Kate Landete is a Central Coast-based clinically registered Counsellor (PACFA) and an Accredited EMDR Practitioner and Full Member of EMDRAA (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Association of Australia), having completed extensive training and supervision in trauma-focused therapy. Kate is also a Victims of Crime Counsellor in NSW.

She founded Kate Landete Counselling over six years ago with a focus on providing compassionate, evidence-based support for people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and complex life experiences. She works with men, women, and young people (12+) who are seeking support through difficult or overwhelming seasons of life.

How Kate Works

Kate’s approach is warm, grounded, and trauma-informed, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Resource Therapy ACT, DBT, mindfulness, positive psychology, and parts work. Kate’s style is person centred, strengths based and neuro-affirming allowing her to tailor support to each person, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Alongside ongoing counselling, Kate also offers EMDR Intensive Therapy Packages for people who are wanting a more focused and immersive therapeutic experience. These intensives provide structured, extended sessions over a short period of time, allowing for deeper continuity and momentum when working through specific memories, experiences, or patterns that feel stuck.

Whether through weekly counselling or more focused intensive work, Kate adapts the pace and approach to suit what feels most supportive for each person.

Kate supports people experiencing:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Grief and loss

• Anxiety and overwhelm

• Life transitions and chronic stress

• Perinatal mental health (fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and matrescence)

She has a particular passion for supporting women through the perinatal journey, including the emotional complexity, identity shifts, grief, and adjustment that can come with motherhood.
