Catherine McAllister

Catherine Hannah is an integrative counsellor and social worker based in Norwood, South Australia. She provides trauma-informed counselling to children, adolescents and adults, both in person and via telehealth. Since working in the social work and counselling sector from 2019 and formally practising as a counsellor from 2023, Catherine has been passionate about early intervention and creating spaces where people feel safe, respected and genuinely heard. Her approach is relational and collaborative, honouring choice, control and pacing in the therapeutic process. Catherine draws from trauma-informed practice, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic approaches and elements of schema therapy. She has a particular interest in nervous system regulation, attachment patterns and supporting individuals who appear “put together” but carry deeper vulnerability beneath the surface. Her work is grounded in warmth, reflection and the belief that healing happens when people are supported to reconnect with who they have always been.
