a significant difference.
​
Professionally, I've worked with individuals experiencing addiction, trauma, mental health challenges, relationship difficulties and emotional distress, including providing psychotherapy and recovery support in residential rehabilitation settings.
​
This experience has strengthened my belief that behind every behaviour, emotional response or struggle is a person with their own story, experiences and needs.
​
I don't believe in judging people by their past or defining them by their difficulties. I believe in helping people understand themselves, recognise their strengths and develop healthier ways of moving forward.
What You Can Expect When Working With Me
​I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel vulnerable, particularly if you've been managing difficulties on your own for a long time.
You don't need to have the right words, know exactly what you want to work on or have everything figured out before your first appointment.
​
My role is to meet you where you are, listen without judgement and work alongside you to identify what matters most.
​
You can expect an approach that is:
-
Compassionate: A supportive space where you feel heard and respected.
-
Collaborative: We work together, guided by your individual needs and goals.
-
Practical: You receive strategies and tools to use beyond our sessions.
-
Personalised: Therapy is tailored to your circumstances, values and experiences.
-
Empowering: The focus is on strengthening your confidence, resilience and ability to support yourself.
I believe that meaningful change doesn't always come from one big breakthrough. Often, it's the small, consistent changes that gradually transform how we feel, think, respond and relate to ourselves and others.
​

Client Feedback
Kate went above and beyond in helping me work through a very stressful situation. Her EFT sessions work for me like nothing else and have provided me with tools I can use to minimise stress in my everyday life. It has been such a great experience working with Kate, she is warm, and patient and I have gotten so much out of our sessions together. Highly recommend her service.
