Listening for your own way forward
I believe we all have an innate capacity for healing and greater wholeness. Therapy is not about someone else deciding how this process should unfold.
What therapy can offer is a particular kind of supportive attention, helping us notice assumptions and habitual ways of relating to ourselves and the world that may be getting in our way.
When we feel genuinely heard and understood, we can open up to this natural wisdom and discover new possibilities for clarity and connection.
A little about my background
I’m Kate Keenan, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Expressive Arts Therapist. I trained in intermodal expressive arts therapy at The CREATE Institute, and my therapeutic work has included individual and group support with adults navigating trauma, housing instability and gender-based violence in community and residential settings.
Throughout my life, I have worked in music, theatre, writing and collaborative art-making.
Those experiences shaped how I understand creativity—not mainly as producing something original or technically accomplished, but as an innate human capacity for discovering, communicating and making meaning.
They also taught me to trust processes whose direction can’t be fully known in advance. That trust has become a touchstone in my practice of psychotherapy.
