Kate Dugan

Psychologist (BAPsychSci(Hons), MProfPsych)

Kate brings over 6 years of experience working in elite sport and as a generally registered psychologist. She has extensive experience presenting group skills workshops and providing individual counselling to both athletes, as well as individuals looking to improve their mental health. In addition, she has spent a number of years supporting individuals to get the most out of themselves and life. While she has a special interest and passion for working with athletes, she thrives in assisting individuals more generally with managing low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and developing and maintaining an array of performance skills, self-care and balancing areas of life.

Kate has experience working with a diverse range of individuals, including adults and children, able-body and para-athletes, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and individuals with an Intellectual Disability. She is also a LGBTQIA+ ally.

Kate currently works with adult clients, and provides tailored treatment informed by Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based CBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Positive Psychology approaches.

While demonstrating her strength in performance psychology, Kate is competent in working with a variety of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, grief and loss, chronic pain, difficulties in interpersonal relationships and general life adjustment and balance.
