Kate Ortiz
Hello, I'm Kate.
I specialize in helping adults, teens, and couples navigate challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients challenge and change negative thought patterns, Mindfulness-Based Therapy to encourage staying present and reducing anxiety, and Person-Centered Therapy to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space for self-discovery. I am committed to empowering my clients with the tools and strategies they need to achieve personal growth and mental well-being. If you're ready to take the next step toward a healthier, more balanced life, I’m here to support you on that journey. Book with me today!

Online Counselling FAQs
We’ve answered some of the most common questions people search for when considering online counselling in New Zealand: based on their specialisations.
What is online counselling and how does it work?
Online counselling allows you to connect with a qualified counsellor from the comfort and privacy of your own space, usually via a secure video call. At Mindful Connections, our sessions are held on a confidential, user-friendly platform. All you need is a quiet space, an internet connection, and a device with a camera. Once you choose your counsellor, you can book a session that suits your schedule — it’s that easy.
Is online counselling as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes, studies have shown that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many people and issues. It’s convenient, discreet, and allows you to access support regardless of your location. Our clients often tell us they feel more comfortable opening up in their own environment, which can help build trust and connection with their counsellor.
