Katharina is interested in working with NDIS clients of all ages and abilities. She has experience working with various child populations as well as adult mental health and adult disability populations. Katharina currently works as a children’s counsellor for a large organisation using expressive modalities including music and movement. She addresses emotional, social and behavioural goals in fun and creative ways with children aged 4 to 18 years who have experienced trauma. Some of these children have been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, anxiety or depression. Katharina has also run creative and therapeutic dance and movement sessions with groups of children aged 2 to 5 years for several years. These sessions have a developmental focus and are aimed at supporting the children’s fine and gross motor skill development, as well as refining their social and cognitive skills and enhancing their emotional wellbeing. Groups have included children with a typical course of development as well as children with a developmental delay or diagnosed with ADHD or ASD. Furthermore, Katharina facilitates improvisational movement sessions for the general public based on mindfulness and authentic movement and inspired by techniques and the philosophy of contact improvisation. These sessions have an internal focus and include various mediums of reflection such as writing, drawing and verbal sharing. Katharina’s vision is to help children and adults attain a sense of wholeness, wellness and personal safety by facilitating experiences which promote their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
