Mies Counselling
& Psychotherapy
Kate Dorland
English-speaking therapist
Kate helped me change my life. I came to her at the age of 42 after realising I had carried and bottled up that I was abused as a child. Blocking this abuse damaged me and would have continued to wreak havoc in my life if I had not had the help from Kate to work through it. Without this therapy, I don’t know where I would be today. My marriage and relationship with others have improved drastically since therapy. How could anyone get close to me and know me, when I didn’t even know myself. What I appreciated most about Kate’s treatment was how she used questions and exercises to help me come to my own conclusions. My last session was over a year ago, but I still use these methods on a weekly basis to help me cope with situations and emotions that I feel. I know myself better now and am a happier person because of the therapy.

Going through therapy with Kate has been a life-enriching process. One reason why Kate has been such a good fit for me is that she has always been flexible in her approach. If something isn’t working for me, I know I can share this with her and she will work with me until we find something that does. Her grasp of the dynamic field of psychology and her incisive personality allow her to do this skilfully. I would highly recommend Kate to others who are seeking a therapist who is attentive, engaging, kind, and knowledgeable.

I went to Kate unable to confront my own thoughts, I couldn’t eat or sleep and I had panic attacks 3 or 4 times a week. Now, I’m a happy and healthy person able to tackle stress, panic and anxiety on my own, My sessions with Kate have really changed my life. Kate has been a rock for me when I felt my life was falling apart. My worst fears came true and I lost any sense of direction. She helped me regain stability and utilize tools that still help me today. She always went above and beyond to make sure I felt safe and had everything I needed to be healthy again.
