PGDip Nut; AdvDip Nat/Nut/Herb Med As Director of Compass Health Group and a Nutritional Psychologist, Kate’s core focus is working with individuals who are motivated to maximize their potential for rich, full and meaningful lives. Kate takes an integrative approach to understanding mental health. Kate uses various evidence-based psychological therapies (CBT, ACT, DBT and Schema Therapy), and understands the use of pathology testing for mental health, medical risk monitoring regarding eating disorders, and research regarding nutritional psychiatry, sleep and exercise in relation to mental health. Kate routinely works with GPs, sports and eating disorder dietitians and exercise-based clinicians to help form holistic treatment plans. Kate commonly works with individuals who may experience issues with: eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, RED-S, health anxiety, clinical perfectionism, health-related behaviour change, PMS/PMDD/peri-menopause and insomnia, along with those who experience depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, trauma and substance misuse.

She has over 3 years experience working for a statutory agency and this has given her the opportunity to work in a system that requires meeting both legal and ethical obligations while delivering services based on evidence based research and practice. This position has also refined and honed Jen's ability to communicate with a diverse range of individuals, from key stakeholders in the government and non-government sectors to clients using the services delivered within a social work setting. Jen puts particular emphasis on developing ongoing rapport and relationship building with all those that she works with. She has extensive experience with clients who present in a distressed, angry and chaotic state and believes that a non-judgmental and empathic communication style used (over time) can move clients from conflict to resolution. Jen has also distinguished herself in the field of fine Arts, including winning the Arts Medal for her graduating year at University. She continues to have a keen interest in the field of literature and art and its transformative effects on both individuals and society. She has been a student of philosophy and as such this has shaped her as a strategic thinker – understanding the primacy of the whole and how one part or individual interconnects, influences and affects all others. This understanding gives her the ability to help people solve problems in their lives, in sometimes a non-linear fashion – focusing on the ‘bigger picture’ and helping highlight possible intended and unintended consequences of actions and solutions. Jen has a keen interest in helping people discover what they really value in life & how to move towards having the life that they desire. Jen is also able to provide leadership coaching and communication skill-building. Her interest in this area has been fashioned from diverse sources from psychological writers such as Daniel Golman (Emotional Intelligence/Primal Leadership), Literary texts - Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’ - managing conflict, to philosophic thinkers such as Hegel and his use of dialectics (Thesis – Antithesis – Synthesis). Thich Nhat Hanh (peace activist and Buddhist Monk) writings have also been a major influence – using mindfulness to promote non-violent solutions to conflict.
