KATE provides positive help for trauma victims.

KATE has been a volunteer for the North Durban Victim Support Team which provides psychological help for victims of trauma and those in need of assistance. She has proved to be a great asset to the team. Together with her enthusiasm, motivation and skill, Kate has made an invaluable difference in the lives of many individuals who may otherwise not have received help. We have received positive feedback from victims and clients that have been helped by KATE and have no doubt that she would make a difference in the lives of everyone she sees.

KATE helped me gain perspective
Through some life-changing events and personal challenges in 2023 and 2024, I felt my daily life was affected. I felt overwhelmed and constantly battled with focus, making personal and professional decisions difficult. I became an overthinker, unable to be the person I once was, and I needed help to get back there.
I decided to look into life coaching after a friend, who had benefited from it, shared how much it had helped him through his own challenges. I thought about booking a first session and told myself, “Let’s see if this is for me—I need to be convinced.”
However, that first session soon turned into fortnightly sessions, and before long, I started to see my life returning to the perspective I truly needed.
Over four months with KATE, her support and coaching skills gave me the guidance to re-evaluate my abilities in all areas of my life and make choices that improved my mind, body, and soul. She has been deeply connected with me on this journey—even in moments when I felt like giving up—and now, I am a better version of myself because of her efforts, which extend far beyond just the sessions.
Her encouragement, guidance, and support have helped me step into my full potential. Her passion for what she does is something I deeply value, as I now see my future with optimism and confidence, knowing that I can still achieve everything I once believed in.
Thank you, KATE—I truly appreciate your passion for helping me believe again!

KATE is an amazing person who’s easy to speak to and knows how to ask the right questions. She also makes it easy to be vulnerable and to freely speak from your heart. I’ve never felt awkward or judged around her and I feel like that’s what you need in a therapist.

KATE is deeply compassionate about helping people

What stands out the most about KATE CROSSON is her love and care for people. She is a people person at heart which is why being a counsellor and life coach is the perfect path for her. It is not just a career for her, but an outworking of her deep value and desire to help others. She is deeply passionate about helping people find their paths, or helping them find ways to cope in areas of struggle. Her life experience and pursuit of knowledge has given her compassion and wisdom that enables her to help a variety of people with a variety of struggles. She has been a listening ear and source of wisdom to me. I know with certainty that she will help many others as she has helped me.

KATE is a creative problem solver!

I had the pleasure of mentoring KATE CROSSON during her time in the GoH Psychology Graduate Mentorship Programme. KATE demonstrated exceptional dedication, compassion, and expertise in her pursuit of becoming a Specialist Wellness Counsellor.
KATE’s passion for providing a safe, non-judgemental space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions is truly inspiring. Her natural ability to connect with others, coupled with her strong work ethic, makes her an outstanding professional in the field of counselling.
I highly recommend KATE to anyone seeking support or guidance. She is an exceptional listener, a creative problem-solver, and a caring professional who genuinely prioritizes the well-being of her clients.

KATE develops coping strategies customized for every situation.

KATE was an absolute game-changer when she was appointed as a teacher at our international school in Kenya. She has a unique gift for connecting with children and staff members, helping them navigate life’s challenges.
KATE was always there to support students who were struggling. Through her patience, empathy, attentive listening, and creative approach, she helped them develop coping strategies and build confidence.
What impressed me most was KATE’s ability to communicate complex concepts in a way that was both relatable and engaging for the students. She is fun and interactive, which helped them feel comfortable and motivated.
As part of the management team, it was incredible to witness the positive impact she had on both students and staff members. I noticed a significant improvement in her students’ grades, as well as an increased sense of self-awareness and self-esteem, thanks to her approach, guidance, support, and empowerment.
I highly recommend her to anyone—individuals, families, or children—seeking a compassionate and effective counsellor and life coach. KATE is truly a gem.

KATE embodies so many of the qualities of a great counsellor: warm, kind, caring, intelligent, and experienced. She is brilliant with teenagers and has a rapport with them, as well as an understanding of their needs, that is seldom seen. I refer all my teenage patients to her for counselling.

I first met KATE through North Durban Victim Support in 2024 when she was introduced to me as a member offering counselling and debriefing to victims at my station. I have been fortunate to work with such a woman of her calibre. Together, we have conducted awareness programmes and worked to empower the North Durban community, including children, through school safety initiatives. Her dedication comes from both her heart and experience. Working with KATE has been a rewarding journey so far, and I look forward to continuing our efforts to empower young women and children in my area.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with KATE CROSSON in different situations. She is an immensely kind and considerate person, and her ability to connect with even the toughest personalities is remarkable.
