Forensic-informed therapy focused on change and accountability Authentic ethical support Individual assessment and intervention Choice dignity accountability
Katrina Czerkies is an experienced practitioner with over 20 years of work in forensic psychological practice. She is known for an approachable, authentic, and ethical style, and she offers individual assessment and intervention for people who may be facing difficult circumstances or finding themselves engaging in harmful behaviours. She believes that building insight into thoughts, feelings, and actions is a practical first step toward creating meaningful change.
After two decades in the public service, Katrina moved into private practice to broaden access to forensic psychology support within the community. She brings the depth of her professional background into this setting, aiming to meet people where they are and to provide thoughtful, structured help that fits their situation.
Katrina does not take a one-size-fits-all approach. She values choice, dignity, and accountability, and holds the perspective that behaviour does not define a person - it can reflect ways someone has learned to cope and survive. She is passionate about walking alongside clients as they work toward a safer, healthier, and more meaningful life.
Katrina holds AHPRA registration, meaning she is registered with Australia’s national health practitioner regulator.
Katrina Czerkies works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, drawing on structured methods that are practical and goal-focused. This style often emphasizes understanding patterns in behaviour and the situations that trigger them, which can be helpful for concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and coping with major life changes.
In a forensic-informed setting, therapy may also include careful assessment and targeted intervention planning. That can look like clarifying what is happening, identifying risks and strengths, and building strategies that support safer choices and greater accountability, without reducing a person to their behaviour.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Katrina collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels realistic right now, then adjusts the work to fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions around work and family responsibilities, and access support from wherever is most convenient.
