Kathryn Furfaro, PACFA

Kathryn Furfaro is a counsellor credentialed with PACFA who brings a straightforward, supportive approach to therapy. She draws on three years of client-facing experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns. Kathryn believes people know their own story and that therapy helps surface strengths to move forward.

She works in plain language and focuses on small, practical steps people can use between sessions. Conversations look at patterns in relationships, feelings after loss, and ways to cope when life feels overwhelming. Kathryn aims to make sessions feel manageable, especially when someone is already stretched thin.

Her background includes helping clients with grief, relationship strain, and issues around control and communication. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability, alongside worries about money and life purpose. Sessions often address isolation, attachment concerns and feelings of guilt or shame.

Kathryn frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. People can expect a kind but direct style that balances practical ideas with space to reflect.

If someone wants to explore therapy, Kathryn encourages taking one step at a time. She helps people find manageable ways to cope and make changes that suit their everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based techniques are used to help people with everyday problems in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns in thinking and behaviour and trying small experiments to see what changes feel helpful; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on exploring emotional responses and relationship patterns to improve communication and manage feelings after loss or when attachment issues arise; this can help with grief, relationship strain and feelings of isolation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to current concerns, goals and how a person prefers to work, then suggest options and try them collaboratively. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the process remains useful and manageable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity of care while managing health challenges or care responsibilities, with session timing and structure tailored to everyday life.
