What my counselling clients are saying
Cathy has been a great pillar of support for me every month! Aside from being a good listener, she has a knack at finding the root cause of any problem and providing practical solutions, to equip you with the skills to deal with similar situations. I would highly recommend speaking to Cathy, whether you have problems to navigate or even if you just have things to get off your chest.

Cathy is an attentive listener and a devoted therapist. She has supported and helped me through processing and healing past issues. Cathy welcomes her clients with a safe place for vulnerability and honesty, allowing me to open up with ease. My relationship with myself and others has never been better.

The strategies that Cathy taught me have been immensely helpful in completing my studies and managing my anxiety. Cathy’s approach was so warm and welcoming, and I felt comfortable sharing how I was feeling. The techniques that Cathy used have helped me to build self-awareness and notice my emotions more clearly and without judgement. I put a lot less pressure on myself than I used to, and find it easier to make decisions that will help me continue in a valued direction for me.

I spent a fair amount of my adult life feeling like I couldn't be myself in front of a therapist. But from the first moment meeting Dr Cathy Mak, this was never an issue. Her gentle, thoughtful and empathetic style has enabled me to really feel at home in my own skin, and to be honest, mindful, and grounded. I particularly appreciate her use of a range of approaches, including encouraging visualisation and embodiment of challenging emotions. As a result of our sessions, I have experienced a certain catharsis and level of insight that has had a positive impact on my life and relationships. I began working with Cathy postnatally on a recommendation from a close friend, but hope to be able to continue our sessions far beyond this phase of life.
