Ms Katherine Bonaldi

Clinical Psychologist

Katherine is a registered Clinical Psychologist at In Bloom Psychology. Website: www.inbloompsychology. com.au. She has over 16 years experience working with people who have a wide range of mental health issues, particularly trauma, anxiety and adjustment issues. She aims to help clients to heal and thrive.

About Me

I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate trauma, persistent anxiety, or significant life adjustments. With over 16 years of experience, I guide clients through these challenges. My aim is to help you explore your experiences and build resilience, creating a safe, supportive space. Here, we can collaboratively develop practical strategies, allowing you to heal and truly begin to thrive.

Approach

Healing is built through small, practical steps—sessions are steady and focused, balancing exploration with skills practice for anxiety, trauma and life changes. I see adults in Melbourne and online in English, leaving space between sessions for brief check-ins or practice to reinforce progress. My work pairs assessment, reflection and targeted strategies so you can reduce symptoms and manage adjustments. People facing persistent anxiety, grief, chronic illness or major transitions often find this collaborative, paced approach helpful.
