Ms Katherine Rose Hooper

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“I am a mature and experienced registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist (Archetypal/Imaginal) who is passionate about depth/soul work, working with individuals and couples, altering communication, narratives; finding threads&patterns that are unconscious through images, dreams and struggles with presenting symptoms”

About Me

Explore the deeper layers of your experience with me, whether you're an individual or part of a couple. I help you uncover unconscious threads and patterns through images, dreams, and your daily struggles. This depth work can transform communication and reshape your personal narrative. Clients seeking a mature, empathetic guide will find a supportive space. Together, we can navigate complex emotions and discover new meaning.

Approach

Beneath presenting symptoms I attend to the imaginal life—dreams, metaphors and recurring scenes—to trace the hidden lines that shape your story. Sessions in Cape Town or online in English are slow enough for close noticing, with space between meetings for small, real-world experiments. I blend careful listening with imaginative techniques and concrete communication practices to shift patterns that emerge as anxiety, grief, addiction or relational stuckness. People wanting steady, reflective collaboration tend to find this approach clarifying and emboldening.
