Catherine (Kate) McAllister
Registered Social Worker
“My philosophy revolves around helping to free clients from unhelpful patterns and ways of thinking in order to fully embrace the meaningful life they want to live. I have walked alongside people struggling with a wide range of mental health and life challenges and I take a particular interest in anxiety and trauma.”
About Me
I help you free yourself from unhelpful patterns and ways of thinking. I have walked alongside many facing mental health challenges, especially anxiety and trauma. We can explore what holds you back, finding new ways to move forward. My aim is to support you in embracing the meaningful life you truly want to live.
Approach
I help you uncover the hidden rules that keep you repeating the same struggles and then gently experiment with new responses so change feels doable. In my Waterloo office or via secure online sessions in English, timing is collaborative — some weeks we focus on skills practice, other weeks on deeper processing at a measured pace. Sessions blend guided exercises, focused reflection, and attention to what your body tells us, with short between-session steps to try out shifts in daily life. This way often fits adults and parents facing persistent worry or past hurt.
