Kathy Larkin
Kathy Larkin is a Life Coach and Counsellor whose passion is to facilitate understanding, insight, growth and real life changes in her clients while also expanding the overall quality of their lives. She does this with gentleness, confidence and humour. She has special expertise working with all types of relationships whether they are with children, couples or families.
Kathy is a much-loved and often requested Phoenix Rising facilitator. She has been training closely with Master Counselling Facilitators Graeme and Gayle O’Brien for 12 years and as such has had 12 years of ongoing counsellor training with them prior to undergoing the requirements to earn her Certificate IV and Diploma in Community Services.
Kathy has accumulated many hundreds of counselling hours facilitating individual, couples, family and groups. She is also trained in CranioSacral therapy which is a gentle hands-on light touch which assists the nervous system to rebalance itself, resulting in a greater ability to relax and the lessening and often complete remittance of unpleasant and painful body symptoms.
Kathy worked in a Primary School as a Student Support/Teacher's Assistant, where she gained invaluable information about children and how to work with them so they can feel heard and respond with personal responsibility. She is also a wife and the devoted mother of two teenage children.
"I thrive on supporting parents and children to understand one another more clearly and deeply. Through a decade working as a family counsellor, I have collected a wide variety of simple and very practical tools/skills to support families to improve their relationships in a very short time.
The tool I find I teach the most is simply Using Effective Language. It’s truly amazing to watch how quickly differences can dissolve when clear language is used to clarify what each person means by what they are saying."
Kathy also loves to support individuals and people in all types of relationships to become aware of their limiting beliefs & the unconscious patterns playing out in their lives. Then, when they have this awareness she gently supports them to talk about what has been unexpressed and then identify and create the changes they desire.
